blacklist instead of whitelist about spotify-adblock-linux HOT 2 CLOSED

I think there are advantages and disadvantages to using a whitelist. On the one hand, not having a whitelist means less maintenance effort and simpler program logic. On the other hand, having to explicitly whitelist new domains means that ads are less likely to go through when there are changes on Spotify's end and you're also blocking other potentially unwanted connections like third party trackers by default.

Using a whitelist initially seemed like a good idea, because the list was very short and didn't have to be changed very often. I didn't expect Spotify to stream podcasts directly from third parties in some regions though. So if that turns out to be a bigger problem, switching to just using a blacklist might be an option.
