[puLL-Merge] - brave/adblock-lists@2001

Description

This pull request updates various ad-blocking and anti-tracking rules across multiple files in the Brave adblock-lists repository. The changes primarily focus on expanding the list of domains and URLs that are blocked or filtered to improve user privacy and browsing experience.

Changes

Changes

  1. In brave-lists/brave-firstparty.txt:

    • Added new rules for readcomiconline.li to block specific ad elements and requests.
    • Added a general rule to block requests to /ads/bid300c.aspx.
  2. In brave-lists/brave-ios-specific.txt:

    • Added three new domain blocks:
      ||arcasticnotarycontrived.com^
      ||prinksdammit.com^
      ||21wiz.com^
      
  3. In brave-unbreak.txt:

    • Extended the list of domains for several existing rules, including the nowoif and rmnt JavaScript interventions.
    • Added readcomiconline.li to multiple existing rules.

Possible Issues

No major issues are apparent in this update. However, as with any ad-blocking rule changes, there's always a small possibility of false positives that could break functionality on legitimate websites.

Security Hotspots

This update doesn't introduce any obvious security vulnerabilities. Instead, it enhances security by blocking additional potentially malicious or intrusive domains and scripts. However, it's worth noting that the constant cat-and-mouse game between ad-blockers and advertisers means that these rules may need frequent updates to remain effective.
