TBlocklist

My blocklist blocks some more exotic advertising domains. These providers annoy me with Windows Needs Updates popups and other dubious things.

FireTV

The FireTV Blocklist blocks advertising on the Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Win10Telemetry

The Win10Telemetry list blocks the domains to which Windows 10 sends its data. It ensures that Microsoft receives less data about you. And without any noticeable restrictions. The list is provided by the YouTube channel SemperVideo.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/Win10Telemetry

MS Office Telemetry

This list blocks the telemetry domains of Microsoft Office.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/MS-Office-Telemetry

Session Replay

Session replay is the ability to replay a visitor’s journey on a website or in a mobile application or web application. The replay can include the user’s view, user input and logs of network events or console logs. Data such as credit card numbers can also be collected. The Session Replay Blocklist blocks the most popular session replay providers. This helps to minimize the dissemination of your own data.

https://www.technoy.de/lists/Session-Replay.txt

Samsung Telemetry

The Samsung blocklist blocks domains that are used to retrieve statistics, for example. It is therefore comparable to the Win10 telemetry list.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPiList/specials/master/Blocklisten/samsung

Suspicious pages

Websites that pretend to be another website, for example, or where viruses have been detected are classified as suspicious sites.
