I've had the thought for awhile now that perhaps there should be a separate Adguard Assistant extension for Chrome and Firefox, which is focused on integration with Adguard for Windows and Adguard for Mac (e.g. extension that's unable to block ads by itself) - it'd primarily serve as the Assistant. That way there won't be anymore issues with the extension filtering sites while Adguard for Windows/Mac isn't (due to exceptions, etc.).
This would be great for a person like me who doesn't exactly like to use the Assistant userscript (but does anyways), and doesn't like using the browser extensions as a replacement due to them automatically falling back (when there's an exception in the main program) to filtering websites (yes, I have all filters disabled/removed in the browser extensions in this case).
This would also solve the issue where the Assistant won't appear on websites with invalid HTML. But I also know an Assistant extension isn't possible for Safari or Edge right now, which is fine. Chrome and Firefox are the two most used browsers.
