    Absolutely.
    Even uBlock Origin Lite does not escape this disadvantage.

    Thanks for the heads up. Never thought I should check the filter update dates. Returned to AG MV2.

    I think it is indecent how late the AG team is updating the MV3 adblock.

    https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/issues/3218


    It would take more frequent updates,not an explanation.

    I would also be curious to know why in ABP it is possible not only to insert,when the syntax of the rules is compatible,custom filter lists,but also to make the 'filter list update in real time.

    Pity the lack of many features,for example few filter lists that I am interested in FilterLists,or the quite different rule syntax even compared to uBlock Origin.

    I gave up on AG MV3 and went back to its MV2 extension and suddenly all the problems are gone. I will definitely keep MV2 as long as it works in browsers.

    Someone may have noticed that since v.5.1.94 the dynamic rules have been increased to 30000.
    This change is very important for custom filters, which we hope will be available again soon.

    It seems that the “Online Malicious URL Blocklist” filter list is updated in a better way.
    The AG version released today 109 shows the date of June 20.

    I did some testing with online https malicious links and it seems to be useful.
    Considering that the most recent malwares are mostly http.

    Github malware blocking rules are much more efficient and cover all cases (that have occurred so far):


    Code:
    ||github.com/*/*.exe$document
    ||github.com/*/*.zip$document
    ||github.com/*/*.7z$document
    ||raw.githubusercontent.com/*/*.zip$document
    ||raw.githubusercontent.com/*/*.exe$document
    ||raw.githubusercontent.com/*/*.7z$document

    AG Browser Extension v.114 was released today.
    Version 113 was released on 28 June.

    Usually the "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" is a day behind.

    If new versions of the extension will also be available in the future with this short time frame,it is probably worth subscribing to the above-mentioned filter list.

    I have decided which custom filter lists to subscribe to when v.5.2 is stable:

    • Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN
    • Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool
    • ClearURLs for uBo (unofficial)
    I am undecided whether to also subscribe to:
    • EU US ads&tracking networks MV3 (third-party blocking only)
    who no longer uses Kees1958 (but uses that list of filters his wife).
