Thanks for reporting @donfuxx . I will take a look to this issue. I was able to reproduce it on my device too (as you already pointed out), and seems like we should be blocking it.

Thanks, I took a look to the task created when we added that domain into our whitelist, and it seems the site scroll was broken. We will revisit if that’s still needed.

However, there’s nothing else we can do, and that list gets updated automatically by our privacy team. So we can close this issue. Thanks!
