Include Safing unbreak list?

Open didi8517 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Would it be possible (and applicable/make sense) to add the unbreak list that they have in Portmaster? Or something similar? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/safing/intel-data/master/lists/unbreak.txt

Thanks in advance

Is "ubreak" an allowlist? Presently, we don't include any form of "allowlists". And are hesitant to do so, as well. May be this usecase will be covered once Rethink implements letting users import such lists.

I'm not sure but I presume that's what it is, to help certain websites that are blocked by other lists to still work by excluding (allowing) certain Subdomains or so? The implementation of user imported lists would then also allow for allowlists? Considering you're hesitant about it...

Yes, a complete implementation would.

Considering you're hesitant about it...

Hesitant because we don't want a blanket "allowlist" to end up confusing people who selected "No Google" blocklists and yet for them Gmail worked (because they wanted to generally "unbreak" other stuff), say.

Rethink provides fine-grained per-app/per-domain (allow/deny) control than a blanket allowlist can, which (as of today) I think is the right way to go about it... though, nothing is set in stone.
