I'm trying to use ecosia but something is blocking their ads on the browser. - Whitelisted it on Ublock Origin - Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection to ecosia's url

I tried disabling a lot of privacy settings on about:config but it didn't solve. My add-ons that could affect something is Ublock Origin and User-Agent Switcher and Manager (i disabled this second and didn't solve either) What should i do?

What security software do you have?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.

Does it still happen in a new profile (without signing into sync account)? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.

I just refreshed but nothing. Ublock and ETP are still disabled.

Be sure not to install any extensions when testing in a new profile. Extensions need to be fully disabled from about:addons to rule them out and not just toggled from the toolbar.

Try changing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to "Off" or "Max Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".
