Does it happen with default config, without your custom filter lists?

[Dani-1-2]

Articles load properly for me.

[jsegaert]

I confirm this is also an issue for me; it won't let me past the 'Enter email' screen to show the actual content of any articles on foxnews.com

[stephenhawk8054]

Can you describe the steps to reproduce in more details? I accessed https://www.foxnews.com/ already, what should I do next? Which exact article should I click next?

Also, which country are you when accessing the sites?

[jsegaert]

The main page https://www.foxnews.com/ works fine, but specific articles have the issue, e.g.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/dana-carveys-son-dexs-official-cause-of-death-determined

In case it matters:

• Issue happens both on Windows 10 & Android, both are using the Firefox browser.
• I have all other extensions disabled (Privacy Badger)
• I'm in the USA
• Default set-up. I have some custom blocked elements for www.tvguide.com

@jsegaert Can you test these filters?

foxnews.com##+js(set, Taplytics, {})
foxnews.com##+js(set, Taplytics.featureFlagEnabled, noopFunc)

Click on uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button > Add the filter(s) in "My filters" pane > ✓ Apply changes > Open new tab and test again.

[jsegaert]

Woohoo! Those filters resolve the issue for me. 😄

[stephenhawk8054]

It's CNAME issue so only Firefox is affected.

---

Anyone knows which links of https://www.foxbusiness.com have the same issue? I tried to find one to see if it can have the same solution or not but can't find any.

[jsegaert]

So far, I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on any www.foxbusiness.com sites; both the article contents & conversation sections seem to load fine.

I want to take the time to thank you again for addressing this issue so quickly!
