When Websites don't Work Article for: Everyone
Difficulty: moderate Importance: Useful for most people ![]() There are two common sources of conflict:
I'll explain two common tools first, then examine a few browsers and show you how to disable your privacy and ad blocking for each.
Adblock Plus![]() If you click on the Adblock Plus icon on the top right of your toolbar, you can click the menu item Block ads on: to disable it on that site. You must refresh the page so it can reload it with the advertisements enabled. This will keep Adblock Plus disabled on that site unless you turn it back on.
Privacy BadgerJust click on the Privacy badger icon in the toolbar and choose Disable Privacy Badger for This Site. It will automatically reload the page.

Solving issue with particular browsersCliqz has an excellent built-in Ad-blocker and anti-tracker. Just click on the Cliqz icon in the address bar and turn off those options for that site. You will need to reload the site after turning them off for that domain.

![]() If that doesn't work. The next thing to try is adjusting the site settings inside the browser. Click on the information icon to the left of the address bar and select permissions.

![]() Here you'll see the permissions that might affect this site. Clear the block pop-ups option.
![]() 
Hopefully, you are using Privacy badger and Adblock Plus with Firefox. The browser website controls are in the address bar just like on Cliqz.

![]() From the information icon in the address bar (1) you can disable blocking for this site (2). You might also need to click on the permissions (3) and disable cookie blocking and Pop-up blocking.
As with Firefox, you should be using an ad blocker and privacy badger. If the site doesn't work after turning those off, then try accessing the site settings from the address bar.

![]() From there you might need to turn off pop-up blocking and third party tracking or ads.

Like Cliqz, Brave has its own built-in ad blocker and anti-tracker which you access from the Brave icon.

![]() There, all the controls are available on one page and you can disable them for that site with a single click or you can try to disable some of the protection but not all of them.
![]() 
Try a different browserFinally, the next thing to try is another browser. Choose one based on another system. If you are using Firefox or Cliqz, then try using Brave. If you are using Brave or Vivaldi (or even Chrome) choose Cliqz or Firefox.
