Strange: Site goes into loop if TA'd & accessed from external link

Click this link on this page [WinRAR], www.group-ib.com/blog/cve-2023-38831-winrar-zero-day/.

By default JS is blocked on group-ib.com, so page does not display properly.
All expected.

Temporarily Allow group-ib.com.
Page displays, expected.
(You'll probably get a cookie popup. Do not respond to it. [I don't know if that matters or not?])

Go back to the win-rar.com page, again, & again click the link that loads the group-ib.com page.

This time (& group-ib.com is still TA'd), the group-ib.com page goes into a loop.
The NoScript icon flashes a "TG" & you can see the "status bar" (cough) transferring data.

Odd.
(At some point, or maybe if you click in the page, a couple of times, it may load.)

If you open from another tab, TabGuard strips all cookies and that's likely what causes the loop.
Either manually reloading or navigating a link in the same site overrides TabGuard, and that's likely what "cured" your case.

(Sounds like I need to read up on what "TabGuard" is .
[Ah, now I have to actually read through them...])
