   Cookie question (I think) - site not wor   
   08 Jul 20 22:12:07   
   
   So there's a bill payment site I used recently, you had to fill in your "ID   
   no" or whatever, then select the amounts with checkboxes when they showed up,   
   then it showed a message saying "Pay by netbanking" etc., then OK, then,   
   presumably payment. Well,    
   after "OK", it's giving some weird error. That was on the BRAVE browser -   
   which has some "ad tracker/blocker"-type stuff in it. After that, at my wit's   
   end, I just *happened* to try the site on Firefox, and it worked fine!! BOTH   
   browsers had Private    
   Browsing enabled, but Firefox, AFAIK, doesn't have this "ad blocking" stuff   
   there. I'd like to know wtf is going on? What is this "ad blocker" stuff (I'm   
   certain that's the culprit, if not, I'd love to know what), and how come it   
   differs from browser and    
   browser, and is indeed BREAKING a site on one?   
      
      
   Thanks.
