Description of the issue:
Long story short, I got directed to a website that is preventing any access due to the ad block. I am not sure how many places are activating things like this but I wanted to let you guys know that there is something that’s preventing your browser from accessing content unless we turn off protections like ad blockers.
Exact URL of the website in question:

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no)
I think so.
Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off?
Yes, once I shut it off it was able to load.
Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no):
I did not toy with it since everything is pretty much basic. It just seems like they have completely prevented anything that is an ad block
Does the site work as expected when using Chrome?
I don’t have chrome on this phone and wasn’t going to install it to make sure. However since it loads and seems to work perfectly if I have the ad blocker off, I’m going to guess everything would be fine on chrome
