winaero.com flashes 0.5 sec then blank (black/white) page in Brave & Firefox – fixed by disabling free AdBlock

On Windows 11 (i7/32 GB), https://winaero.com/ loads for ~0.5 seconds then goes completely blank (black in dark theme, white in light). No selection box appears when attempted. Happens in both Brave and Firefox when the free AdBlock extension is enabled.

Turning AdBlock completely off fixes it instantly. The site works fine in Chrome.

Best permanent fix: whitelist winaero.com in AdBlock settings (or switch to uBlock Origin).

Has anyone else hit this? AdBlock seems to be blocking a resource the site needs.

ublock origin no longer working on hulu watching via desktop browser

i watch hulu (i have the lowest tiered plan w/ads...."free" with t mobile) via my browser thats streamed to tv via hdmi. worked great for years with brave + ublock origin. now content plays but it'll randomly exit the content back to the main hulu page. then when i resume, it doesn't remember where i left off in the program.

anyone experiencing this?

Ad Blocker for Twitch on Brave Browser

I was using Adguard Extra on Twitch with Brave browser and it's worked for ages. April came around and I suddenly started seeing ads again for the first time in years. Can anyone recommend a Brave/Chrome extension from the Chrome extension store that still blocks ads on Twitch?

Can an adblocker cause YouTube comments you make to disappear unless you log into YouTube?

I am asking this because here recently a lot of my comments that I have made on different videos have vanished unless I log in. However, they still appear regardless on login on my channel.

I have been looking into what is causing this issue and thought I would ask this question on here.

I use Ublock on my browser and I just thought I’d ask if it may be the culprit.

I built an open source browser extension for Pi-hole (stats, multiple instances, domain management, and more)

Trying to Build the Lightest Ad Blocker Chrome Extension

Hi everyone,

I’m currently learning and experimenting with building Chrome extensions, and this is one of my first projects.

The main goal is simple: create an ad blocker that is as lightweight as possible — no heavy background scripts, no unnecessary features, just fast and clean browsing.

I’m also testing a small English support feature to help users improve their English while browsing websites.

This project is still a work in progress, and I’m building it mainly to learn and explore how far I can optimize performance in a browser extension.

If you’re interested, you can check it out here:

👉 View on GitHub

👉 View on chromewebstore

I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas. Thanks!
