When I go to the Ublock Origin extension on my various desktop/laptop windows computers/browsers; I noticed that on 2 of those computers, when I click on the [Settings] cog then [Filter lists] scroll down the list to [+Custom]; I see 2 custom entries I don't recall (my memory is bad anyway) adding. (I don't even remember knowing that I could add custom entries)
Has anyone used these two "block lists" before?
When I use a browser then go to the first site "...cedia.org.ec..." I get the "404 Not Found".
Add: I see that the top level domain for *.ec is equador.
When I use a browser then go to the second site "...gitcdn.xyz..." I get a block list of domains prefaced with:
When I go to the Source URL "...malwaredomainlist.co..." Firefox pops up with the following message:
Something to be worried about? ...or did I probably add these months/years ago, for whatever reason and just don't remember. One site is now down, and the other/list seems legit but outdated/out of business.
