Hi Peter I had that also, but just downloaded the Mac App Store version and it worked fine? (Unless I’m thinking of some different to yours).
This is the link to it on the store - https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/adblock-for-safari/id1402042596?mt=12 When I removed AdBlock that was installed and then re-downloaded the M.A.S version it worked the same as it had done before. But there are quite a few that do the same thing,…so I could be mis-reading your email,…lol. Just thought I’d throw that in the ring as well. (Oh, and they do a “Pro” version as well).
