Can I whitelist a site that is blocked by the "Block Dangerous and Deceptive Content" setting?

The only way that I can complete login via my cable subscriber to MSNBC full episodes is by disabling the "Block Dangerous and Deceptive Content" setting. For obvious reasons, I would like to keep this setting checked. Is there a way I can whitelist a particular site? Clicking on the security icons in the address bar doesn't seem to provide an option.

Unfortunately, this feature doesn't have site-by-site exceptions -- normally when you encounter it, there's a link to just go ahead with the request. It sounds as though the request in this case is made in the background so you don't get a visible page to make an exception.

Do you think a volunteer could replicate this error without having a real login, i.e., by entering fake information?

I think you would need a cable login to see how it fails-it does load very slowly, but then won't let you complete the login. It just reverts to the "please log in" mode. And I'm not using any other security software, and my firewall is off (I'm using os x El Capitan, if that makes any difference).

Are you talking about your ISP?

Unplug the router and anything else you are using for 20 seconds. This will cause the equipment to reboot.
