New York Times live pages won't load
Maybe sometime in the past week or so, I began noticing an issue on the New York Times website. I am able to load most articles there normally, but some, marked with a 'live' button for certain types of rapidly updated topics (e.g. election day vote updates or the like) won't load. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/11/02/us/election-news?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-elections-2020®ion=TOP_BANNER&context=election_recirc This is an example of such a page. I click them and just get white space. I normally use a private browser tab for all webpages but it still doesn't load if I use the normal page rather than an in-private window. I would appreciate any help. Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help people help me. I may need to be walked through some suggestions. I am using version 94 on Linux Mint as of today, and up until today was using whatever the immediately previous version available for Mint was. The described behavior happened on both versions, if that is relevant.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I tried the blocking content suggestions and those seemed to have no effect. I then moved on to troubleshooting mode and I am actually not entirely sure what I did, but whatever it was, trying troubleshooting mode had the ultimate effect of solving the problem I came here to ask about, so thanks!
You appear to have installed quite a few content blocking and privacy related extensions according to the Troubleshooting Information you supplied and that makes it harder to find out which one is causing issues like you experienced. You would normally check its toolbar button if they show a badge with the number of blocked items.
