Slashdot.org - impossible to load the site

Hello,
I've been reading Slashdot.org from many years ago with Nextdns without problems, but from a couple days ago I got this annoying warning (see the screen shots).
I switch off the nextdns, but the website is unreadable, full of ads.

Tested Mullvad browser in default settings and no warning screen.

Is there any tweak I need to change in my settings to read as usual the slashdot website?.

If you can share your experiences are very welcome.

Thanks in advance

      I'm not tech savvy, could you give me a hint where can I find the issue?.
      There's no way to put in whitelist the html-load.com domain.

      Yes you can. I've been going to that website daily for almost 3 decades and recently had to add html-load.com to the Allow list in NextDNS. You may also have to exempt the same domain name with any browser-based ad blocker (like AdGuard).

      Just add it to your Allow List like below.  You may need to close and reopen your web browser afterwards to force another DNS lookup.

    Well... the site it's loading properly now, the Ads are overwhelming appeared in all the site, fine tuning between the fsdn.com and the *.cloudfront.net with Noscript makes the differences loading properly all the website or with some minor defects.
    Tried to switch on/off several filters (Blocklist) but doesn't work.
    Maybe for that site solution: Mullvad browser or uBlock Origin addon in my Firefox.

    Thanks for your time and help.

    You’re welcome. I’m continuing to get more errors because I use an ad blocker.  As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been visiting this website daily for almost 3 decades, but I may start getting my tech news elsewhere. Most of the stuff is a few days old by the time it lands on Slashdot, so there’s a good chance I’ve already read it anyway.

    FYI, the cloudfront domain on your image is AWS where this site is hosted.  I’m starting to see more and more of these getting flagged lately.

    Do you have Fanboy annoyance list active?   Just wondering cause when I try and access that site that is what it's blocked under.
