Hi @jameskimmel. I don't think this is a false-positive. The dashboard seems to make a lot of requests to t.stripe.com, which look like:

https://t.stripe.com/?domain=dashboard.stripe.com
    &page=%2Fdashboard
    &referrer=
    &cid=[redacted]
    &lsid=[redacted]
    &viewport_height=573
    &viewport_width=1504
    &analytics_ua=analytics.js-CURRENT_VERSION
    &flags=[redacted]
    &arb_id=[redacted]
    &exp_page_load_id=[redacted]
    &revision=81ca1c0e1c78d570503969565f95edb2fc8ed50b
    &dashboard_user_role=urole_admin
    &stripe_locale=en-US
    &page_name=%2Fdashboard
    &page_load_id=[redacted]
    &header_locale=en-US%2Cen%3Bq%3D0.5
    &user_set_locale=auto
    &livemode=true
    &pages_viewed_count=1
    &page_owner=dashboard_experience
    &pageview=true
    &viewed_name=dashboard
    &event=dashboard.viewed
    &event_count=5
    &page_view_id=[redacted]
    &event_id=[redacted]
    &merchant_id=[redacted]
    &user_id=[redacted]

From what I can tell, these seem to serve no purpose apart from tracking. Additionally, blocking this breaks neither the stripe dashboard, nor stripe-based payments.

I wanted to close this but you were faster :) You are absolutely right! My pihole blocked stripe.com because another list had stripe.com as a host. Excuse my misunderstanding.
