Blank Window in site

I am using GB News as an example. I have tried all potential solutions to no avail. Instead of an image or video this. I am sorry if this is repeating itself, my mind is blank.

I loaded the exact same site and article with the same blank box. On my system Ublock is preventing the content load.

In short, the most likely reason would be a browser extension.

Same on my system with Firefox and UBlock.
In edge with no extensions it shows ads in that space before showing the video.

I loaded the exact same site and article too. I use a hosts file rather than a browser extension. In my case the video does eventually play. But before it starts it tries to play one or more adverts. They're blank though, the content is blocked by the hosts file. But at least it thinks it's playing the ads and starts the video once they're done.



This is the same sit with all blocks removed.

Mine is the same, i am using ad-blockers also.

I use Firefox in combination with AdGuard and I have the same result. No video viewable. If I disable the blocking just for this site, I can see the video. On my screen, this video has no advertisement.

If I enable blocking again, but switch off the 'Basic' (English) filter, the video becomes visible as well. That filter is based on the Easylist filter, which you can find here (clicking the link opens a text file with all filter terms in it). In that file I found this string: gbnews.com##.video-inbody
which to me seems to be the reason the video is blocked. I found two more strings that have to do with gbnews.com.

Simplest cure would be: make an exception in your ad-blocker for gbnews,com.
