    That is surprising. The next surprise came when it doesn't work the same on my browser (chrome). uBlock Origin ver. 1.16.8 -- is that the same as yours?

        AdBlockPlus blocked 196 elements on the page. The css and js downloads were also blocked because it was marked as malware. Must use the same list of malware domains as uBlock. My guess is that they are getting their list from http://www.malwaredomains.com Here's a link to a recent list: https://mirror.cedia.org.ec/malwaredomains/20180607.txt Looks like Breitbart were included in the list by https://www.spamhaus.org Can't figure out how to query their list, but Breitbart is listed in there somewhere. Why? Who knows. Would be nice to have at least an explanation as to why its there. It was recently added so maybe Breitbart can go through the blocklist removal process.
