Regarding certain domains in your list

[McDaisy]

Hi,

Great job. Ive been using your list for a while now and it does its job. I was trying to understand how domains are added to the list. How are the addition reviewed etc? And what are the possibilities to remove domains/pull request form the list.

Because I found out some certain domains for example one of them: "uso.svenskamassan.se" is a server used for photos not as ads but as icons and presentations use in many websites for different serious and big exhibitions in Gothenburg. It is a shame that such server is blocked in the list. Of course I know how to disable it for myself but I believe that that specific domain is a mistakte to have in your list.

I have a few more but I dont quite understand the possibilities to discuss this.

Thanks!

I'm mostly alone in adding domains to the list, with a few exceptions from people that opens issues sometimes. (So that's where erroneous filters and ads/tracking/annoyances should be reported.) Pull requests are trickier as the main.txt file is checked with FOP.py and then sorted with a custom bash script that includes the headers with date etc.

I check some popular sites more often than others almost every day. Smaller sites I may not have time to check very often, so there can be some occasional misses. Sometimes I find new sites through search engines (using various ad related search strings.) I check for ads, tracking, various unnecessary annoyances that covers content or interrupts the user. (Mostly mailing lists modals, anti-adblock, some eu cookie banners, etc.)

The reason for adding uso.svenskamassan.se was probably because of the tracking script uso.svenskamassan.se/business/external/log2uso.js found on bokmassan.se. And probably because I couldn't find the domain anywhere else on either svenskamassan.se or bokmassan.se I assumed it was only related to tracking. (But it's fixed now.)

The list quality can only get better if more people report issues in the issue tracker.

Thanks for quick and prompt reply. I see you added the whole url for the js. Great!

Is this the proper channel to report misses like this?

Thanks!
