ad blockers not working on safari

Vaayu Said:

"unfortunately nothing changed"

-------

Where to go from here:

Use MalwareBytes for Mac

This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstallMalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
2. Malwarebytes uninstaller

-------

Does this still occur? If so...

Boot into Safe Mode:

(hold down shift upon boot until the login screen appears). See if this is still an issue. Safe Mode lets items run as default, without changes whatsoever. That is possible because caches are temporarily disabled while in Safe Mode.

Try Clearing Your Temporary Internet Files: History and Cache

Ad And Stuff Blocker works in Safari 13.0.4 on Catalina 10.15.2 and Mojave. It downloads as an application and appears in Launchpad. You click it, and by doing so, it installs or updates its Safari extension. Then quit the application. Updates appear in the Mac App Store Updates tab.
