[False Positive] `pippio.com` in the `Alternate versions Anti-Malware List/` #511

Describe the problem below this line as meticulously and detailed as possible (incl. pagelinks if any)

It doesn't look like a malware website but just an advertisement or tracking site.

Found it in some adblocking lists, like:

It's added in https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/commit/60da5f91d1f844fb485460173d7ad96c96a2cb3f about 4~5 months ago, but didn't see the details about it.

Some domain security report reference:

Which filterlists did you use? Failing to tell this will temporarily close the report until it has been told.

Alternate versions Anti-Malware List

The domain was added at a time when mass-additions of domains found in entire testing sessions were being experimented with; though this is the first time I've seen an issue reporter consider an ad domain to be a false positive (Previous similar occasions were about entirely innocuous domains).

I'll remove that entry later tonight.

Just wondering if there're lists for advertisement, for more accurate categorization, maybe should put those domains in the right list, instead of mixing with malware?

DandelionSprout commented 2 years ago

I don't have standalone lists for language-neutral advertisements, based on the expectation that AdGuard Base, uBlock Filters, and EasyList handle them in much more detail than me.
