EasyList Forum

The recently added filter of for chase.com is too aggressive.

Our website (next.leadconduit.com) has an API endpoint at that returns data about events that have happened in our system. These events have nothing to do with privacy -- they're statuses of success/failure on sending data to certain other API endpoints.

I can't provide sample links since it's behind authentication, but I can provide screenshots:




I'm happy to help resolve this issue. Is there anything I can do?

The easiest thing you can do is change the API endpoint name to anything other then If that's not possible you'll need one of the EasyList authors to take a look. Without having a page to test that's going to be very difficult to diagnose.

For the end user @kellym what is the problem? (event monitoring is still considered tracking btw)

I see, sorry. I thought this forum was the proper way to unblock bad regex filters. I think assuming all websites that use an API endpoint "/events/analytics" is an overly aggressive matcher. Analytics of events don't necessarily mean invasion of privacy. This isn't user event tracking. This is literally tracking events that our system generates. We call things in our system "events", and thus anything other than "events/analytics" doesn't make sense.

Changing our API endpoint is an illogical solution. This would be a breaking change for our users. Also, what happens if someone decides that using the word "analytics" is now deemed a privacy concern? These filters can't be so specific unless they're also tied to specific domains.

well, in Easyprivacy we're blocking a lot of "analytics", 1204 filters
