    Edge here with Ublock 1.64, effectively blank page for me also, temporarly disable Ublock doesn't solve the problem.

    I don't have NextDNS but at least we are giving a few clues out as to what is causing this :)
    Weird how just disabling ublock does it for me.
    As I don't need the Bitdefender website at the moment, I have ublock enabled again.

    Just curious - but why do you disable uBO instead of creating an exception filter? That's pretty simple using the logger.

    Because I was troubleshooting to find out what was causing it and found for me it was ublock. It is rare that I would go to the Bitdefender web site anyway and if I made an exception for it I would never know it it still got blocked.

    Main page of Bitdefender does not load.
    No uBlock Origin, Edge 137.0.3296.62 and AdGuard for Windows.

    Try adding this to your filters -

    Thank you @stackz
    Yes this filter does work, but in reality I shouldn't have to make adjustments in order to load a security software website.

    uBlock Origin in the Microsoft Store is always “featured.”
    It will probably be available for a longer time than in the Chrome Store.
    That is my hope.

    I had ChatGPT analyze all the links that have Github as a common denominator on this webpage:

    https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/browse.php?search=github

    malwares that are often difficult to block by Osprey.
    I asked to generate rules to block malicious downloads.
    Then I reduced the 3 generated rules to these:

    Code:
    ||github.com/*/*.exe$document
    ||github.com/*/*.zip$document
    ||github.com/*/*.7z$document
    P.S.

    Only option to block these files.

    Those have a lot of false positives, if you actively use GitHub for software development (like me).

    Yes you are right it was an AI warning.
    In this case you need to subscribe to the URLHaus filter list,but unfortunately in MV3 extensions it is very outdated so you need to deal with the “potential danger” in some other way.

    I will deal with this "potential danger" by leaving GitHub alone.

    Eliminate the rules because they are too aggressive.
