Description

This problem is happening to me for two weeks or so. I'm using Microsoft Edge 125.0.2535.92.

I've verified that the problem is caused by "uBlock filters – Ads" filters, when I disable that list, Twitter starts to load pages normally. Disabling other extensions does not affect this in any way.

Also it seems the same issue was reported for Brave browser in their community: https://community.brave.com/t/shield-and-ublock-breaking-twitter-on-desktop-brave/548199

Other extensions used

• Browsec VPN
• Tampermonkey
• Requestly

unable to reproduce

A logged in account is obviously needed.

If there's anything I can try to test, let me know.

Test again in a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings

Indeed, creating a new profile solves the problem, here's debug info from it:

Is there anything I can do to fix or analyze the problem in my current profile?

[stephenhawk8054]

In your old profile, can you go to chrome://extensions page (type in URL bar) and screenshot it here?

[binarymaster]

Hey! It looks like I found that the guilty extension is Requestly 24.5.8 -- I'm pretty sure I have already tried disabling it, but now the behavior is clear - enabling it reproduces the problem, and disabling it makes the problem go away.

Note that I have all HTTP filters disabled in that extension.

Also, installing Requestly in the new browser profile 2 does not introduce the problem... probably because the extension version is different there -- it's 24.5.27 (MV3).

So I conclude that the problem is conflicting extension, specifically Requestly version 24.5.8 in my case. Let me know if you want to analyze the problem deeper.

Finally, updating Requestly extension in the main browser profile solved the issue. Thank you for suggestions and your patience.
