Dear Macrumors community,
you are my only hope.
Several ad-filtering extensions installed through the Mac App Store are not working in Sarafi 14.0.2 under Bis Sur 11.1.
The issue is not persistent in other user accounts on my macbook.
I did chat to apple support for hours, eventually I was told to make a new user account and migrate my files to the new one, as no fix for the issue was found. This is a step I would like to avoid as its a hassle.
Steps I have done:
- reinstalling the Safari extensions
- reinstalling mac OS from recovery
- disabling all login items of the user account
- virus and malware check with: Malwarebytes, Avast Antivirus, Norton Internet Security (some of them were run in safe mode as well)
- deleting several system files in folders like Library/LaunchDaemons and Library/StartupItems etc with the help of Apple support
- resetting NVRAM and SMB
- boot into safe mode: the issue is persistent in safe mode
I have the impression that my account got infected by a malware. However, running the antivirus softwares did not help.
Anyone has any recommendations on how to proceed?
Extensions I have tried: AdBlock for Safari, Adblock Plus for Safari ABP, AdGuard for Safari, 1Blocker for Safari
