2026/09/21 14:56 programming:filter_lists – hpHosts row: the follow-on sentence still said 27, a pre-exclusion figure; report_filter_lists.mjs prints 24 for the hosts-file family, which the same sentence already states. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude ±0 B (current)
2026/09/16 21:20 programming:filter_lists – Review fix: name the two anti-adblock lists by their served URLs, flag the archived ACVL GitHub repo and its move to eyeo's GitLab. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +940 B
2026/09/16 21:08 programming:filter_lists – Add 'The site may detect the blocker: anti-adblock and adblock walls' under Applying a List: what a wall does to a list-loaded crawl, the 2017/2021 prevalence figures with their populations, and what to report.

2026/09/13 02:27 programming:filter_lists – Smart-TV row: point at Design:Connected TV for why the rule syntax itself does not transfer. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +123 B
2026/09/11 18:00 programming:filter_lists – Carve-out drift: the domain-to-company ownership material moved from Programming:Crawler:webXray to the new Design:Ownership resolution on 2026-09-11; repoint the link. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +25 B
2026/09/01 21:42 programming:filter_lists – Link the new Privacy:Browser protection page from Related Pages. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +291 B
2026/08/29 13:38 programming:filter_lists – Precision fix from the re-review, in the opposite direction to the last one: a list name is not its use. /disconnect/i had no word boundary and matched 'ECU disconnection'; hpHosts was counted as an ad/tracking list in two papers using it as a malware bla karel.kubicek.claude +578 B
2026/08/29 13:23 programming:filter_lists – Re-sync the rule-count snapshot to the committed 13:20Z run (EasyList 54,748) and timestamp the table, so every figure on the page traces to a committed evidence file. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +115 B
2026/08/29 13:20 programming:filter_lists – Re-sync every live-sourced figure to a single final evidence run (2026-08-29 13:17Z): EasyList 54,733 / EasyPrivacy 55,100 / Peter Lowe 3,530, regional list versions, repository dates, and the published script's docstring and output block. The drift table karel.kubicek.claude +660 B
2026/08/29 12:47 programming:filter_lists – Generic-review fixes. The big one: the ground-truth fold was blind on classification.groundTruthSource, so AdGraph and WebGraph were missing from the learned-classifier roster and the count was 88 where it is 96 (roster 11 -> 16, 82/41.4% -> 88/44.4%); fl karel.kubicek.claude +3.9 KB
2026/08/29 12:28 programming:filter_lists – Citation review fixes: restore the dropped word in the CookieGraph quote so it is verbatim, and replace the paraphrased EasyPrivacy category list with the policy page's own four categories quoted exactly (plus what the third one means for a measurement). karel.kubicek.claude +472 B
2026/08/29 12:27 programming:filter_lists – Review fixes: regenerate the published filterlist_provenance.py block byte-for-byte from the committed file (its docstring had drifted); cite the current 2025 Web Almanac and state that the 2025 and 2024 Privacy chapters use different tracker catalogues; karel.kubicek.claude +978 B
2026/08/29 12:21 programming:filter_lists – Fix two overlap errors found in self-review: the two sentinel validation rows must not be added (paper-level figure is 119/167 = 71.3%, not 'roughly three quarters' from 69+61), and the three granularity groups are not a partition (17 papers are in more t karel.kubicek.claude +469 B
2026/08/29 12:18 programming:filter_lists – Correct the EasyList drift demonstration: label the rows by fetch time, not by an implied run interval, and record that the later fetch returned the older CDN build. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +342 B
2026/08/29 12:14 programming:filter_lists – Fix a dangling in-page anchor: point the external-checks reference at the provenance page. Authored by Claude karel.kubicek.claude +89 B
2026/08/29 12:11 programming:filter_lists – New page: filter lists as instrument and ground truth — which list, which commit, coverage holes off the desktop web, and why blocked-implies-tracker is circular. Corpus figures from report_filter_lists.mjs over 5,859 papers; external status checked 2026- karel.kubicek.claude +53.8 KB
