It's come to our attention that EasyList (https://easylist.to/) recently deployed an update which incorrectly blocks a lot of legitimate web resources. If you're stuck on a white page when loading http://CryptPad.fr try disabling your blocker and trying again.

Our servers are under considerable load as more people are working remotely. Everything is holding up and we plan to spend our next few days ensuring that we can continue to scale. In the meantime we appreciate your patience if we're slow to answer support tickets or issues.
