CNN blocks ad-blockers (seemingly): > Browser Blocked > We apologize, but your web browser is configured in such a way that it is preventing this site from implementing required components that protect your privacy and allow you to view and change your privacy settings. This functionality is required for privacy legislation in your region. > We recommend you use a different browser or disable the “EasyList Cookie” filter from your “Content Filtering” settings (found under “Settings” -> “Shields” in the Brave Browser). UPDATE: The blocking is triggered by the "I don't care about cookies" browser extension (Firefox); disabling the extension on the site gets me past the block. Utterly stupid move on CNN's part.

Using uBlock Origin [on Firefox Win10] and didn't have any problems.

  Exact same for me... didn't notice anything strange. I also erase cookies when I close the browser, might also perhaps have an impact depending on previous visits to CNN.

Maybe try the "lite" version ... substitute "lite" for "www" i.e.: https://lite.cnn.com/2024/01/15/us/antique-dress-maine-encrypted-message-cec/index.html https://lite.cnn.com/2024/01/15/us/antique-dress-maine-encry...

I block ads, don’t really mind when a site doesn’t feel like serving me as a result. I’m intentionally not accepting their ads-for-content trade and asking what they’ll send for nothing. If that’s nothing, fair enough. I am surprised nowadays, given how bad the trade has gotten, that people are interested in discussing their content.

Right, I got the same message when accessing the page... so I just clicked back and came to the comments. I don't care enough to read the article to disable my security mechanisms, there's plenty of alternative content :)

> I don't care about cookies That extension was bought by Avast. There's a community fork called "I still don't care about cookies" available for Firefox and Chrome.
