What setting could cause this to break Mewe?

So when I try to sign in on Mewe.com, nothing happens after entering username and password. On a fresh profile it works fine.
I've whitelisted mewe.com and hcaptcha.net and their related subdomains in nMatrix (props to them, they don't really have any ad servers or trackers to begin with), allowed cookies to be loaded, but the browser console shows this -

Code: Select all

20:33:05.594 Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://hcaptcha.com/checksiteconfig?host=mewe.com&sitekey=884185af-836c-447c-815e-b83f326f569c&sc=1&swa=0. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ does not match ‘https://hcaptcha.com’). 1 (unknown)
What's this mean, and what could be interfering with this? The only similar sounding setting I could think of is 'Cross origin referer policy' in Pale Moon Commander which I've not changed from the default.

CORS has to be set up by mewe properly. They may have forgotten to do so for switching to hCaptcha.
it's not something you can control on the client side as it's an integral part of networking security and header processing to enforce same-origin use of scripting.

But it works fine on a fresh profile with no extensions, that's why I wondered what could be causing it.
