Regarding your intentions of blocking windows telemetry with adguard
You should take a look to this project

Why don't you merge this two extensions? is there a reason to keep them separated?
StealthMode could simply be and additional tab of adguard extension.
On the other hand do you plan to add a feature like this:
Recomended read...
Extending and consolidating hosts files from a variety of sources like adaway.org, mvps.org, malwaredomains.com, someonewhocares.org, yoyo.org, and potentially others. You can optionally invoke extensions to block additional sites by category...
Ok, understood, still not clear to me if Easyprivacy would be a complement to the Stealth mode, or if the Stealth mode is enable Easyprivacy is useless.
In case it is a complement, I guess your english filter doesn't include privacy filters and then the question is why don't you have a privacy...
It shouldn't be irrelevant? I thought that adguard worked as ublock which only uses only the non duplicated items, so if the items in your filter and in Easylist are 98% the same it will only use the 2% of entries of Easylist, not adding a huge processing effort, if the lists added are mostly...
I have notice this bug over the last beta versions.
Every time I lose network connectivity and switch to wifi, or I go to plane mode and come back... adguard blocks all my traffic, I can't browse, and of the apps is like there were no internet access. When I disable adguard everything works.
I was looking at the beta yesterday and I miss some of these list (I know you can add them manually but it would be nice to have them by default)

I will try later in my home computer, but how browsers addons are going to interfere if adguard (for windows) is suppose to block the ads before the information reaches the computer, so in this way saves traffic?
The filtering happens at a different stage I don't understand how it can be...
I have chrome with ublock and ghostery.
If I open IE or chrome with incognito mode adguard is working because the ads are blocked, I can't see them, but in the normal chrome session with ublock and ghostery I can still see how they are blocking or at least reporting the blocked ads like if...
I have notice that the I/O consumption is higher or similar to any AV, it would be possible to avoid this by using more RAM therefore having less access to the disk?
I guess the impact would be insignificant but I high I/O could be bad for an SSD.
I have notice as well that ublock and ghostery...
