Autom. delete/disable unnused language filters

[MrZebulon]

Hi all.
A feature that I requested years ago: A language-filter NOT used for time xx (Days....) should be automatically disabled or deleted. (User choice) Too many filters slow down the data-flow.
Kind regards
Roland

All rules from a filters are added to site's CSS, so they are actually in use everytime even though the CSS does not match anything on the website.

When I delete a language filter, let's say Spanish, all its rules are gone until Spanish language is detected on one of the next opened websites.

That is correct, but as explained the generic rules will still be applied to every site.
Automatic enable feature sees language on the site and then enables it.

 

[MrZebulon]

Yes - I understand. But let's say over a period of 2 months, Adguard "collects" 20 language specific filters. Isn't it a
slow down for opening websites?

 

[Blaz]

A bit yes. When auto enable feature is on it would have to set an expiry date to the enabled filter and renew it everytime a page with corresponding language is opened.

Exactly this is my request. Many thanks for helping me and for clarification.
