(Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz) We had problems with being blocked in the past.

In cases, where we got a chance to explain, they agree that it is a false positive and took us off the block list. At least, that happened so far in all cases that I'm aware of. However, there are so many lists that it is hard to keep track of them. Would be nice if you could provide some information which block list it is, so we can contact them.

The reason why we end on the blocklist is normally a misconception of our data collection system Human Web: https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-03/human-web-collecting-data-i...

If someone does not want to send Human Web data, the feature can also be disabled through the UI. Same if you browse in a private window; Human Web is automatically disabled there. There is no need to configure blocking rules.
