    I haven’t been getting many ads, but I have been having trouble with webpages that break themselves when an ad element doesn’t load on the page. Urban dictionary comes to mind. Would love to hear if someone has a workaround for that

      urban dictionary is ridiculously badly programmed

      Until last year there was a major XSS vulnerability where anyone could write a definition that ran arbitrary JavaScript in the user’s browser upon loading

      Definitions like this could show up in random search results

      Use Wiktionary instead, it’s better anyway. 😉

      Not seeing them for uBlockOrigin Lite and I just checked the site expecting a break. What blocker on what device?
