    Steven Black's hosts blocklist has been removed from uBlock Origin Lite. This change will take effect in the next update.

    github.com/gorhill/uBlock/comm

    The commit removing it cited an issue thread where a user complained uBlock Origin Lite was breaking stripchat.com, a pornography website.
    I have confirmed Steven Black's list contains a filter blocking the domain stripchat.com

    A comment in the HOSTS file states the entry was "Added April 28, 2023".
    In an issue thread from 2025, the maintainer explained the reasoning behind blocklisting it:

    The domain stripchat.com isn't just porn. It's also a pop-over and pop-under site that appears in many contexts, typically porn but not exclusively.

    As such, it's just like LiveJasmine an others which we include in our regular list because it's also adware. And annoying.

    In an issue thread from two weeks ago concerning breakage on theweathernetwork.com which was cited in the stripchat thread, mapx stated the maintainer was unresponsive to messages on an internal discussion platform.

    github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAsset

    Messages in an internal discussion platform show Ryan Brown and an AdGuard employee were informed about breakage on theweathernetwork.com caused by their lists respectively. However, I have been unable to locate the messages referenced by mapx. It is possible they were sent through private messaging, on another platform, or the message is not being returned by my searches.
    As such, while I do not believe mapx is lying, I have been unable to verify this claim.

    Due to the lack of granularity in DNS level blocklists, it is not possible to unblock a domain only for a specific website, or only block specific URLs on a domain.
    According to an issue thread from 2021, the domain in question - assets-jpcust.jwpsrv.com - is used for serving both advertisements and legitimate content.

    Steven Black's list was first added to uBlock Origin Lite in 2022. It is not included in uBlock Origin.

    #HeyMasto je cherche à mettre en place un filtrage parental pour un ordinateur destiné à être utilisé par des jeunes dans une association.

    N'étant pas trop coutumier de ce genre de choses existe-il des outils libres et surtout efficaces que vous pourriez me conseiller ?

    J'ai pensé a modifier le fichier hosts de la machine avec la liste de #StevenBlack ou un logiciel type #Weblocker

    Peut-être des DNS menteurs que vous pouviez me conseiller ?
    J''ai trouvé:
    - DNS de OpenDNS FamilyShield
