comment: The Most Abused TLDs list is designed to block entire top-level domains (such as *.top, *.shop, *.gdn) with poor reputations. While this may also block some legitimate sites, it is highly effective at preventing spam, scams, phishing, malware, and other malicious content. Users should be aware of which sites are affected by this list.<br><br>Only widely-used, reputable domains, such as those appearing on major top lists (Umbrella, Cloudflare, Tranco, Chrome, DomCop, etc.) or those essential for popular apps and services will be considered for exclusion. Illegal domains, including those related to piracy, will not be unblocked. Domains that do not meet these criteria are reviewed individually; if exclusion is not justified, they remain blocked. Users who need access to such domains should add them to their personal allowlist.<br><br>This selective approach is necessary because AdGuard and uBlock Origin have technical limits on rule length when using denyallow/domain modifiers. Attempting to exclude every legitimate domain would eventually break important rules, so exclusions must be limited and carefully chosen.
