AdGuard Manifest V3 Extension v0.3.11

[a.nastenko]

Today is the day: AdGuard publishes the world's first ad blocker built on Manifest V3. We put a lot of effort into developing an experimental browser extension that could meet all the requirements of Manifest V3 and block ads properly within its tight confines.
The task was not an easy one: the new API is still raw, some things are being finalized and do not work as intended. But we coped with it. Despite the limitations of Manifest V3, AdGuard MV3 still protects against ads and tracking quite well:

• Blocks requests to trackers proactively
• Hides banners, social widgets and other annoying elements
• Blocks ads on video sharing platforms, including YouTube

Although the experimental extension is not as effective as its predecessor, most users won't feel the difference. The only thing you might notice is ad flickering due to the lag in the application of cosmetic rules.
Our goal with this prototype is to test the new approach and get your feedback. So please, try it out and let us know what can be improved. If you have any issue or suggestion, please let us know via GitHub issues.

Options window gets blank in v0.3.12. See snap attached.

Pegas, hi! What browser do you use?

 

[pegas]

Hi, Opera latest build.

 

[a.nastenko]

It's still an experimental version, and we try to support work at least in Chrome. Hopefully it will be available in other browsers soon enough.

OK, understood but it's still the Chromium under the hood. Options worked fine in the very first release of MV3 extension (v0.3.11) so it should be treated as bug.

I get what you mean. I've created a GitHub issue on that matter. We'll take a look.
Thanks for your report!

 

[pegas]

You’re welcome! Thx!

We're aware of the issue, thanks for the update though. Meanwhile can you try reinstalling the extension and observing what causes the issue?
It would be more convenient if you'd leave comments on GitHub issue.

Unfortunately reinstallation didn't help. I tried to find out what's causing it but I haven't found it.

Sorry I don't have an account there.
