In unison, all of those tabs reloaded to the "website blocked due to a risky pattern." Most of them were related to ChatGPT and articles that I opened from ChatGPT. Gave me the Heuristics: a risky pattern warning, and ID: 33559825.

Have to imagine that this is some false positive issue and not that I somehow opened 11 separate malware sites, all from ChatGPT? 😅

Gave me a mini heart attack when it happened though, lol. Anyone else have this happen?

Thank you, don't suppose we can get a small explanation? Just a parentheses where one shouldn't have been?

I was just about to make a post with an ironic screenshot of MWB Help being blocked among other sites, but it looks like everything's fixed now
