Adblocking Programs No Longer Working

[_Refurbished_]

It's very strange. Both my iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 18.1 and my old iMac on Sequoia no longer block nearly as many ads. Advertisements on ESPN, Slickdeals.net, Dailytech etc....all now show ads on both versions of Safari. Is anyone else experiencing this. I think I noticed this a few weeks ago. I was using Unicorn blocker, thought it was that, changed to a different blocker and had the same result. Anyone else going through this? If so, found a solution?

Nope. Adguard runs fine for me.

I have been using AdGuard on my M4 iPads and haven’t had any problems with ads.

Try relaunching the ad blocker app first, if nothing happens turn content blocker or extension setting off and on again. If nothing happens, try reinstalling. Final step if all fails is to change to reputable ad blockers like AdGuard or Ghostery.
