5. If this doesn’t help, use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to remove malware.

Download, install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan” button to remove adware.
Once done, quit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.
Install guide: https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1817
The installer may ask you to allow it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Allow it.
Reselect your search engine, reset homepage and disable all extensions and test.
Restart your Mac.
THIS DID NOT WORK.
I have tried all these steps as well as removing website data from the Safari privacy settings. None of this works.
Is it possible to delete and reinstall Safari without having to reinstall entire Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6?
