When scrolling down in a inc.com article of an particular author, the web page goes blank?

Alright, did a bunch of testing on this.
I was able to reproduce this. If you want, open our Shields panel and enable Block Scripts.
The page should render mostly. It looks like the “infinite scrolling” through articles as you reach the bottom of the page wont function but you’ll at least be able to read the whole article.

Long story short - there’s a script baked into the page that’s monitoring a certain cookie (probably). If the cookie is blocked, the site “unmounts” (stops rendering). Real slimy move imo. When you block that script the page (or at least the article you’re trying to view) loads.

Its also worth mentioning that this does not happen in the Beta build. The site works as intended with default protections enabled. We’ll be releasing an update to 0.56.14 in the next day or so and there’s a good chance this issue will get fixed for free along with the update.

Hope this helps!
