Many of the academic journal websites simply refuse to load when I have SC running. Additionally, lot of sites don't render correctly when I have SC running. For example: github looks like this: Screen Shot 2013-03-07 at 11 33 31 AM

Here is a copy of the SC BLOCk in my hostfile

@slayton do the rendering issues go away after restarting your browser? best guess right now is a browser caching issue

slayton commented 11 years ago

@cstigler restarting the browser and resetting the cache didn't fix the problem.

However, removing: *.salon.com and *.slate.com from my blacklist seemed to resolve the issue. I'll keep me eyes open for any abnormalities and re-open if I can identify broken sites.
