@shoop possibly. But thankfully, it is localized to my device

@alexbrooklyn I wish

@Fast-Nop unfortunately, Medium is special compared to the rest of Internet because it has a FUCKING desire to piss off its users by showing that error page. Ads are not the primary concern here

@asgs uBlock Origin doesn't just target ads if you subscribe to some more filter lists. It also blocks a whole lot of other annoyances.

@Fast-Nop can it also prevent such pages from getting rendered? Thank you, I didn't know that

@LostEth0 I suspected that, too. But "500" is such a misused terminology
Thanks to @cg-cnu for the awesome write-up on Medium: https://medium.com/@sreenivas/...
When you look for a strongly opinionated article about JavaScript but you get a JavaScript framework instead..
Load a medium post. Wait for the entire junk to download. Or stop the loading if you just want to read the text content
But Medium has other ideas. Hook to the cancel event, show a useless page which only has the reload link. And why would it trigger the HTTP 500 status code to be sent? 🤔
