Description

Some of these links redirect to malware and phishing sites, others install potentially malicious PUPs, and others are simply adware. Almost all of these domains have subdomains, so I recommend blocking the entire domains.

Other extensions used

none

I tested a few domains and they are mostly blocked by EasyList. Please submit only domains which are unblocked with the default uBO config.

Also please post the full URL for testing purposes.

Popup domains thrown by ad scripts are being handled by EasyList. Malicious landing pages and spam by uBO badware.

~~Same for https://github.com/easylist/easylist/issues/19315~~ We can't add domain just because someone asked to add, unless you're already trusted contributor.
