Step 6 of 6
Test it: type leadmenottest
Open your browser, type leadmenottest into the address bar and go. If LeadMeNot blocks the page, everything is working.
Not blocked? Every permission has to be on. In System Settings › Privacy & Security, check LeadMeNot is switched on under Accessibility and under Automation, then restart your Mac.
The test only works while blocking is on, for example with Adult Websites & Apps switched on.
