    Can you install v6 alpha to see how it goes?

    Wait for 6.0 beta version (or try alpha if you're ready for some bugs), we've changed the injections algorithm there, it should help.

    @ShakedBenratzon it's rather hard to describe it. We've improved handling of the connections used to serve injected content. There were some bugs in caching algorithm which lead to the issues like yours. The problem was that these issues are extremely hard to reproduce, but I hope that it won't happen again in the new version.

    Well, I don't know if it was needed. While EV SSL is meant to be more secure than SSL it doesn't mean it is free of ads. The same counts for only SSL. My approach is to filter all HTTPS traffic with a few exceptions.

    It's just an option, some users feel themselves safe if the see EV websites non-filtered. EV SSL is rather good protection against phishing as it's really hard to get such certificate. I can't say the same about DV, you can even get it for free.

    FYI...After lots of troubleshooting, I figured out that AG was causing Teredo Tunneling Pseudo Interface to not work (This device cannot start. (Code 10)) so I uninstalled it and no more issues since. Are there any fixes for this?

    On Windows 10, does anyone notice a delay when opening and navigating through the Adguard GUI?

    Yes, with build 10240 and stable version of Adguard there is a delay of about a minute to open the Adguard GUI and to switch between certain sections of settings. Luckily, this is not an issue with Adguard 6 Alpha versions. The delay came (and disappeared) a few times throughout different Windows 10 Insider builds and unfortunately came back with 10240.

    Adguard disables Teredo if TDI driver is used. Not very beautiful solution, maybe we should introduce a setting instead.
    In fact Teredo is very unstable, that's why we do this: https://www.google.com/search?q=teredo utorrent bsod

    The only way to fix this now is switch to WFP driver and enable teredo manually (execute netsh interface teredo set state enabled in cmd.exe)

    I had to uncheck...Filter https protocol....because it seemed to cause problems. Are there any bugs with this filter.

    Some AG filter hinders placing of individual photos to albums on Google Photos. If you choose to place a photo to album a window opens but this window is white/empty, you cannot choose from albums. Also when you want to attach a photo in gmail it happens the same.

    @Dragon1952 what kind of problems?

    @pegas
    Which filters and modules do you use?
    Stealth Mode options?

    @pegas, thank you, we'll take a look at this soon.

    Does disabling "Block third party cookies" help?
    We should do something with this option, it often breaks websites.

    There is too much lag in the interface using Adguard 5.10 on Windows 10.

    @avatar Any soon to be fix for this? It's a really annoying thing to deal with.

    The lag is so bad, I had to disable Adguard for the time being.

    Beta v6 should be released within the forthcoming week so you should be fine soon. You don't need be afraid to use beta, even the alpha is already stable and well polished.

    Have to agree and would like to congratulate all involved :thumb:
    Past 3 alphas have all performed wonderfully.
    Bodes really well for the future :)

    Yeah, I'll have to switch, 5.10 has been acting up as of late.
