The purpose of these lists are to block ads/tracking, not sites like these. I'm against including them in the host list as being out of scope.

ghost commented 5 years ago

I agree with @terrorist96

Blocking the fake news is hard. Who decides what is fake news? Instead of blocking certain news sites, people should be educated to understand what is the truth and look beyond the news. And that isn't the Energized's mission.

I think if Energized would block fake news, 99% of users would complain, as Energized would need to block the entire mass media, hahaha.

So no thanks.

AdroitAdorKhan commented 5 years ago

Well, I haven't added any list since the last big update. Infact I have been thinking about removing few lists that contain too many false positives!

And, no worry there! I will add only reliable and regularly updated lists.

smnthermes commented 4 years ago

digdeeper.neocities.org isn't a fake news site. Please, remove it. Edit: also spyware.neocities.org

smnthermes commented 4 years ago

This list is the culprit: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists/master/hostnames.txt

AdroitAdorKhan commented 4 years ago

Added them to whitelist. Will be fixed on next release.

ghost commented 4 years ago

for the original demand, if a list of clickbait is created, it must be an extension and not in the "normal" list
