For some reason we're listing strava.com/activities as a tracker pattern. I'll need to look into it further but it may make sense to remove this pattern from the tracker database. Since this tracker is first-party, if you go to Ghostery settings > General Settings > check 'Allow trackers created by site owners', it should stop the redirect blocking.

I can confirm "Allow trackers created by site owners" setting checked doesn't prevent this bug.

Good to know. We'll need to remove this pattern from our end and push an update to the tracker database. In the meantime, you can try two other things. 1) Enable smart blocking (blue light bulb) which should auto-unblock this pattern. 2) In Ghostery menu (top right) > Settings > Global Blocking > search for "Strava" and unblock.

Still reproducable in Ghostery for Chrome version 8.5.0

Workaround is to open Ghostery popup while on editing page and select "Trust on this site" for Strava tracker.
