    They are comparable. It's hard to say which tracking protection is better though.

    Nothing I know about.

    We've managed to make first working prototype recently so I think that the first beta-version will be ready at the end of may.

    It will support almost all browsers but there are also some restrictions:
    1. May not work on some (small part of) devices with Android versions 4.0.x and 4.4.x
    2. Won't work with browsers with traffic compression feature (like Opera Mini)
    3. Won't filter HTTPS websites

    One more thing - root is not required.

    Yes it should but I don't know Chrome's update policy.
    You can enable "Developer mode" on chrome://extensions page and check updates manually.

    We need more details:
    1. Extension version? Is it 1.0.1.8?
    2. Chrome version
    3. Is there a way to reproduce it or it crashes randomly?

    Could you please temporary enable chrome://crashes/ and send us the details if it occurs again?

    1) 1.0.1.8
    2) Version 34.0.1847.116 on Linux Debian 7
    3) No that I know of. Happens randomly when I browse the internet.

    Will send you one when it crashes again.

    As of today Adguard blocks all pictures of applications on Google Play. Not a big issue though.

    FYI, avatar is on vacation till 12th May, he will stop by here sometimes but not so often.

    EDIT: Resolved. Pictures are back. Thanks.

    I have a lot of user filter entries. Scrolling within these user filter entries is very very slow comparing to scrolling the extension settings site. Can you kindly set up the same scrolling speed for User filters?

    Had ca 50 but deleted all to start from the scratch because I didnt know which were already added to filters. It is because of lack of Czech filter. Now having 10 or so. Btw, how it relates to my complaint about the scrolling speed?

    Thought maybe you've got thousands and it just works slow.
    How do you scroll? Mouse wheel?

    Yes, mouse wheel. As I said scrolling
    the whole settings page is fine, only within user filters it is a pain.

    I noticed that Adguard blocks street view in Google maps. You see only black screen. Disabling filtering resolves the issue.

    Btw, I have reported this issue already yesterday using "Submit a complaint on this website" but to no avail (yet). So can you kindly shed light on how these reports are processed? Just curious.

    1. Removed ads from forums.watchuseek.com

    2. Cannot reproduce the issue with street view. Which filters do you use?
