This repository was made public in Feb of 2020. All domains are from custom scripts and/or manual additions.

- Notice
  Due to increasing scams, all generic remote support domains will be added to the Malware list, unless proven safe.  

Usage Notes

• Overlap: Categories like Ads and Tracking may overlap.
• Risk: Blocking Bloat, Free, or Marketing may break stuff.
• Typo: Contains mostly dead domains. Avoid on low-end devices or when merging with your lists.
• Wildcard Blocks: Some domains may appear dead (e.g. badsite.com), but subdomains (e.g. 1.badsite.com) may remain active.
• Prefixes: www., mobile., and m. are removed.

Maintenance

• The repository is occasionally compressed to reduce size, removing logs, diffs, and previous commits.
• Dead or parked domains are periodically removed.

Contributing

• Open an issue with category, domain, reason, and proof (if possible).
• I will not merge other lists
