Trouble Managing App Permissions After Installing an Ad-Blocking App

[Youst19]

Has anyone experienced weird permission pop-ups or slowdowns after installing an ad-blocking app? I recently added one to my laptop and now some programs load slower, and I’m not sure whether it’s the blocker or just coincidence. Would love to hear real experiences.

I had something similar on my Windows laptop. After installing an ad-blocker, some apps started taking ages to launch. Turned out it was scanning every new connection. I switched a few settings off and the system became normal again. Maybe check the filter lists or disable it temporarily to compare.

I dealt with a similar slowdown last year when I installed an ad-blocking tool alongside my antivirus. The two apps kept clashing, and some programs refused to open unless I restarted the system. I contacted support later, and while searching for info, I came across discussions referencing the best total adblock phone number for troubleshooting experiences. I didn’t end up calling anywhere, but reading others’ stories helped me understand that conflicts between blockers and background security tools are pretty common. After disabling overlapping filters, the system finally stabilized.
