Why should the domain(s) be blocked?

Shopee, heaviest shopping app i've ever used. With so many useless link involved.

I've tested it by myself to make sure doesn't break anything or limit some functionality as shopping app .

Only some links can break the feature if the site i gave @@ mark are blocked.

Oh, a shopping tiktok ... ;)

[MagicalAlchemist]

Similar but worse.

[hagezi]

It would be easier to block *.shopee.* :D

[MagicalAlchemist]

We can do that, but I'm not responsible if someone visits your github and gets angry because of which madman blocked the platform they thinks is a rival of tiktok. :joy:

Hi just adding my two cents.

These were the domains I blacklisted on my family's Pihole a while back. I personally didn't notice anything broken nor did my family mention anything.

livetech.shopee.sg
df.infra.shopee.sg
cvf.shopee.sg
msdk.shopee.sg
offline.toc.shopeemobile.com
fe-reporting.shopeemobile.com

It's been a while since I last tested these. Let me put them in my blacklist and see if it breaks anything.

[MagicalAlchemist]

Thanks for the input @jarelllama

[jarelllama]

I'll blacklist my region's version of @MagicalAlchemist 's domains above and test out the Shopee app for a couple days. I'll update if anything seems broken.

Added the following rules to my wildcard rules, the domains for the other list types will be extracted from toplists on next full update:

! Shopee - the Shopping "TikTok" ;)
||ccms.shopee.io^
||cvf.shopee.*^
||dem.shopee.com^
||df.infra*.shopee.*^
||endpoint.mms.shopee.*^
||fe-reporting.shopeemobile.com^
||frd.shopee.*^
||gslb.sgw.shopeemobile.com^
||livetech*.shopee.*^
||msdk.shopee.*^
||offline.toc.shopeemobile.com^
||patronus.idata.shopeemobile.com^
||play-sp.vod.shopee.com^
||play-src.vod.shopee.com^

Actually some links are for AI to learn your shopping habits and show you products base on your browsing habits.

Ok, so which domains shouldn't be blocked, I can't test this properly either as it's not available for my region. What I have seen of the website is the absolute plague. Worse than the data octopus TikTok ...

This one is good. I tested it again and it didn't spoil the shopping experience in the app.

Please note, shopee has weird behavior, with or without a blocklist, i think the app side is not good because sometimes images/video don't occur although our connection is fine.

[hagezi]

Ok, thanks.

[MagicalAlchemist]

Hallo @hagezi Is there any reason for dropping shopee blocklist above ? Has someone reporting some breakage ? I saw this resolved on my adguard home when it was previously on the blocklist.

[hagezi]

Something was wrong, but not all of them should be affected. I'll have to take a closer look at this at my leisure.

[MagicalAlchemist]

Really? I haven't encountered any breakage so far. Btw I'm an active shopee user.

[hagezi]

Fixed with the next update.
