I have no issues and no calls to indiatimes.com##.consent-popup
indiatimes.com##+js(addEventListener-defuser, copy) May |I suggest you in addition to this hosts file also install uBlock Origin to help protecting your self? |
Thank you for responding to my request. I had tried to put in the subdomains of initial interest, but it did not go in. I did some further digging and am sharing some results I found:-
Nevertheless, your filter list is very effective in combating trackware and is part of my composite filter list i have compiled for DNS level filtering. |
Just a little "setting things straight"
My heart is in the DNS RPZ firewall not in ublock, uBlock is a append to this as you can do things more fine grained there, non the less I do fully agree with you in using it as a firewall.
You can see what was blacklisted at my end here: https://mypdns.org/my-privacy-dns/matrix/-/issues/3592 This include blacklisting of drill geoapi.indiatimes.com

I leave it to @anudeepND as 1. it is his list. 2. I would personally leave it as so in my own project. 3. make a recommendation to the individual users to whitelist in case it brakes things for them. |
@blackice19 Thanks for reporting, TOI is broken due to:
https://jsso.indiatimes.com/sso/identity/login?channel=et is a login page and should not be blocked. However, while investigating I was able to detect 2 new trackers:

---> For the jsso subdomains, I am not sure. It could well be the case. I do not log in to comment. So i have kept them blocked in my filter list and site loads. If this is the case, then it needs to be unblocked for users who log in. A note would be fine to make them aware, in my opinion. However, geoapi.indiatimes.com is a show stopper. If blocked, either at firewall level or at the browser level, the website does not load the homepage. I recommend this to be whitelisted then. Note:- geoapi.indiatimes.com reads IP to determine location. what the html script returns is : Whatever little I understand of html code used in timesindia.com, the subdomains i have found so far that are called by it are implement both in scripts and links. (please see the 2 attachments in pdf). I block the urls and IPs at DNS level for system wide blocking. The scripts can be blocked via ublock for compatible browsers.
-->agi-static.indiatimes.com was blocked previously and TOI website loads with this blocked. This is java script and could be blocked via ublock. I have blocked the domain in my DNS level firewall, so the domain is never allowed in on any browser or TOI app (have seen this domain called by the app as well sometimes on iOS )

OS: MacOSX
When opening timesofindia.indiatimes.com website (tried on safari & firefox), it goes to the initial landing page, but the website does not load any further after that (see the attached pdf). Some of the domains pertaining to indiatimes are blocked. I unblocked the first three, but I suspect the ibeat.xxx subdomain may be main culprit, as the .js for it is not loaded.However, this domain may be trackware (?).
