You can block all zip domains with the following uBlock Origin rule under My Filters:

||zip^

@suprjami It feels the real mistake here was allowing the whole of unicode in domain names. Perhaps select one language for each URL and stick with it but mixing 10000 different symbols is going to lead to weird stuff like this

@sjb @suprjami that was also a mistake, but neither of those URLs has Unicode in it, there both all ASCII.

@dragonfrog @sjb @suprjami no, it's been pointed out elsewhere in the replies that this only works if you use Unicode characters that look like ASCII slashes but are not.
