You guys are using cloudinary to server images it seems which is blocked by most adblocker lists because it's to serve video ads a lot. Assets seemed to be served under https://res.cloudinary.com/adaface so I can't unblock just your one company.

Great effort though, seems similar to github awesome lists. I use https://github.com/topics/awesome to always get the latest ones




Damn, I just built a web app that uses Cloudinary for image management and storage… Is this widely known? I use an adblocker and never saw the issue in dev.


Not sure, I use pi-Hole and it haven't manually added it there. https://github.com/anudeepND/whitelist/issues/56. It seems that they've added it to the whitelist, maybe you know someone in your network that uses pi-hole and can verify.


But as you can see here, Cloudinary supports serving ads, So it'll be present in the private lists that are being used by a lot of ad-blockers. https://cloudinary.com/documentation/video_player_ads_moneti...


s3 is also used to deliver ads. so do you block *.amazonaws.com ?


No, like i said, I hadn’t explicitly blocked this one either, it was a part of the adblock list the I’m using. The example i gave also showed that they don’t have a unique subdomain that i can unblock while adcompany.amazonaws.com can be done without blocking all sites
