Description

Description from a user:
"The page will only scroll a few post before then blocking everything this is a recent issue and after disabling ghostery the page works fine, this is with using ublock origin as well. Issue is isolated to some recent change perhaps with ghostery which i'd love to keep but this site is a daily for me."

Same problem here - I noticed it started last week. Pausing Ghostery resolves the issue. I also have Adblock+, uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger, and disabling any of those does not resolve the issue.

When scrolling down the page you can see the scroll bar gets smaller as it loads content, and sometimes if you scroll quickly you can see a post flash onto the screen briefly before disappearing.

Hi @Philomorph ,

We're really sorry because we couldn't deliver a hot-fix at this time. We've already identified the problem and this is planned to be fixed in next release cycle as a fix is merged on our extension repository. We're actively monitoring incoming issue reports regarding Instagram and Facebook.

refs ghostery/ghostery-extension#2119

As soon as the next version (v10.4.18) releases on most extension stores (Chrome Web Store, Firefox AMO, and more), we'll ask users to upgrade.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for being a part of Ghostery community! I hope you have a great day.

Best Regards
