Awful experience - unusable on Brave

No idea where you found that. But, trying to find settings, now the Brave shield is down on every new tab. This is not making me want to try this host. Just more problems.

I don’t have a clue what happened and now I’m troubleshooting/searching a new problem.

I’ll take you through the steps with screenshots. first open the add-ons menu in brave:


You can either pin DuckDuckGo to the top bar, or just click it here

That then gives you the popup menu:


Here you can turn off protection on the site.

Or you can open the settings (top right gear icon) and unprotected sites is at the bottom of the page where you can add dash.infinityfree.com

Obviously that is your choice, but the problem is the duckduckgo plugin, not infinity free in this case.

Fair enough. I followed those instructions and I believe I understand it (enough). But, I have what is probably a dumb question: so, the ‘dash’ in front of the url - that’s because it’s the ‘dashboard’ settings for the host account or?

Anyway, it’s working now - I added the two links - the one with ‘dash’ and the general website.

So, I should be good to go to use IF has my host now (if I want)? Thanks for all your help, guys. Sorry to get so frustrated but it seems like a weird problem?
I guess you said it was blocking ‘html-load.com’ or something? But, that duckduckgo extension didn’t block other ‘free host’ sites I found.
What is going on there?

You’re essentially correct- it’s the dashboard where you can see and manage all of your hosting accounts (you can have up to three).

Not every free hosting company uses that service. And even others who do might not use it in the exact same way. It’s basically a multi-CDN service, which InfinityFree uses as part of their anti-adblock techniques.

Ah, okay, I see. Learn something new every day. Thanks so much everyone for helping!

Also, to Edward and Dan, who replied really quickly and therefore, I didn’t even have to wait to figure out these things, thanks!!! :slightly_smiling_face:
