uBlock Origin Lite now available on Firefox
Note that CNAMEs is literally caused by GDPR, and the pathway every single ad or tracking company seems to go sooner or later.
For people not understanding how it works: you can set a CNAME entry on your tracker.domain.tld to bypass all Browser's third-party tracking preventions, and make it look like it's a normal subdomain of your website.
You need to make a CNAME tracker database manually by resolving the reverse entries for known IPs. Usually there is hundreds or thousands of CNAME entries pointing to the same IP address.
The AdGuard team also made a database for this, in case anyone needs it for UBOL [1]

Disguised trackers are blocked regardless of toggle (which is a good thing)
So nextdns’s third party disguised trackers is actually really tiny of a list, like 30 domains. (Im trying to add more so it has the same amount of cname’s blocked as adguard). Anyways, the reason why the list is so tiny is because it uses wildcard logic so all subdomains get blocked. It already uses some of the cname companies that adguards cname-tracker list uses but not all. Hopefully my pull request can get merge eventually because then the setting will be a little bit more effective

How to block fathom tracking
I see fathom on Adguard CNAME tracker. Example:
- Does the Adguard Tracking Protection List protect Chrome and Safari from CNAME trackers?
-
YouTube ads in Safari: you see them now, will you see them in the future?
> uBlock Origin already performs CNAME decloaking and blocks this approach, it’s pretty cool.
... which in return is a static list of domains which needs to be regularly updated, and therefore is not really failsafe. uBlock0 uses Adguard's scraped dataset [1] as a source to do this, as Chrome Extensions cannot make DNS requests without a DNS-via-HTTPS endpoint.

CNAME cloaking - is there a countermeasure coming to Pi-Hole?
I stumbled across AdGuard publishing a new list of trackers abusing the CNAME cloaking technique and, AFAIK, Pi-Hole does not offer any protection against these. So, I was wondering if there was something planned to do so.

UBO's url cleaner filter lists are terrible
Keep in mind that neither of those lists are default lists and neither are maintained by the uBlock Origin team. Issues with those lists should be reported to their maintainers: - AdGuard URL Tracking Protection: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues - Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/discussions/163
- Request to add filters for https://sofmag.com/
- Can this be added to the block list?
