    It’s not smuggled, during initial setup when installing the blocklist it prints this on the screen:

    Added 'No-QAnon' blocklist, see https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon

      If I saw this, I would not assume that Gawker, WikiLeaks, or FOX Weather would be included in a blocklist called “No-QAnon”. The list itself might not be smuggled, but it’s not accurately representing itself either. If it has simply evolved over time, then it needs to be renamed or split into separate blocklists.

      Additionally, if someone installing this changes their mind or realizes that what they received is not what they expected, then requiring them to either directly modify the database or click “remove” over 3000 times is arguably a dark pattern.
