I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I wonder if "oh I'm using some Nokia dumb phone" would have gotten them to stop

What’s going on with report.error-report.com? Will ad blockers be able to deal with it?
This is an "ad recovery" service by Ad-Shield https://www.ad-shield.io/
They are basically an anti ad block.
DNS Based blockers can't get pass it. Browser based ones can.
Basically, they have a few domains like error-report.com, html-load.com, content-load.com
Which sounds like important domains But it's their domains, and they use these to serve ads However, blocking it will trigger their script to send you to the error-report website, blaming your ad blocker for "breaking" the website because it could not load "important" scripts from those domains and asking you to disable it to "fix" it
When in reality, the webpage actually works fine 100%, all content is loaded properly, but then their anti ad block kicks in, deletes all CSS, throws an error and tells you to disable your ad blocker.
You will need a browser extension based ad blocker to diffuse their script.
