Expected result

HaGeZi's Allowlist Referral is an allowlist and it's confusing to place it under "DNS blocklists" when the UI has a section for "DNS allowlist" -- does it mean the intention of the list is reverted, block the allowlist or is it truly an allowlist?

The UI for "DNS allowlist" should work the same as for blocklists, the user could pick from a list of presets (such as HaGeZi's Allowlist Referral) or add their custom.

FWIW, this list is very useful to have to not break shopping sites and referral links.

There doesn't seem to be a separate category for allowlists in the HostlistsRegistry repo, so you should probably propose the change there first, as AdGuard Home merely uses the structures provided there.

Not sure what this means, sorry.

This is the repository with the list of filters that AdGuard Home uses. All changes in categorization must be proposed there, not here.

It's not a change in categorization, it's a change in AG Ux.
Why doesn't AG give you the option to choose from lists when you are in the "allow lists" settings?
