Anybody know why the domain is on one of uBlock Origin's blocklists[1]? The styling is annoying as all hell but it doesn't seem to be an ad server.

Ghostery has it marked as a "Customer Interaction" tracker, which apparently

> Includes chat, email messaging, customer support, and other interaction tools.

The summary page has some privacy details:

> Data Collected:

Yeah apparently they provide chat popups, didn't realize since reader view killed it. Thanks.


Because uBlock° is an annoying-crap blocker, not just an ad blocker.


This company provides those contact chat popups (one of which you can see on that page too), so that's likely the reason.


Thanks. Reader view killed the chat popup, so I didn't notice anything untoward.
