why is radar blocked..

My guess: https://radar.com/product/geofencing

> Best-in-class accuracy down to 5 meters

> Open-source SDKs with smart presets and customizable tracking options to maximize battery efficiency, responsiveness, and accuracy.

> Add geofencing to your apps with confidence. Visualize and debug every location update and geofence event with Radar’s dashboard.

Looks like this is used to follow the location history of app/website users on a map in the backend.

Not familiar with this list, but I'm guessing overly aggressive blocking of location APIs. More on our approach here: https://radar.com/trust

No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.
