Pages on "medium.com" website turn blank

Post by tellu-white » 2026-07-28, 14:29

Pages on "medium.com" website turn blank after a few seconds if you scroll to the bottom of the page. The following message appears there (before the page goes blank):

"Could not connect to the reCAPTCHA service. Please check your internet connection and reload."

I’ve noticed that if I use add-on "Intercept & Modify HTTP Response" with a filter that removes the word "recaptcha" from all pages on "medium.com", the pages no longer go blank (but certain content also fails to load - see the screenshots below).

Example URL:

https://alicemoretti.medium.com/fetch-api-async-await-in-a-few-bites-6b4f19f7db9e

Filter:

Code: Select all

[`/medium.com/`, `/.*/`, [`/recaptcha/gi`, ``]]

I was able to replicate the page turning blank on my end, but after waiting for maybe 30 seconds to a minute longer the page rendered again and I was able to read the article. I do not have "Intercept & Modify HTTP Response" installed at all.

It loads everything really fast for me, but it keeps on loading the site for a very long time. If I press Stop it keeps showing everything, but if I wait until it finishes loading, it turns blank. Waited 2 minutes on blank page and it didn't show content again.

F12 error console:

Code: Select all

None of the “sha512” hashes in the integrity attribute match the content of the subresource.
