If anyone has any information regarding any entries on the possible hosts list, please inform me here, so I can either add it to the appropriate list or remove it as a false positive.

Hi! I am working at FunCorp, company of iFunny.

ws-afb3a55b-8275-4c1e-aea8-309842798187.sendbird.com is a hostname created for iFunny by SendBird, SaaS platform for our chat. Behind it is their standard API - https://docs.sendbird.com/platform It is for chat, not for tracking.

Ah, thank you. I'll get that fixed!

@infinitytec a151.g.akamai.net is a CNAME for rgom10-en.url.trendmicro.com As such, blocking this host has broken Trend Micro AV.

Regarding clientconfig.akamai.steamstatic.com, This is used for static client configurations over akamai which is steams content distribution network. This includes serving configuration files for certain games. Also a CNAME for akacdn.valve.com.edgesuite.net which is a Valve CDN None of my other 545 blocklists block this one ;)

Regarding mobilecrashreporting.googleapis.com, Its not so much telemetry as it is literally mobile app/OS crash reporting, literally I believe this one is perfectly safe to keep blocked, as well, many other blocklists block this one too I use Android OS, and have not noticed any issues whatsoever. Google will not receive the mobile crash reports.

Regarding osce11-0-en.url.trendmicro.com It is used for my Trend Micro AV to initiate Smart Scans, and it is their Global Web Rating Server Safe to remove. Only one 545 (literally actually) other blocklist has this, and I have reported it there as well. https://github.com/mkb2091/blockconvert/issues/30 https://success.trendmicro.com/solution/1113595-smartscan-unavailable-shows-up-and-agents-cannot-connect-to-the-global-scan-server-in-officescan https://success.trendmicro.com/tw/solution/1107850

Regarding api.intelsa.intel.com This is the API for Intel's Security Assistant. APIs can be used for all sorts of functions. This one is also unique to your blocklist. I think this one is safe to let pass through.

Regarding activity.windows.com Many other blocklists blocking this one However, some things will break:

new Chromium Edge browser's sync feature doesn't work. Sync is relied on it. If blocked, no comment votes are possible in Windows Store.

https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/issues/205

Safe to let through if you don't want to break things.

Closing. This has been rather static.
