Hey,

go.skimresources.com

is a false positive, if blocked it will block affiliate links from websites like redflagdeals.com

this might also be the case for other skimresources.com URLs but i'm not sure

I've only tested go.skimresources.com

@git-anish They track users using invisible pixels. perform behavioral analysis and targeted advertising. For more information take a look at: https://better.fyi/trackers/skimresources.com/ https://whotracks.me/trackers/skimlinks.html/

They operate under different domains such as redirectingat.com and skimlinks.com, currently they're not present in the list. I will add them in the future updates
