Has anyone experienced an uptick in uBO silently failing to fetch userResourcesLocation lately?

Since the 1.50 development cycle (1.49.3b..), I've been noticing an uptick in uBlock Origin silently failing to fetch userResourcesLocation after cold start on my dirty profile, to the point of it being regular as of current. As a result, the relevant entries in My Filters will be highlighted as if the scriptlets have not been defined. Has anyone experienced the same lately? I'm hosting mine on GitHub (which I cannot share due to privacy reasons, but it is in the form that you expect, i.e. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...) if that helps.

I've eliminated my own internet connection as the problem, and I'm not even sure how to reproduce it if I were to do so on a clean profile. What is unfortunate is the fact that there is no feedback from uBO (any fetch error seems to be ignored [1][2], per my understanding of the source code) and you only know that it failed if either

• you notice that your own filters are highlighted in My Filters, or
• you open the relevant webpage and notice that your scriptlet(s) does not work.

Any feedback or suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Over the last two weeks, this problem seems to cease existing. I will monitor this closely in the coming weeks.
