calling it the feminine diminutive "corvette" implies the existence of some larger, more masculine "corvus," yes, a great metallic bird of chrome and steel, capable of tool use and construction, its gargantuan wingspan casting a silhouette of the chevrolet logo as it drops a ford f-150 from 1000 feet onto a paved highway to more easily feed on its shattered entrails,

I've never had uBlock just refuse to load a news site before.

Then I tried to go to huffpost.com, and no matter what URL I put into my browser, it tries to send my request through to guce.advertising.com/collectiIdentifiers before loading anything else.
