If that doesn't work, try clearing cookies and explicitly block that site.

In Firefox you can "Inspect" the rectangular box with right click menu and find URLs inside it to block. Probably something similar in Safari. Block the high level domain, like "evilwebsite.com", not a specific URL like "https: //evilwebsite.com/folder/directory/junk/something.js".

Try rebooting the computer.
