We've made an active effort to remove phishing pages or any reported malware, but our efforts are not generally taken into account. As such, Mozilla and certain AVs sometimes block us. If you actually type your SSN into a.sinister.ly, you're one naive human. We appreciate when people take the time to report malicious files and we remove them as soon as we hear (unfortunately, Mozilla and Malwarebytes are sometimes not as empathetic).

Yeah, I did see this coming. Its not that its inherently bad, its just that there is hosted stuff which may be malicious. Even when removed, it will likely still take ages as web security things like this take ages to update their information.
However, I still see it fine, and I am on firefox, so not sure where the difference is.
EDIT: Firefox has begun blocking a.sinister.ly for me too. Except its not giving me a PUP report page, it just won't load and immediately resets to the previous URL in the bar when I press enter and never loads anything.

Not exactly sure what a.sinister.ly is, But it's blocked on Vidalia (chrome) too.

I Just only started using it because firefox was being a minor bitch in too many ways. But I did notice Youtube videos actually starting off at 480p and 720p when i'm right next to my router. compared to the 480/360 I get with firefox.

I use Firefox and have never had an issue. It could be adblock or another plugin you use.
