    I fully understand what by the notice is meant and I do agree that having enabled all (or many) filters can produce more troubles than benefits. But something could be changed, either text or the way how filters are installed/enabled. How about giving a prompt, instead of automatically enabling a filter, that a filter is available for a site you visit and if you want to enable it just click on "something" or move slider or anything else. Give a choice. As for my case, I mistakenly visited a Polish site what triggered the Polish filter but until then I never been on Polish sites so no need to have the Polish filter (permanently) enabled, imo.

    @pegas, I've missed one important thing. This "too many filters" message should be visible inside "All filters" dialog.
    The fact that you see it on "Settings" page is our mistake and we'll fix it soon.

    Great!

    Nevertheless, having the full control over filters installation/enabling (no fully automatic but dependant on user choice) would be neat.

    Nothing serious yet, we are concentrated on Android and Mac OSX versions right now.
    Started working on extension version 2.x design though.

    Great! Thanks for the comments. I'm keen to see Android and iOS version which probably won't be sooner than OSX version.

    The first impression is great. Well done!

    Here on Wilders Mark forum read option and other options (edit etc.) dont load correctly, it's somehow crippled.

    What filtering engine do you use? High-speed or high-quality?
    We'll check what's wrong with us here. As a temporary solution you can add wilders to the whitelist.

    I am not sure if discussing android app here is ok. Is it off-topic?
    But I don't see a section about mobile apps.

    Default settings, have to reload pages often, don't load at all or crippled. Almost impossible to have smooth surfing. Chrome and Opera.

    Found the reason, malware and phising protection causes it.

    Even if disabled browser protection, it's unusable every second page doesn't load correctly. Disabled application completely for the time being.

    FYI, Xperia Tablet Z, android 4.4.4

    Have you tried adding it to whitelist in app settings?

    If whitelisted, the forum is usable (edit, mark as read etc.) but it doesn't solve reload issues, they persist.

    Uh, the forum broke again, disabled application again. Sorry it's really annoying.

    No problem, it's a pity we've not faced this problem while we were in closed beta stage.

    I've managed to reproduce it so we'll fix it soon.

    No problem, glad you identified the source of problem. :)

    Will you upload the new version on Play? If not please share a link to installation file.

    I remember, but publishing to Play is not very fast.
    Fix will be available either today or tomorrow.

    OK, Thanks. I understand but believe publishing at Play is much faster than at Apple app store ... but you will experience it once you have got Adguard for OS and iOS.

    It takes several hours. Not so long, but we won't be able to quickly fix something critical and that's why we spend lots of time on testing before publishing.

    New version is here. Not yet available in Google Play, but you can install it manually:
    http://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/manual-install.html

    Btw, this apk-version can block ads in every app, not in browsers only.
