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:
- Privacy doesn't exist
- Does the Adguard Tracking Protection List protect Chrome and Safari from CNAME trackers?
- fastmailusercontent.com added to AdGuard Tracking Protection filters
-
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.

Marvel.com CNAME Tracker not in list
Not sure where I should report this, but I seem to have found a CNAME cloaking tracker which i don't find in either the original or disguised tracker lists here https://github.com/AdguardTeam/cname-trackers Is there a mechanism for reporting these? I saw someone posted a list on github, but no response there. Maybe this example is just ordinary tracking though?

Next DNS doesn't respond to any help issues.
NextDNS gives you a whole bunch of 3rd party filters, maintained by random dudes in Github repos as a hobby. We support some of them too in the "3rd party filters" tab, however we don't encourage anyone to actually use them, as we have our own Native filters, that we've built up over the course of 5 years based on feedback for millions of Windscribe (our sister company) users. Our native filters are highly effective, and prone to much fewer false positives. We recommend you try them, you will be pleasantly surprised with how they perform. I guarantee you that you will spend 90% less time making whitelist rules for false blocks... or your money back :) "Native tracking protection" filters are all part of the IoT Filter. NextDNS has the individual toggles, which enforce this small set of rules. Out IoT filter enforces all of them, as well as 10x more things.
