It's merely a normal warning page telling you visiting an external site, nothing anti-phising defence about it. Other sites do it too. Shifted to Annoyances. |

The whole www works that way: click a link, navigate to another site. Surely we wouldn't want to be warned every single time that the expected is about to happen? I disagree with removing these filters. |

With the "uBlock filters – Privacy" enabled it causes steam to no longer warn you when you are leaving steam. My concern is that it is disabling a very good anti phishing defence method.
I found these two filters on reddit
||steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http$doc,urlskip=?u,badfilter
store.steampowered.com#@#+js(href-sanitizer, a[href^="https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=http"], ?u)
but they no longer work, I think the filters where moved to the "uBlock filters – Privacy" which is why.
I am using firefox on windows. I also used windows sandbox to test in a fresh environment and was able to repeat the issue.
How can I re-enable steams leaving site warning?
Might I suggest keeping such things under annoyances so it is not on by default?
EDIT:
A good test is
https://store.steampowered.com/app/377160/Fallout_4/
scroll down and click on the "Recent Events & Announcements". The link within that will have the steam warning.
But if you go on the actual community page
https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/eventcomments/742664166129571184?snr=1_5_9_
There is no warning.
Thanks
