Feature Request: Add a new Folder that automatically syncs across profiles

It would be awesome to have a new folder that syncs across profiles.
The idea is simple:

Blocklist request: hagezi’s “Most Abused TLDs” blocklist

It would be nice if ControlD added hagezi's most abused TLDs blocklist as an official third-party filter.
Right now I can block every TLD manually, but maintaining hundreds of entries myself is a pain and creates a ton of false-positive work whenever hagezi updates his list.

Feature request: Built-in Phishing Domain Hunter (like dnstwist) for ControlD

I would love to see a built-in phishing domain hunter in ControlD, something like dnstwist but directly integrated.
It could automatically scan for newly registered typosquats, homographs, bitsquats and block them

Preset Rule to Block Reddit Media

For those of us wanting to block pornography, Reddit is a problem. Reddit is a very useful site for many purposes, but there is also a lot of pornography there making it easy to circumvent the Adult Content filter. Luckily I think Reddit uses different domains for all the thumbnails, images, and video that it hosts from user submissions. So I would like to be able to allow visiting Reddit without user submitted media (text only).

How about a Webinar on Troubleshooting ControlD & DNS Issues?

I am a longtime cybersecurity pro. I recommend ControlD to all of my clients. Some have teams of DNS experts, others have small tech teams. The smaller clients tell me that they sometimes struggle using ControlD. A website that is mischaracterized. Websites that have unexpected connections. Occasional slow responses. And more.
