My Mac will not load most websites on any browser.

Question

My Mac will not load most websites on any browser.

My MacBook Pro will not load most websites on safari, chrome, or Firefox. Major websites like google, YouTube, and Facebook, seem to work fine, but no other websites will load at all. It is not my WiFi, as all of my other devices on the same network are loading pages just fine. I cleared the history and website data and saw no improvement. I tried using network utility and put my school website into “ping” and this is what I got out:

Ping has started…

I tried using look up as well and this is what it says:

Are you having problems on your home network or you school/business network? This makes a big difference for troubleshooting since a school/business network may be very locked down requiring assistance of the IT Dept.

Do you have any anti-virus or other security apps on your Mac which may be interfering? Any browser extensions? Have you tried creating a new user and testing from the new user account?

You can run EtreCheck to look for software issues. Feel free to post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.
