For the past two weeks, I have not been able to access the drudge report on my desktop computer. I can access it on my phone and tablet but not the desktop. When I attempt to open it all I get is a blank white screen and the tab says "CS System".

I am running Malwarebytes in case that might cause the issue. Is there anything you can think of checking to fix this?

Ignoring the question of why you would even want to visit the site(the design is awful), what computer and operating system(and version) are you using?

It opens fine for me using Chrome on Windows 10. Try clearing your cache - ctrl+shift+delete. Choose all time for time range, then uncheck everything except cached images and files, then click on Clear Data

You are a genius! That did the trick; thank you so much for the advice.

I have to concur. Though the site is readable stripped down to its base, it suffers from the following unfortunate design flaws:

It is behind clouldflare
It instructs your system to connect to script.ac, twimg.com, googletagservices.com and rubiconproject.com third party observers
Despite being a textual site, it requests the user load 3 javascript from the base domain (why require turing-complete interactivity on a text page?)
It appears to serve ads "In order to fund operations, we do use cookies as described as Advertising Cookies by our Website Cookie Policy to deliver advertisements"
As above, uses cookies to do anything other than manage login sessions

Overall, it's rather technically disgusting.
