On mobile Firefox this page loads briefly, and is then replaced by a blank white page. I don't understand why it continues to be so difficult to make a web page

Does the same for me on desktop Firefox. Loads fine in Chrome though.

Because it rendered just fine for me in Microsoft Edge. Seriously, when it renders fine in one browser but not in another, what's a web page builder to do? Especially when they're sitting atop of a content management system which in turn are sitting atop of mountains of web frameworks?

This has been the problem of web for the past 30 years - the renderer takes an input and produces a rendering of that input. Who knows what result you're going to get?

The page loaded for me, but I got bombarded with modals asking me to disable my ad blocker and accept cookies, so it's unreadable anyway.

I usually resort to archive.is for cases like this, but I've tried that twice on this page and it fails. Oh well, that's the end of my procrastination break.

Stop trying to do weird things, and let the user be in control; that strategy has worked fine since the beginning.

Works fine for me on Firefox for Android, but I assume it's because uBlock Origin is doing its thing.
