@yokoffing the other blocklist based on DDG you provided is an adblock-syntax blocklist, not a hosts-syntax blocklist like ours. The problem is that with the latter, you are much more limited, so we need to filter out hosts that will break things (as you noticed there might be some left).
I’ve been having problems with the Odysee video website. With this list on it complains about not being able to synchronize settings and slow performance.
false positive canary.discord com
is needed for the alpha version of the Discord Messaging Client to work. It is stuck at connecting if you don’t whitelist the host.
cs510.wpc.edgecastcdn net breaks twitters Desktop Website
cf-hls-media.sndcdn com you can’t play music on soundcloud without whitelisting this.
img.chefkoch-cdn de , pictures on chefkoch.de are missing this way.
vip-lb1.osuosl org is a cname for blog.replicant. org and breaks it. Not sure were the original host comes from.
feeds2.feedburner com is used by various websites to produce a news feed via rss.
In terms of the host you found missing, not all hosts from the ddg files will be added to the final list. It’s because this would break way too many websites. Instead, there is a basic heuristic performed when deciding what to add to the list. You can find the script here if you wish to propose improvements:
images.justwatch.com just hosts pictures for justwatch. That shouldn’t be blacklisted.
Same is true for ```heise.cloudimg.io````, heise.de articles without images look strange
speedcdn.cloud.funkedigital.de prevent’s reading pages like morgenpost.de and probably other newspapers by that media group that are hosted as cname on the same server.
