Yeah, some websites can be easily misinterpreted for another, it’s best that some websites with similar domains to others get filtered.
paint.net is an exception because it is literally the name of the program. In other words, just talking about the image editor will accidentally link you to a domain purchasable by anyone.
I’m confused. Preventing paint.net from automatically hyperlinking causes more unnecessary problems than allowing paint.net to automatically link to an unrelated website?

Oh you’re talking about banning the phrase. I agree that would be bad. I thought that was too far fetched to be what OP actually meant, I assumed he just wanted the name to stop hyperlinking.
I usually abbreviate it to PDN.
The JavaScript you posted isn’t malicious, it’s just minimised. It’s just webpack lol.
That’s not the only script on there. This is just one of them. Also, what about the analytics script (with no T&C?)
That is just to analyse traffic on their website for marketing purposes. Nothing bad.

There’s no ads on the website, and most websites have a “You agree to these” popup.
No, no, no. It is to look for potential domain buyers, not to give viruses. That is a business reselling domains, not a way to scam.
Hmm…
Well, it’s still kind of suspicious. I’m marking as a solution but leaving the poll open until we get some sort of official response.
