In your README file, you mention that the list can be used as a block list in other blockers:

As a blacklist for another blocker

Add https://ssl.bblck.me/BarbBlock.txt as a blacklist.

Given the syntax you have used (||example.com), and the comment character used (!), I am going to assume you have in mind blockers such as ABP, uBO, AdGuard, etc.

However the syntax of the filters could lead to false positives. For instance, the first entry:

||functionalclam.com

This could cause false positives. Consider this fictitious URL:

https://functionalclam.com.example.com/index.html

Your filter would be a hit on this URL, while I am sure this is not what you intended.

You need to add the ^ special character at the end of the hostname:

||functionalclam.com^

The purpose of ^ is described here: https://adblockplus.org/filter-cheatsheet#blocking2:

A separator character has to follow that will indicate the end of the domain name, e.g. / or :.

I know a false positive is unlikely with those weird hostnames, but still, a ^ appended at the end would just completely remove the risk.

I've just added your BarbBlock blocking filter list to uBlock Origin.

Many thanks. Hoping the list is as complete as possible (I've seen several on the Web) and that it'll be updated if/when applicable.

Title pretty much sums it all - why an extension and not a list? You can advertise uBlock or any other blocker and provide instructions on how to add the list (a simple url like abp:subscribe?location= would suffice). This saves resources and follows DRY.

If you're worried about traction, you may ask for it to be included as one of uBlock's default lists. Either way, and given your target audience, I don't believe this to be the best approach.

Good luck! 👍

Edit: If you'd like to keep the extension, could you please provide a file with the list of domains as well?

I used to use https://paulgb.github.io/BarbBlock/blacklists/hosts-file.txt but even with “block” instead of “black” this yields a 404 now. Where did it move?

I hope not... would appreciate any update regarding the status of this project.

Thank you

On Adblock Plus for Chrome, I encounter the following error when trying to install barblock:

Failed, download failure

Thanks for taking a stand and pledging to fight the good fight. We need more "Internet heroes" like you.

The current URL provided for the list, http://bblck.me/BarbBlock.txt, is insecure. Can that domain be made secure, or the URL updated to one that is secure (currently, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paulgb/BarbBlock/master/BarbBlock.txt seems to work)?

Is a DMCA takedown required for each domain, or just for bad actors who use it for any of their domains?

I'm not sure how to add a label. Hopefully this works.

label:blacklist

Found this Admiral domain while browsing https://www.comicsands.com/teens-pretending-lgbtq-scientific-surveys-2623048406.html?utm_content=inf_1123_3759_1&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=SAND&tse_id=INF_545f4d90fd9011e8b433ab68d22425b2 and blocked it.

Although the following is not formally a DMCA takedown, the E-mail threat that is listed in mitchellkrogza/Phishing.Database#15 is close enough to being a takedown that I think it would be something you could check out and consider adding to your lists nevertheless.

Paul, do you or anyone else know why the uBlock Origin project has bblck.me listed as a "badware" site?

See:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/blob/master/filters/badware.txt

The responsible filter is:
||bblck.me^$all

This filter blocks all hosts on the bblck.me domain. The "badware risks" filter list is included and enabled by default with uBO.

I found this PR: uBlockOrigin/uAssets#10235, which links to this issue: gorhill/uBlock#2935. I also found this issue: gorhill/uBlock#2864.

In order to facilitate merging with other hosts files, can you please remove the extra spaces in each line from
https://ssl.bblck.me/blacklists/hosts-file.txt

Thanks!

I noticed that https://github.com/CHEF-KOCH/BarbBlock-filter-list currently includes more domains.

Is it simply due to lack of free time on your end, or are there other reasons?

Per @migueldemoura's comment in #5

First of all, great work. You have implemented the extension I was thinking to make. Saves most of a lot of work!

As you might know, Firefox now also supports the use of the WebExtensions API. This means that this Chrome addon should be portable to Firefox without much effort. In fact, I don't see any reasons why this extension wouldn't work on Firefox.

Of course use Firefox users could download the code and install it as an unsigned extension, but then we wouldn't have any convenient way to update the extension in case more producers or websites start abusing DMCA for their shady business practices.

Will you please consider making and publishing a Firefox version of this extension? Your efforts would be greatly appreciated.

Dedup the URLs from the existing lists and generate them centrally

Are the blacklists the urls removed from the respective blockers? Are they directly used in BarBock?

It would be useful to have several other mirrors of BarbBlock that are upstream of this repo, to ensure a central source of truth in the future if Github decides to take this repository down.

Some alternative sites include gitlab.com and gitgud.io (Both allow you to mirror to Github, Bitbucket, et al. afaik). I understand the point of this is to challenge the DCMA, but while that challenge is in progress this repository will be inaccessible by the public.

This list is useful in my opinion, as it also acts as a hall of shame for legal intimidators.
Yet, I would like to be able to see which legal threat caused some domain to be added to the list, because it's both informative, and it makes sure that no domain is added here by mistake.

Would it be possible to add as a comment next to each domain entry a link pointing to the legal threat?

Many other domains were found that are owned by Admiral and point to the same IP as #1. There's a list at https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/admiral-domains.txt

Thank you for your contribution to the Human Rights issue of Privacy defense. This is a war of attrition those who would injure the naive for profit cannot win long term. There are more Privacy Evangelists working philanthropically than there are vile merchants dishonestly offering a bundle of values as free.

Domain name: ``smilingwaves.com`

is repeated two times in this file: https://paulgb.github.io/BarbBlock/blacklists/domain-list.txt

Is this list still relevant to use ?

ssl.bblck.me is no longer having a valid DNS record.
