Adguard blocking Youtube Comments

Adguard is blocking comments on Youtube - they're coming up blank. I know it's Adguard because when I disable, the comments show up. I think it's some cosmetic rule but I can't figure out which one is doing the blocking so I can disable it and be able to read comments. How do I get comments back? Thanks.

Hello, @mobamoba
Looks like the Parental Control function has triggered.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to unlock comments separately.
AdGuard Family DNS sends a request to enable Parental Control on YouTube, and the settings will be applied directly by YouTube. That is, we don't regulate the features that are disabled.

I only use your main filter list and no others. What within your main filter is blocking comments and I'll disable that specific filter?

I'm 99% sure that the problem is caused by something that lists itself as a "Cosmetic Rule" - but I can't see a way to disable it nor can I see what the actual rule is. Where I do I find Cosmetic Rules so I can edit? Thanks.

Does it work if you disable all filters? I can't reproduce this unfortunately, usually this kind of thing happens when using non-AG filter lists.

I can reproduce it nonstop unfortunately. And, yes, when I click the little Adguard icon and disable filtering for 30 seconds, all the comments show up. This is how I know the problem is with Adguard. Here's a screenshot and the blocked and modified filters:

Is it showing you the rule when you click on the yellow entry? If not, please try to install FireFox Extension and subscribe to same set of filters and disable AdGuard for Windows. Then it should show.

Which rule and from which filter list was it caused?

Sorry I didn't write it down. There were 5 or 6 cosmetic rules and I disabled them one by one and eventually got the comments back. I then re-enabled them all and still had comments so perhaps it was a cookie or cache thing. Youtube forced a new version recently and perhaps disabling those rules allowed some cookie or cache thing to clean out from the old version that then allowed the new version to work.
