Samsung/LG/Philips smart-TV ad(?) domains

DandelionSprout commented 2 years ago

Steps to reproduce

N/A

Expected behavior

Both of the following: 1) AdGuard DNS begins promoting itself as having support for smart-TVs, for which there's a potentially huge market. 2) The current entries for smart-TVs get expanded as far as feasible.

Actual behavior

AdGuard DNS has (a heavily underadvertised) support for blocking smart-TV ads (Primarily on Samsung TVs), so I figured I'd add a few more entries based on https://blog.malwarebytes.com/privacy-2/2021/11/smart-tv-adverts-put-a-wrinkle-in-your-programming/ and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV-AGH.txt

I propose:

||ad.nettvservices.com^
||ad.lgappstv.com^
||lgad.cjpowercast.com.edgesuite.net^
||lgsmartad.com^
||ads.samsung.com^
||gpm.samsungqbe.com^
||samsungacr.com^

Just a quick note - some of these were already on my list, but now they all are.

No need to add them. @ryanbr already added them to EL:) Just wait for DNS filter compiler.

BLOCK "gpm.samsungqbe.com" this domain will cause my SAMSUNG Smart TV can't login Samsung account and make the device can't install any app on it. (But if you installed already, the installed app still works) I need to whitelisted this domain in order to use any Samsung SmartThing's feature.

Thanks for the headsup. Seems like https://twitter.com/mattpbarlow/status/1453751474836709376 was wrong about suggesting that people should block that domain, then.
