Yes, I agree. We should remove them from the list.

Not because of that bit of JS there (which is funny in itself), but basically
because they are unreliable and nobody knows who is behind it and how to get in
touch with them. At least that is my perception of all of this.

And it is not that there are no alternatives. There are plenty and people should
choose from there.

Best,
