[AdGuard for Windows] Beta version 6.0.67.364

[ouzbed]

hi,

the beta version works well for me, performance is better than the previous alpha version (with a gigabit ISP).

a quick note, touch scrolling isn't working on app list (the one to add apps to be add blocked).

 

[mysteriously]

Filters check/update time in main window does not update for me with latest Adguard beta version unless I manually check for filters updates. I don't think this is caused by loosing internet connection problems I have lately.

You didn't understand me. I don't want separate windows. I meant that the main GUI is opened beneath the Check updates, Support, License and About windows. So when I close, for instance Check updates window, I have to close also the main GUI window. Why the main GUI window is opened in the background together with the said 4 options? The main GUI window is redundant in these cases. That's my point.

Ideally we shouldn't open main window on these tray icon actions.
Instead we should show small progress window somewhere in the tray area instead.

I've created an issue on github, but it's planned on 6.1 version:

Why not? AG won't check filter updates until it has working internet connection.

Because I usually lost internet connection for 2-5 minutes and Adguard has not checked for filters updates for few days.
BTW: English time and date format is used in Ad blocker tab

Does "Hide your referrer from third parties" blocks google captcha? Happens for me in http://kgmoa.org/register

Seems it does. We should fix this in our filters:

String "#7059262 " got changed back from "BETA" to "ALPHA". Seems to be an error to me and therefore haven't reverted in German translation.

When protection is disabled and I open Google Chrome to https://news.google.com/ the site is still using Adguard's CA even through protection is disabled. That shouldn't be, should it?

 

[ShakedBenratzon]

I talked with ESET and they told me it is not their problem >,<

I do not get it why this 2 program can not work tougher did you guys tried to talk with them and solve it

I tried to disable SSL filter but it did not help website are still freeze in the load or load very slow on Edge browser

Any Idea ?

Btw when do you expect to release Adguard V6 ? ant ETA ?

 

[mysteriously]

Adguard's 'Reinstall certificate' function does not check if cert8.db exist in %AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile name> and reports reinstallation success.

ShakedBenratzon@: Did you try to report it on ESET forum?

Protection enable/disable does not stop Adguard from network filtering. To disable it you should close Adguard.

We do this to fix the issue with unfiltered connections (in v5 when you disable and then re-enable protection some alive connections may stay unfiltered).

The next beta will bring some important changes in the WFP driver.
I can't guarantee that the problem is fixed but it's worth trying.

There are still 57 open issues:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues?q=is:open+is:issue+milestone:"6.0+release"

I think we'll close all in a month or so.

I am sure it does the check, why do you think it's ignored?

Ahh, like what kind of changes? Can't wait to test it!

P.S. Anything new with the YouTube+ userscript thing?

Some low-level fixes, hard to explain

Nope, I haven't yet got to that issue.

avatar, about the mentioned string at oneskyapp?

Protection enable/disable does not stop Adguard from network filtering. To disable it you should close Adguard.

Ah, I was wondering why the service still used cpu resources when Adguard protection was 'paused'.

I am sure it does the check, why do you think it's ignored?

Ok, so maybe it checks but ignores checking result or there is some other issue. Error about missing %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile name>\cert8.db does not show up.

I've alerted @Confessor, let's wait for his answer.

But that's right, AG does patch cert8.db, not creates a new one (it should be done by the Firefox).

This case on video is possible only if the user will delete cert8.db file himself, but I suppose it should not be often in the real life

 

[mysteriously]

Yes, FF creates new cert database at next startup. Yep, I deleted the file, looks like ESET had some issue with SSL pages, but only out of sandbox (which is weird because Sandboxie has direct access to cert8.db). Now works fine

You may rename the string "Remove confirmation" to "Remove subscription" or else a user could think if he/she clicks on Yes/OK the confirmation is never shown again.

 

[Blaz]

When disabling a lot of Filter rules in the subscription and then click on Enable all, Adguard hangs over 5 minutes. Would be nice if it is possible to speed it up a bit.
