Is IndieHackers broken this recently when using ad blockers?
I can't see top/newest/week ... posts for example.

I'm not entirely sure when this started but I don't think more than a week ago.
Anyone else has these issues?

It's especially sad that all the blocked resources seem to belong to tracking/analytics and not functionality :/

    I have started facing the same issue on Firefox since 26th January.

    What ad blocker are you using? Some of them are super aggressive and will even go so far as to erase any HTML elements with the letters "ad" in their class or ID names. That could be the culprit here.

    It looks like it's blocking Amplitude, too, which is the library I use to collect metrics. I think that should be okay to block without breaking the site, but it's possible that it's not and that's the culprit. If so, I should be able to work around it pretty easily.

      I'm using uBlock.
      I also tested to allow Amplitude and this restored website functionality.
