Onedrive says offline mode isn't turned on so some features aren't available???

My onedrive suddenly says "offline mode isn't turned on so some features aren't available". I can't open any files or folders, so can't do anything with them. **** is this. I tried it on operagx, doesn't work. I tried on Edge and it suddenly works, but Edge is ****. I tried on the opera browser, also had the same issue. I tried on brave browser. Also same issue. I don't get it. I can't change any settings regarding this offline mode, and I can't find a single answer anywhere online. The rest of all the apps do work though.
Oh and onedrive also decided to suddenly switch to Danish, whilst all other apps were in English. When I went to settings it also said it was in English so I effectively couldn't change the language of my onedrive. Somehow that magically fixed itself going to a different browser. I tried adding a screenshot but it constantly fails to upload. The only thing visible in the screenshot is the error message which I quoted above.

Dear Justin,

Thanks for the updates.

As per the further updates, since it's working fine in the Microsoft Edge and working fine on your browser, definitely the issue is not related to your OneDrive and it should be related to the browsers where you are accessing OneDrive.

So, I request you please clear the browser cache of the browsers where you are having the issue with the OneDrive and see whether the same problem happens.

If still the same, can you please confirm whether the browser having issue is enabled with the extension? If yes, please temporarily turn it off and check the outcome.

If possible, please uninstall the problematic browser and re-install to check the outcome?

Appreciate your time with us and we will be waiting for the update from you.

Best Regards,

Sophia

    Hi, it appears that the builtin adblocker was causing the issue. Very weird that an adblocker breaks onedrive. Thanks a lot for the help and suggestions, the issue has now been solved.

    Hi everyone,

    I just love how Microsoft support is being useless while your simple comment, Justin S06, saved my day. Same issue in Firefox+uOrigin, disabling the adblock solved the issue.

    Still this is quite weird that adblock stops microsoft services from functioning..

    Thanks! Have a nice day Justin!

    To add to the adblock datapoint, I had this issue and disabling uBlock Origin also fixed it.

    I've had found exactly the same thing on my PC. uBlock Origin Lite was causing SharePoint and OneDrive for Business to be perpetually in offline mode. I would never have thought to check the Ad Blocker extension before
