Hi,

Looking for a way to block a website from opening. NOT child security preventing me or kid from opening a website, but a website that is autoloaded from some other website that I have opened. Like MacKeeper. Want to permanently block that and others from opening. Especially the ones that try to replace my search engine.

Thanks!

Which browser & OS versions? You will want to look for an ad or content blocker.

I use AdBlock and Ghostery with Safari/Mojave.

It sounds like you could do with running malwarebytes to see if there's any malware or adware on your machine causing the re-directs
