Safari redirects webpages to google.com

For some reason, Safari redirects certain webpages like reddit and others to google.com automatically. It doesn't happen with any other browsers or on my iPhone, and I've done a malware scan that said there was no malware. I also don't have any blocked websites with screen time. It's really annoying. Could you tell me what's going on here? Thanks.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

We understand you're being redirected to other pages when trying to browse the web using Safari.


It sounds like one of your settings or additional software are causing this.
