    Nope, browser extension is not capable of doing such things.
    The only thing we can try is replacing favicon with a default image for all websites.

    Cache maybe?

    OK, it might be a solution for me. Can you help me?

    Unfortunately no, I have cleared cache and also have deleted Favicon file from Opera folder but favicons are displayed anyway. Strange thing is that the favicons of these two sites (Wilders and weather site) are blocked on my secondary laptop with Vista but on my primary machine (Win 8.1) they're not blocked.

    False positive most likely. I just clicked on that link fine through our triple-layer protection here at the NOC. (Fortigate, Trend, and undisclosed appliance)

    Ads are not blocked on sites where adguard assistant is not working. Eg., facebook ads are not blocked and also adguard assistant is not working. Another site where it does not work is addons.mozilla.org

    Had to stop using Adguard due to bugs. Also stopped using extension due to bugs.

    Back to uBlock. I will re-try Adguard when v6 comes out.

    It does not work on addons.mozilla.org because the site is in default SSL exclusions list.

    What for facebook ads - maybe you've ran into this issue:

    Fixed in the latest beta:

    Still think that this is some sort of a cache.

    You can try a rule like this:
    Code:
    #%#(function() { var link = document.createElement('link'); link.type = 'image/x-icon'; link.rel = 'shortcut icon'; link.href = 'https://cdn.adguard.com/public/Adguard/Common/note.png'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link); }());
    
    Can't find default icon used by Opera.

    Thanks but it isn't so reliable. When I start Opera the favicons are seen, I have to refresh all sites to to replace them by your rule. Anyway thanks for your effort.

    It is so until Opera remembers this new favicon. Can't find a place where Opera stores favs cache, cleaning browser cache does not help.

    Isn't it there?
    Though deleting all files contained in this directory doesn't help to replace favicons at the first Opera run.

    @pegas, ok, let's improve our script.

    Use these new rules instead of the previous:
    Code:
    #%#window.AG_removeFavIcon = function() { var link = document.createElement('link'); link.type = 'image/x-icon'; link.rel = 'shortcut icon'; link.href = 'https://cdn.adguard.com/public/Adguard/Common/note.png'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link); };
    #%#setTimeout(window.AG_removeFavIcon, 100);
    #%#window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', window.AG_removeFavIcon);
    #%#window.addEventListener('load', window.AG_removeFavIcon);

    Thanks but to no avail. Only refresh replaces favicons but it's not a big deal. Let's give it up.

    Why https://feedly.com/i/latest is whitelisted (Filtering log shows it) and how to remove it from whitelist? My whitelist is empty, so is it whitelisted by a filter?

    I tend to think that it happens because Adguard can't catch up my fast machine :) I have noticed that if I have a couple of tabs opened and I restart Opera some ads aren't blocked and I have to refresh tabs/websites to get blocked all ads. Unfortunately favicons which aren't blocked after restart are retained because they're (likely) cached. Conclusion? Adguard needs start instantly and not with certain lag.

    Anyway we need some time for extension initialization. Chrome/Opera do this in parallel with pages load.
    I think we can make init a bit faster but I doubt it can fully fix this issue.

    Any improvement is welcome :) but I know that you're doing your best with Adguard and I do thanks for that.

    Confirmed!
