      I wonder if it has to do with the region you try to load it from. The message in the screenshot seems to indicate that it might.

      could be that there’s been an update to the filters to deal with this issue?

        I viewed 3 articles, no issue. Cleared cookies & site data before hand to be sure I hadn’t already allowed them at some point.

        I can confirm this behaviour, Fennec on Android with uBlock Origin.

      Same, works fine. But I don’t block cookie popups, I have consentomatic handle them instead, plus Firefox is getting that built-in, anyways.

      I’m not experiencing any of this, but my setup is insane at this point. Ublock origin with a custom bypass paywalls filter list and noscript enabled… no ads… no blocks… Just content. Using mull on android with mullvad DNS.

      You think they might have updated something in response to backlash…? I had thirty-five blocked elements with Firefox and UBO. Fuck CNN…
