Website Falsely Flagged by uBlock Origin and ProtonVPN Netshield Filter #255

When trying to visit "noscript.net", ProtonVPN's Netshield blocks the site from loading (two separate browsers were unable to connect to the server until I disabled Netshield).

When attempting to connect to "https://noscript.net/faq" from the DuckDuckGo search results, uBlock Origin stops the site from loading due to a filter in the "Phishing URL Blocklist".

It seems that the term "noscript" was falsely flagged. There are other URL's contained in the rules list that have "noscript" in the URL. Two of them are from sites I am unfamiliar with, and are probably correctly flagged. But I think this may have led to the noscript site itself also being flagged, leading to a false positive.

Here is a link to screenshots showing the "Phishing URL Blocklist" rules in uBlock Origin that contain the term "noscript": https://imgur.com/a/3jnprRI

And here are a couple screenshots showing what happens when trying to visit the site: https://imgur.com/a/x3kMcOK

Thank you for your report. Could you please open an issue against https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets, which seems to be the place where this problem could be fixed? Thanks again!
