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

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/8d9832b4d617b2e616ba0e5091137db4ae5dcc1b

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.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/31670

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.

Stavo cercando di riloggare in #Discord (perché per qualche motivo stupido certe volte il client #web perde l’accesso a caso, a gusto suo), e visto che il mio IP cambia di continuo (perché la mia linea #Internet cade sempre), ho dovuto usare il link di verifica ricevuto via mail. 😴️

Nulla di fuori dall’ordinario, se non per il fatto che il dominio del link (click.discord.com) rifiutava la connessione, ma in passato ha sempre funzionato. Un sospetto mi viene subito, ed è azzeccato: è stato il #PiHole a bloccarlo. Precisamente, per via di una regola nella lista predefinita, di #StevenBlack. 🙄️

Beh, il #problema è in parte nuovo e in parte no. Ne parla la #issue #2502 (4 mesi fa) che però è finita scartata senza troppe #questioni, ma poi anche una di 1 settimana fa (#2574)… ed è iniziato un buffo avanti e indietro di accuse tra mantenitori e utenti, con i primi che danno la colpa a Discord per l’usare uno stesso dominio sia per tracking che per cose essenziali, e i secondi incazzati fumanti che non riescono a loggare. Entrambi hanno ragione però, secondo me, è questo il #paradosso. Oddio, a ‘sto giro l’utente che si sta lamentando in realtà è 1, che ha poi deciso (un po’ salty) di recarsi pure da quelli del pi-buco a suggerire di trovare un’altra lista (#5577). Ovviamente, non gli hanno dato retta. 😂️

It doesn’t matter if listing a domain interferes with fundraising by the Holy Sisters relict of Mother Theresa of Calcutta. If the domain vehicles tracking, adware, or worse, it gets listed here. This project serves people who value privacy and online safety.
Letteralmente Steven Black per giustificare i blocchi di qualsiasi cosa (basato).
