Canonical link: https://clickhouse.com/blog/en/2021/clickhouse-inc/

But I presume the GitHub link (https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/website...) has been submitted because clickhouse.com is going to be blocked for a large fraction of HN users (Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list, which I think uBlock Origin has enabled by default, includes ||clickhouse.com^). I’m actually a bit curious why clickhouse.com (or more likely a subdomain?) would be being used this way; I’d have thought that they’d separate any such uses to a different domain so as not to hinder their main domain which is about the software and nothing to do with ads or tracking at all (even if that’s probably the main end use of such an OLAP DBMS).

Someone just reported this to me and I've removed the entry from my blocklist.

This was a very old entry - it was added on Fri, 06 Jun 2003 19:53:00. Back then it was a marketing company that served ads.

I pride myself on knowing the entries in my list very well, but I have to admit I forgot about this one, which is ironic because I use Clickhouse at my job these days.

Great! That makes much more sense.

Thank you for maintaining such lists. You and a few others like you save me much time and aggravation.

Thanks! This worked instantly just now as I purged cache and updated all lists in uBlock Origin.

I don't look forward to when Chrome enforces Manifest v3 when I'll probably have to wait for a whole extension to be updated instead of just a list file.

I'm surprised and impressed that you would remember what's on the list.

Thank you for your hard work. Every day it makes my experience of the internet 100x better.

Thank you for this service!

Thank you so much for the hard work you do! It makes the web sooo much more usable.

FWIW, clickhouse.com is also blocked by "Malvertising filter list by Disconnect"

It's also blocked on my Pi-Hole install network-wide apparently.

I'm assume that this mostly because of Ukraine. There is a blacklist for any Russian products. There is also people that try to extend this internal to UA list to various ads list.
