Hi, I cannot seem to add things to my cart on certain websites. I tried two different web browsers, made sure Javascript is enabled and cleared my cookies and cache. So far none of that has worked. It only seems to be a problem on my Mac. The websites work fine on my phone.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1
Restart in Safe mode and try again in safe mode.
Safe Mode does a number of different things. Hold shift at startup, but have your userid and password at the ready.
A parade of unusual things happens.
• Your Mac loads just enough of the kernel to do a disk check. Then it proceeds to do a disk check. This can take an extra about five minutes.
• your userid and password are required, even if you normally auto-login. So have them handy.
• Your Mac adds ONLY a minimal set of Apple-Only extensions, Not including graphics acceleration extensions. Screen updates will therefore be wonky and slow, and the screen may re-draw multiple times, but it ultimately should be accurate.
• Your Mac assumes defaults for as many settings as possible. This is the key for re-setting the screen, but there is a little more to it: Resolution is likely to be lower and settings ordinary. Use this as a starting point to customize settings to your liking.
Any changes you make in Safe Mode will "stick" in regular mode after you restart.
• after restart in normal mode, your Mac will take slightly longer to start up [once] because it rebuilds some system caches.
PUNCHLINE:
"Works in Safe mode, fails in regular mode" implies "It's something you added".

The system time is correct
No third party anti virus
I was using a VPN (ExpressVPN): I turned it off, restarted my computer, and it still will not let me add things to cart (so far I have tried 6 different sites).
Is system Time correct within five minutes?
are you running any Third-party anti-Virus?
are you using a proxy or VPN?
Cannot add things to my cart
