Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs)
Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs) → ☢️ Enabling may cause breakage
While there are legitimate NRDs, many are nefarious. Here's a recent (June 2022) incident of a scam NRD (example | commentary 1 2). Another example is social media hacks where users click on links in there messages. Those are usually rogue NRDs.
This is marked as disabled because it will cause false positives. However, if you are comfortable allowlisting occasionally, it is strongly encouraged that you enable this. Selectively add NRDs to your allowlist; and if you add certain ones to your allowlist, NEVER give sensitive information to a NRD!

Add these brands according to what devices you use. There's no advantage in adding brands you don't own; however, there’s not a strong reason to omit unused brands either.
