I cannot get my Mac book pro to add FS to location services making it impossible to use Hulu.

Since this last update a day ago, this latest version is not blocking YouTube adds. Very frustrating.

Friendly Streaming started crashing right after the 5.9.12 update installed. Whether using xfinity streaming, Netflix or others the app goes down as soon as I switch to another station or movie. I'm using MacBook Pro 2017, Catalina 10.15.7. Any suggestions?
