Pages Won't Load with an Ad Blocker On

Bangkok Punters doesn't use ad networks or sell data about readers. Sponsors are shown by the site itself and labeled. Blockers work from shared lists, though, and a broad rule can catch an ordinary part of a page: a menu, a map, the Google sign-in button or the code a page needs to load.

The fix is to switch your blocker off for this site only. The steps below are for current versions; menu names vary a little between versions and devices.

uBlock Origin

1. 1Step 1: Click the uBlock Origin icon in your browser's toolbar.
2. 2Step 2: Click the large power button so it turns gray: that turns it off for this site only.
3. 3Step 3: Reload the page.

AdBlock and Adblock Plus

1. 1Step 1: Click the AdBlock or Adblock Plus icon in the toolbar.
2. 2Step 2: Choose the option to pause or stop blocking on this site (AdBlock), or switch off blocking on this website (Adblock Plus).
3. 3Step 3: Reload the page.

AdGuard

1. 1Step 1: Click the AdGuard icon in the toolbar, or open the AdGuard app.
2. 2Step 2: Switch off protection for this website, or add the site to the allowlist.
3. 3Step 3: Reload the page.

Brave Shields

1. 1Step 1: Click the Brave (lion) icon at the right of the address bar.
2. 2Step 2: Turn Shields off for this site. The page reloads by itself.

Safari Content Blockers

1. 1Step 1: On a Mac: choose Safari → Settings for this website (or right-click the address bar) and untick Enable content blockers. You can also use View → Reload Without Content Blockers.
2. 2Step 2: On iPhone or iPad: tap the page menu at the left of the address bar, then Website Settings, and turn off Use Content Blockers.
3. 3Step 3: Reload the page.

Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection

1. 1Step 1: Click the shield icon at the left of the address bar.
2. 2Step 2: Switch Enhanced Tracking Protection off for this site. The page reloads.

Still Not Working?

Try a private window with extensions off, or another browser. If the page works without your blocker, create a ticket naming the blocker and the page address, so we can find the rule it trips.
