The Ad Block is gone

@ Olga
Wonderful!
Bank Mode is back and what's more Ad Blocker is working as well.
Thank you for the advice, I'm very grateful. I think both feature probably disappeared when Windows updated itself recently, but I cannot be sure.
Best regards
Nick

This problem is going on for me and the browser is updated and everything to 88.1, its just seem to not want to work. I've also already checked in developer mode to see if I can switch it back on and still nothing. I seems to be the only thing I don't see in the developer mode. Can anyone help me out?

Thats to reinstall the browser right? If yes, I've already tried it didn't change anything that I know of at least.

She suggested a clean install. not just an install.

A clean install as in completely removing the browser and reinstalling it? In that case I think I've done it? I defiantly gotten rid of the browser and reinstalled it after. It still has my bookmarks though. So is that suppose to happen or?

It seemed to work for the installation process and the adblocker seemed to pop up again so. Thanks for everything, I appreciate it.

[bob3160]

My pleasure. Happy to hear the problem is solved.

Alright how do I fix this? I just got home and noticed the adblocker is missing. It's not even in the Privacy and Security section, or even the extensions, but bank mode is, and so is the Grammarly extension I have. I'm worried about reinstalling it to be honest.

@noratcat
The only thing that worked for me was to use the Avast Uninstaller - not the Windows one - do a restart (actually I did two) and then to reinstall a 'clean' Avast. I'm not sure what this will do to your Grammerly. I think you will have to go back and reinstall this too.
