by default, somehow ghostery messes up the comment link

[mattip]

I just enabled comments on pypy.org/blog, which is using utterences (thanks). It turns out the ghostery firefox plugin by default will block the cross-site request to github.com. Worse, the comment section shows a "3 comments" link, but it is to another repo. To reproduce:

• install the ghostery plugin in firefox
• open a private browsing window (so cookies are not available)
• go to https://www.pypy.org/posts/2021/03/pypys-blog-has-moved.html, scroll to the bottom
• The link is to Randomly saving Facebook home page edgarjs/instachrome#12, not PyPy's blog has moved | PyPy pypy/pypy.org#8

I can "fix" this by telling ghostery to trust pypy.org. Should there be an error message "cannot pull comments, check your site blockers" when the github api request fails?

I have met the same question, I also think there should be a notice about the anti track.
