That's right, you didn't say that. You said there is a "public" and a "private" list. To me this sounds like the "private" one is somehow hidden from the public and cannot be seen which isn't the case.

I don't necessarily trust the adblock developers. The whitelist can say that a sitekey is only used on certain sites, but how can I know it isn't also being used on others? If sites want to have their ads white-listed, they should be less sneaky about it and just add `ad` to the class, making it possible for the users to prove that only that ad is whitelisted.

There is no list of sites which utilize the header and do not appear on the main allow list.

It's a whitelist for parked domains...

In what world is a page full of nothing but advertisements considered "unintrusive" and deserving of whitelisting?
