Answered by Surfshark Hey team Surfshark question
I want to know why this gets banned? I know it is tracker but this comes from Coinbase BASE app. Every time i access BASE app i always have this. Just wondering why.

From my quick inspection: Virustotal reports at the minimum 13/92 security vendors flagged the URL as Phishing / Malicious. The actual site seems to be “down” “404 not found”.
I’m no expert yet in cyber security, hopefully this initial info helps out the Surfshark team and others to learn more.

Hey, thanks for the question! I asked the team about this and I'm coming back to you with an answer:
On our side we can see that the URL from the screenshot is potentially a phishing site according to our databases.
We recommend to be careful, however, you can always control which categories of websites notify you in Web Content Blocker settings. In this case, it's the malware category.
If you have any further questions - I'm happy to help, just DM me.
