Why is the Disconnect trackers list (https://services.disconnect.me/disconnect.json https://services.disconnect.me/disconnect.json, referenced in https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firefox/content/services.js https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firef...) an encrypted blob?
That seems to go against the OS nature of the project.
- byoogle 13y agoSee the commit message at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/commit/691897e21d2a9ad7f11b036b20292ac7464209ce https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/commit/691897e21d.... The unencrypted list is at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/b27abbf033c6f80f157fe9d98cb767c87065fbf4/firefox/content/disconnect.safariextension/opera/chrome/scripts/data.js https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/b27abbf033c6.... And formatted as JSON at https://disconnect.me/services-plaintext.json https://disconnect.me/services-plaintext.json. The encrypted list is also trivial to decrypt with the SJCL code in https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firefox/content/services.js https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect/blob/master/firef....
- dictum 13y agoThanks! I was setting up a proxy for devices that can't use Disconnect or Adblock. I thought of adapting the Disconnect list to the proxy's block list, but a cursory reading of the source only showed the URL of the encrypted list.
