Ah, I see that now too -- though it looks like a warning, so unlikely
to be the cause of this issue.

(OTOH the only place we do that is loading the ruleset list at launch.)

After you type DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL=1 <press enter> ... if you go back to
browsing around, you should see lots of console log messages per site
you visit.

e.g. opening my console at launch results in:

[I set the log level to 1]

<- 1

[I open a new tab]
