How do I disable adblocking in safari?

I am using Version 12.1 (13607.1.40.1.5) of Safari.

If I go to Safari->Preferences->Extensions is shows that I have no extensions installed.

When I visit http://kmlviewer.nsspot.net, I press the "choose file" button and select a kml file. I then get the message:

"Please disable the adblock for free use."

If I go to Safari->Settings for This Website, "Enable Content Blockers" is unchecked, "Auto-Play" is set to "Allow all auto-play", and "Pop-Up Windows" is set to "Allow"

I do not see any other settings that would further disable ad blocking. Is there anything more I can do?

There are several sample kml files out there, but you can take the text from:

https://gist.github.com/EricG-Personal/589b293297f42759ba32dea3df04a7b5

and create your own .kml file easily.

Did you edit /etc/host file?

Download EtreCheck, run it to see if there is any adware installed or not.

https://etrecheck.com/maspro

Click “Click to download” button,

Open Downloads folder, click on it to open, and then select ”Open”.

“Choose a problem” from the popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog.

Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy report” .

Paste the report when you reply if you wish.

Note: This is a diagnostic test.

If 5000 words limit applies: Split the report into two parts and post as two separate posts.

Scroll down the sidebar, click the "Report" button and read it.

Do you see /etc/host under "Configuration files" listed?

See if going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy and unchecking Prevent cross-site tracking helps.

The behavior remains unchanged. The adblock error still appears.

Does this work for you?

I can't get that web site to load. I receive an error message that the site can't be found.

You may need to remove a comma at the end of the url...

It should be:

http://kmlviewer.nsspot.net
