kevinf80 Posted October 22, 2020 ID:1415810 Share Posted October 22, 2020 What exactly are you doing when the blocks happen, are you using your default browser (Chrome).. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottscaz Posted October 22, 2020 Author ID:1415811 Share Posted October 22, 2020 yes. I was going to mention that. I have both public Chrome installed as my main personal browser, and Chrome Canary installed which I use to make it so I can work there with my work google ID and keep it separate from my personal ID on Chrome to avoid having to switch back and forth on sign-ins. Interestingly, I get no notifications when Canary is started and running. Only when public Chrome version is running. As soon as I start Chrome is when the notifications start.

kevinf80 Posted October 22, 2020 ID:1415850 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Just have to wait and see if the problem returns. You may want to consider the two following extension for Chrome (unless you already have them) Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Free) for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes-browser-guar/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee uBlock Origin for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
