Hey @paulo.teixeira ! Welcome to the community
Thank you so much for catching these type of incidents! If you change the Shield option Trackers and ads blocked
to Allow all trackers and ads
the site continues to work as intended; but I will look into this issue

Please note that Adjust is a tracking tool, disabling or lowering users’ tracking protection should not be recommended unless explicitly wanted by the users themselves.
Adjust is a part of Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list, and for a good reason.

- Your issue may already be reported.

### URL(s) where the issue occurs
Any link with the domain name adjust.
`https://www.adjust.com/`
You can test is here: `https://codepen.io/ThibaultJanBeyer/pen/gOmxZvp`
### Describe the issue
Well. Adjust is in the blocked list. So even a link to the website like that:
```
<a href="https://www.adjust.com/">Adjust</a>
```
Is blocked when the user clicks on it.
I believe that this is faulty. Since adjust is a click tracking tool. We use adjust to wrap our links, something like this `https://app.adjust.com/<our-code>?redirect=https://<some-website>`. That gives us anonymous metrics on how many times the link was clicked, not even personal info on the user or something.
Seems heavy to me that an adblocker blocks harmless URLs even on a user-initiated action like a click on an A tag.

Interesting, thank you for the heads up !
I was not aware of the purpose Adjust. Makes sense now why our Shields system blocked the entire site
