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.

### Prerequisites
- [X] This is not a support issue or a question
- [X] I pe… rformed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
- Your issue may already be reported.
- [X] I tried to reproduce the issue when...
- [X] uBlock Origin is the only extension
- [X] uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
- [X] using a new, unmodified browser profile
- [X] I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
### 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
