Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is not a “list of allowed websites”.

I don't think it makes a difference, if anything, it's worse that it's in their autocomplete list.

Yes, that does make a difference and no, it’s not.

An autocomplete list is most likely generated based on statistics and contains sites that are being _used_, and an allow list is moderated and contains sites that are _condoned_.

Interesting side-note: there are only two *.ai domains on this entire list: 1. "tempo.ai", which doesn't actually resolve 2. "web.ai", an http-only site that looks kind of like a cross between a geocities website and a parked spam page, with the content allegedly last revised almost 20 years ago (2003) I wonder how old this list is.

My competitor is in this list and I'm not, even though my site is more popular. There even are some small Dutch campings, municipalities and regional football clubs on this list. It's a strange list for sure.

My website is in there but with a typo (people often make that mistake) :( The website with typo doesn't exist.
