Today when I tried to access Drudge Report I got the following message:

Something interfered with this website loading

This could be a temporary problem with your network, or due to your adblocker

Try: 

   Check your internet connection and reload the page
   If you are using an adblocker disable it by clicking on the adblock icon in your browser toolbar

I tried accessing Drudge Report via Internet Explorer and it came right up. Yesterday I had no problem accessing Drudge Report via Firefox. I removed my adblocker and followed suggested courses of action on Firefox help, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

It would be nice to know which help you tried so that we do not repeat things as per
"and followed suggested courses of action on Firefox"

Will ask that you please make sure your Flash is updated to version 26.0.0.137 released this date  : https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download.

Please confirm that you have installed this date released Windows 10 Update (KB4025342) and if not please try to download/install it.

Not sure what video card using but AMD released yesterday Version 17.7.1 and think Nvidia was a week ago. Please update to current releases and then report back if issue still continues.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I tried all the steps outlined in help. Windows 10 is up to date, Adobe is up to date, I reloaded Firefox, As I said it was working fine on July 10th; the next morning it wasn't.

That is not a Firefox error page. It appears to be generated by an anti-adblock script used by the site.

Do you use Adblock Plus? In one thread someone suggested switching to uBlock Origin but I don't know if that will make any difference with the site as of today.

I disabled AdBlocker more than a month ago.

I use PCMatic. Perhaps they have instituted some form of block against it.
