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

Same Result. Screenshot showing UBlock into

[stephenhawk8054]

Don't change any settings inside uBO

a new browser profile with only uBO and its default settings.

[GordFather]

I never changed any setting in uBO. I don't know how so it should still be default.

[stephenhawk8054]

I see that you are having bookmarks in your screenshot which should not happen with a new browser profile:

---

You are also enabling advanced settings inside uBO and using custom rules

filterset (user): [array of 1 redacted]
trustedset:
 added: [array of 9 redacted]
switchRuleset:
 added: [array of 3 redacted]
hostRuleset:
 added: [array of 6 redacted]
userSettings:
 advancedUserEnabled: true
 cloudStorageEnabled: true
 collapseBlocked: false

---

Create a new profile like this instruction: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824

DON'T login or sync anything in the new profile. Just install uBO on that profile and test again.

Ok it loads the old style MSN. Its format has changed. Do you know how I can move back to the old style ( I don't like the new one )

Old Style:

New Style Site

[stephenhawk8054]

I don't know. The issue here is the page being blank. Please just focus to solve that.

In your old profile, can you reset uBO to default settings: Click uBO icon > ⚙ Dashboard button -> Go to "Settings" tab -> Scroll down and click on "Reset to default settings" then test again.

[GordFather]

Still shows up blank after reseting to defaults

[stephenhawk8054]

In your old profile, can you open new tab > reproduce the issue and on that page > click on uBO icon > 💬 Report button > scroll to the bottom > click on Troubleshooting Information and copy paste it here?

Not sure what happened. All of a sudden it is loading properly - I think it may have gotten screwed up on MSN Login information. I haven't use the logon to MSN for a long time because it wasn't retaining my credentials.

Thank you for your time
