This is the result of some anti-blocking measures they took several days ago. However, the Drudge site will work just fine (for now) if users simply block all scripts.

That gives the added benefit of also blocking spying by google scripts there -- which are otherwise very unfortunately allowed by Brave.

Btw, Drudge has something like 1 billion pageviews per month ( http://www.intermarkets.net/advertiser-solutions/portfolio/drudge-report/ )

P.S. uBO blocks there by keying on the ADONIS components of the new scheme. This page shows a list of somewhat similarly affected sites: uBlockOrigin/uAssets@91d390d

But note that uBO is using a script injection ability which I'm guessing that ABP doesn't have.

@privatzee do you know the specific domains or google script sources that we should be blocking? we use upstream lists for blocking but are happy to add more to them.

I notice that at Drudge Report, there's several ads showing. AND, PS, just found the ads on Drdge Report could axed by using the Site Shield settings to eliminate scripts.

Having trouble finding any ads on that site 😓
Can not reproduce 👎

Unable to reproduce also- may have been fixed by adblock updates. Let's close for now and re-open if the issue comes back 😄
