DNS error in certain website caused by Adblock Plus

Post by RonnyL »

I am getting a DNS error when I am trying to visit www.ratemyprofessors.com using Google Chrome. I spent hours trying to figure out what was causing it as MS Edge had no problem accessing that website.
Google Chrome (in my case has Adblock Plus installed as an extension). The error I am getting is "This site can’t be reached"..."DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN".
Weirdly I found that disabling Adblock Plus fixes the issue, even manually white-listing the website grants access to the website.
I was wondering if someone can confirm this issue?

My Chrome version is 76.0.3809.132
My Adblock Plus Version is 3.6.3

UPDATE: The website is now accessible while using Adblock Plus (I am not getting the DNS error anymore).
