The plugins purpose is to exclude or filter certain requests from tracking by Statify. However the current name "Statify Blacklist" is not actually inline with today's understanding of such terms. In WordPress Core 5.5 the word "blacklist" among others has been replaced by more precise wording where possible1.
The term "filter" has been used in various places already and clearly describes the behavior of this plugin. So we rename the plugin to "Statify Filter" and rephrase front-end texts.
Plugin slug (permalink), textdomain and all public class and constant names left untouched for now, to not introduce breaking changes at this point. To be cleaned up with next major release.
