It’s looking like this is a block put in place by employer’s IT departments for some reason. The only common factor I can find is that everyone reporting it is at work when it happens. And Dr. Matt’s screenshot showed no errors in the Javascript code, so that can’t be it.

Unless someone can find a way I can duplicate this outside of their work environment, there’s nothing I can really do. I guess you could try getting in touch with whoever’s running the IT dept and see if there’s something that changed recently. I know these employer’s blocking systems often rely on the same black lists for this kind of stuff, which would also explain why it appeared for several people around the same time.

The thing is, here at work, nothing has changed IRT to the web filters lately, AFAIK; all social media sites (Twitter, FB, etc.), most streaming video sites (with probably the exception of YouTube), and most ad servers have been blocked for at least 2-3 years.
