Windows 7, Adguard for Windows 7.1.2817
Before i begin i have to ask, i have a lifetime license with the Update channel set for Beta builds, is this really the latest build for Win7 Beta testers or has something gone wrong with my install... i have tried uninstalling and re-installing but i never seem to get a Beta build for Win7?
I'm not entirely sure when this first surfaced (i.e. which build had the change that first caused it) but i've long thought something was happening with IE11 that souldn't be... it isn't until today that i've taken time the out to run some tests and they appear to confirm my suspicions... AdGuard is slowing down IE11 to the point where it is all but throttling it.
My testing was comparing how Firefox behaved compared to IE11 under two different settings within AdGuard.
I don't have the time to make this post look pretty because there were multiple speedtests run under different conditions but i did take the time to copy the results and links into a text file, what you see below is all the information i gathered in text format... whether this bulletin board manages to convert the text links into hypertext links remains to be seen, but if copied and pasted into a browser they should work if it doesn't.

Ping 7ms, D/L 315.83Mbps, U/L 36.48Mbps
IE11 without AdGuard:

Firefox 68.0.02 With AdGuard:

Firefox 68.0.02 without AdGuard:

With WFP driver enabled:

Firefox 68.0.02:

With the WFP driver disabled the loss of download speed is circa 15-20%, with WFP enabled it is simply horrible.
All of the above can be reproduced at will.
