grnh.se #308

Closed p1r473 closed 2 years ago

p1r473 commented 2 years ago

Hi Dan, grnh.se is a URL shortener service for greenhouse.io Based on you not blocking some other URL shortening services, as well as not blocking greenhouse.io, I was wondering if this may have been a false positive Though I do agree that some URL shortening services may havesome level of click tracking. This is on ads-and-tracking-extended.txt which may mean you've already increased the threshhold for blocking of this

As always, thanks for the great ticket @p1r473!

This is an older one, added in April 2020: https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/commit/179666fb1ae259a358865622b2fcd6011c50a028

'grnh.se' might be a bit aggressive, but I had a ton of requets from my phone, and I'm certainly not job hunting.

I have not since seen this behavior, and so I agree that this should be removed from the list.

It will be removed in the next update. Thanks again!
