Global Site Tag (gtag) doesn't send anything

Question

I've set up a new Analystics account, and copied over the tracking code. It's of the kind

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X');
</script>

I then track an event using

gtag('event', 'click', {
  event_category: 'acquisition',
  event_action: 'click',
  event_label: 'download',
  event_value: 1
});

I've tried all kinds of gtag() syntax, however nothing ever gets sent to Analytics. When checking the Network tab in Chrome debug tools, there is no communication with Google at all. (the dataLayer array is properly populated)

I don't want to use Google Tag Manager, just looking for a simple "track event via Javascript".

Looks like it is working, might be a local computer/browser addon that's blocking the call to GA
