Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hsts?

That stands for HTTP Strict Transport Security. Its a http header that basically tells your browser to only connect to this website via HTTPS/TLS for a configurable amount of time. Its a protection mechanism that prevents encryption stripping man-in-the-middle attacks.

I know, that's why I mentioned it. The http site worked fine for me, so I figured parent post already has a HSTS entry in his browser

Blocked in uBO by The Block List Project - Malware List.

Block list without veracity or traceability doesn't mean much...

I was hoping someone would know why it was blocked as malware, thinking it might be compromised and that people should be warned. VT says it's safe though so it's likely a mistake. Not sure what you mean about traceability. You could check the github.
