I don't think the adblocker is actually the reason why I can't see the reviews, that was just another annoyance. Funnily enough I've re-installed uBlock (origin lite) and it seems to be working
I can also see reviews when using the TOR browser . . . which by default tends to block damn near everything
The whole interweb thing seems to be convoluted and screwed in the name of 'security'
