Having issues with google domain #21

Closed aburke20 closed 4 years ago

aburke20 commented 4 years ago

Since the last few days I've been having issues watching Youtube videos on my phone.

I tracked it down to this blocklist, and the semanticlocation-pa.googleapis.com domaine.

Is that something that will get updated/fix, or that I need to disable from now on ?

similarly, with all variations of: rX---sn-XXXXXXX.googlevideo.com , from a different blocklist.

Just trying to figure out what I should whitelist, Thanks.

Hi - thank you for the ticket here.

I have gone ahead and removed semanticlocation-pa.googleapis.com from my list for now. I believe this is a part of google's user location API, which I do find invasive, but I am willing to remove this single domain from my list to make it easy for people to block the thousands of others on the list without having to whitelist something on their end.

Let me know if this helps your video issue, please? I'm eager to know if it is the root cause.
