According to the code on https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/blob/45ea5cf..., looks like that everything within Levenstein distance of 3 from whitelisted hosts (like "metamask.*") is blocked.

Metarank and Metamask have the distance of 3. I've made a ticket some time ago in their github repo (https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/issues/6855), but it seems that it was lost in thousands of similar tickets.

Yikes, best to just uninstall it then. That's insanely hostile to harmless sites.
Sorry that slipped through, I'll bring the team's attention to it.
lol, a lot of "metaXXXX" "fixes" in the PRs too... https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-phishing-detect/pulls
