The popular content blocking extension uBlock Origin blocks CSP reporting on websites that make use of it if it injects neutered scripts.

CSP, Content Security Policy, can be used by web developers to whitelist code that is allowed to run on web properties. The idea behind the feature is to prevent attackers from injecting JavaScript on websites protected by CSP.

CSP reports any attempt of interfering with the site's policies in regards to scripts to the webmaster. This happens when users connect to the site, and is used by webmasters to analyze and resolve the detected issues.

[...] Raymond Hill, the developer of uBlock Origin, replied stating that this was not a bug but by design. The extension blocks the sending of CSP reports if it injects a neutered Google Analytics script.

    If your bank sucks, pick a better one. I don't see the problem here...

    The problem is that all banks suck. They just suck in different ways.

    So use a credit union. I've got all my money with PSECU and they're fuckin awesome. I don't think I've ever paid them a dime...no overdraft fees, no ATM fees (even ATM fees charged by other banks get refunded), no checking or debit fees, no credit card fees, no fees for the bill payer. No real minimum balance (It's $5)...and at the end of every year they pay me just for having an account.
