Economist article links fail

Some months back when I get gmail from the Economist and try to go to an article the gmail links to I get this: Our apologies. An error seems to have occurred. The article actually appears very briefly but then gets overwritten by this error message. I am using an up to date Windows 10 PC.

When I go to Microsoft Edge this behavior does not occur. In Firefox I have tried clearing the data and cache but to no avail.

Any thoughts on dealing with this? I do not want to go through many heroic steps to fix this.

I don't quite understand. Doesn't Ghostery take the place of my uBlock Origin and doesn't Malwarebytes try to find malware problems in sites? Or does Ghostery do both adblocking and malware blocking?

Looks like Malware is trying to copy Ghostery and doing a bad job. The site still worked for me, but I would recommend Ghostery over Malware. Ghost has been doing this sort of thing far longer than Malware IMHO. You can see the detail provided by Ghost that Malware is lacking. Jones out.

Mark it as resolved and have a nice day.

Malware is the new kid on the block when it comes to this. IMHO... drop Malware and run Ublock and Ghostery or just run Ublock. These 2 give you more granular options to tweak. You see Malware has few options to change.

OK, I will keep Malwarebytes for virus protection and such. I'll rely on Ublock and Windows Defender otherwise. Thanks again.
