BTW, accessing metarank.ai gives warning. May be because it has Meta in its domain name but Metamask shows this message -- This domain is currently on the MetaMask domain warning list. This means that based on information available to us, MetaMask believes this domain could currently compromise your security and, as an added safety feature, MetaMask has restricted access to the site. To override this, please read the rest of this warning for instructions on how to continue at your own risk.

I got the same warning. I forgot I even had that thing, to be honest. But, in saying that - what kind of filter is MetaMask using to just blatantly wipe out domains like this? Kind of on the fence on how I feel about it.

  Doesn't seem to be a Metafilter.

thats ridiculous.. MetaMask puts warning on anything with Meta* in the name? good luck with the horde of metaverse startups on the way

  According to the code on https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/blob/45ea5cf256e19f6ded991da9915048f1c934782f/src/detector.js#L36 https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/blob/45ea5cf..., looks like that everything within Levenstein distance of 3 from whitelisted hosts (like "metamask.*") is blocked. Metarank and Metamask have the distance of 3. I've made a ticket some time ago in their github repo (https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/6855 https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/6855), but it seems that it was lost in thousands of similar tickets.

    Yikes, best to just uninstall it then. That's insanely hostile to harmless sites.

    Sorry that slipped through, I'll bring the team's attention to it.
