Copied from Bug 1657679 Comment 2. I suggest we entirely remove the list chooser UI and force Strict mode to use the Level 1 list for content blocking. We know that using the Level 2 list for content blocking has caused a lot of site breakage, which led to us deprecating it in Bug 1568900. A recent change to the blocklist has made the breakage even more widespread: https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-list-creation/issues/153, to the point where this config will break any site that uses the cloudfront CDN.

The list chooser was broken again in Bug 1663750.

Our deprecation plan:
- Add Telemetry (Bug 1663785)
- Force the list back to Level 1 when users are in Strict mode / switch to Strict mode (Bug 1628808)
- Determine our messaging / migration strategy depending on the number of users that still have the Level 2 list enabled.
Given that this will take a least a couple months, we should also add automated tests to ensure that the list chooser keeps working until we've fully removed it (Bug 1663777).
