When opening /admin/plugins the plugin list/settings do not show. Only after a hard refresh, the plugin page loads correctly.

I’ve seen something similar happening with the adplugin + an adblocker. Is this one of those situations?
If you do have the adplugin, does the same happen in an incognito browser?

Not seeing it on Firefox and Chrome.

We’re 1 commit behind but it shouldn’t make a difference.
I had an Adblocker on both.

Behavior is the same in incognito, also had adblocker whitelisted for my own domains anyway but was worth a shot. Does not happen on mobile btw, just desktop.
Checking the console:
Uncaught Error: There is no route named adminPlugins.houseAds
When I refresh, the console error pops up after loading the page for a while, but no settings will be loaded. On hard refresh the page loads fine. After a hard refresh, a normal refresh will result in not being able to load the page again.

This does sound like the adplugin + adblocker issue. Is there some way you can test this in a clean browser with no adblocker?

I disabled the plugin and it works perfectly now.. strange that even whitelisting (aka disabling adblocker for a domain) did not help.
After enabling the adblocker again, it still works as expected.. will see how it goes.

I was going to suggest disabling, but I saw you’d already tried [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and thought you’d need to uninstall it (which seemed a touch too far this early in the debugging 🙂). It’s good to know that disabling is useful for fault-finding. 👍
I am unsure why whitelisting hasn’t worked, as that’s another tip we’d offer as a workaround. 🤔

I ruled out adblocker because of the safemode where it still didn’t work indeed. Maybe it was a bug in the adblocker 😕
But on another note I just did a test to see what I should see when [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) is enabled now that the issue is solved, /plugins/ does not load in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) at all, even with adblocker disabled 😆 - so giving the exact same result as my screenshot above. Refreshing to exit [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) works and plugins load instantly.

Ha. 🙂 Yes, that does make a lot of sense. I’ve clearly not had enough cups of tea this morning. 🙂
