4) Update
In case you are using the ad blocker app or software, there are chances that it’s outdated which is causing the performance and functionality issue. In addition, the outdated version of the ad blocker app or software can result in interference. The users need to update the ad blocker and make sure you keep updating them regularly. Once the update is complete, we are certain that the interference will be fixed.
5) Reboot The Browser
There are people who don’t want to switch on the safe mode on the browsers, we suggest that you reboot the browser. This is because the minor configuration issues in the browser can be causing the interference. That being said, you have to reboot the browser (just close down the browser application and open it after a few minutes).
6) Reinstall The Adblocker
If nothing seems to streamline the interference issue with adblocker, we suggest that you delete the adblocker app or software from your system. Even if you have only installed the extension, just delete it. Once the adblocker tools are deleted, you need to reboot the device. When the device switches on, install the adblocker again and there won’t be any interference. As a result, it will fix the underlying bugs.
