Clown world continues...

Well, that's... really helpful. Not.

Everything on my browser (Vivaldi for Linux) was dead when I stumbled out of bed this afternoon (!)... I saw a link for a news item on cloudFlare, clicked it, and... nothing happened. It turned out that DoubleClick had been blocked on two blocklists of UBlock Origin and once I clicked "Proceed"... not a single page would reload, and I had to turn UB off in order to resume normal browsing.

One would have thought that CloudFlare was a reliable and trustworthy news source, as they were discussing an aspect of their own business (safeguarding users under HTTP/2), so I am asking myself why they ended up being blocked on a famous IP block extension?

The article was: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/the-net/rapid-reset-ddos/?utm_medium=native&utm_source=dv360&utm_campaign=ao-fy-bnd-apac-umbrella-ge-ge-prospecting-thought_leadership&utm_content=rapid-reset-ddos&adid=583507058&advid=10214551&cid=31229810&crid=208928211&pid=391935760&sid=9413436&dclid=CPza-eeE2IcDFSmUrAIdpe4AdQ

Anyone else had this?

Within a few weeks of the discovered vulnerability, attackers exploited it to launch hundreds of record-breaking attacks.
