Description
Prerequisites
- I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
- The issue is not present after wholly disabling uBlock Origin ("uBO") in the browser
- I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior
I tried to reproduce the issue when...
- uBO is the only extension
- using a new, unmodified browser profile
Description
With https://github.com/Spam404/lists/blob/master/adblock-list.txt last updated in late May 2021, and approx. 60% of its domain entries dead, it could be time to question that list's continued inclusion in uBO.
I could've easily found 3 or more anti-malware lists to replace it with, hadn't it been for uBO continuously banning list-suggestions since mid-2018. Just know that I'd be ready to help with that.
A specific URL where the issue occurs
Steps to Reproduce
- Go to https://github.com/Spam404/lists
- Notice they were last updated 5 months ago.
- Run either of the two list versions through whichever tool you guys prefer to find dead domains.
- Notice that a majority of the domains are dead or down.
Expected behavior
That uBO's anti-malware lists consist of decently often updated and dead-domain-purged lists.
Actual behavior
uBO contains three anti-malware lists, of which only Badware Risks is of high value at the current time.
