Going to post this here. Yesterday and a large part of today my internet was garbage. YouTube and a lot of the sites I frequently visit were either completely white, black, or blown up to 7000 times the size with no way of fixing anything. Not all of them though for some mysterious reason. Numerous articles and posts with helpful "tips" (that took a long time to even read properly) did nothing. I discovered everything was okay if I switched to Chrome (but I don't want to use that anymore) ...

Working on something, I needed to look up some info on Saints, reading on Wikipedia, and I see there's a patron Saint of the internet!

Maybe divine intervention or just me stopping being retarded, I turned off AdBlocker and the sites work again..
Anyways. If you have problems with your internet or anything online, maybe try calling out to Saint Acutis next time.​

This is honestly fascinating, thank you for sharing. Wonder if he'd wanna help me learn java faster.

Sidenote, Brave browser works pretty well right out of the box. And I've had similar issues you describe if the ad filter lists are outdated or if two extensions conflict with each other (for example, a twitch specific ad blocker I used to use alongside uBlock would break sites like youtube completely, the dev basically abandoned it so when something updated they didn't update their extension), so you might wanna try uninstalling and reinstalling them.
