Possible domains to remove #36

Closed holow29 closed 3 years ago

holow29 commented 3 years ago

There seem to be quite a lot of domains on here that break websites. Here is a list of some of them:

This is based on the Hosts list, so I am not sure how applicable it is to the others.

Used in multiple websites/services: ampproject.org adobedtm.com akamai.com bazaarvoice.com firebase.google.com sabre.com scene7.com

Websites themselves: adobe.com att.com booking.com carrefour.es collegehumor.com complex.com corporate.trovit.com corporate.walmart.com createjs.com crutchfield.com dailymotion.com delta.com expedia.co.uk experian.com flixbus.com forbes.com foursquare.com glassdoor.com help.overstock.com help.snitcher.com heraldweekly.com housing.com justwatch.com kayak.com landsend.com mailchimp.com philips.com phonearena.com qantas.com qualtrics.com rackspace.com shutterstock.com stackpath.com subscribe.hearstmags.com target.com touchcommerce.com uk.hotels.com wayfair.com wish.com

AMP Sites like ampproject.org use Google backend so they can easier track.

holow29 commented 3 years ago

Yes, the ones that I separated into the top category are all more likely to track, with the exception of sabre.com (an airfare booking system used by airlines):

ampproject.org - as you said, Google's AMP service; unblock if you want AMP sites to work but keep blocked otherwise
adobedtm - Adobe's Dynamic Tag Management service that some websites use; to be honest, I think I've only encountered 1 site that breaks using it, so I view this one as less important and potentially better to keep blocked
Akamai - a CDN
Bazaarvoice - a service used on many shopping sites
firebase - also a Google platform some sites use
scene7 - an Adobe service that publishing sites use

Kees1958 commented 3 years ago

All removed except: assets.adobe - tag management touchcommerce.com- customer engagement

@holow29 thanks for the feedback. I have accidentally used a source which I initially rejected (with last years major update), I remember finding carrefour.es (not france), quantas, booking, kayak and forbes (Forbes triggered me), thanks for your hard work. Really appreciate your feedback.

@beerisgood I have updated ABP and HOST. It is up to you to keep EDGE list (and maintain it) or remove it

@holow29 thanks for feedback

beerisgood commented 3 years ago

@Kees1958 i wait until Edge 88 (release should coming next days) and if the problem isn't fixed, i will delete Edge list. A up2date backup is in my fork.

beerisgood commented 3 years ago

Edge 88 stable is out, without a fix. So, i remove my Edge list for now.

glassdoor.com expedia.co.uk

These two domains seem to still be present; I am not sure if you meant to remove them or not.
