Early Access: AdGuard 6.0 Alpha Version

Filtered apps should really only allow adding of exe files instead of everything like txt file (see screenshot above).

Yes. Firefox stable x86. Does not happen always, it's rather rare issue. I have HTTPS Everywhere addon.

and if u disable the https everywhere addon and restart browser, does Adguard function accurately?

Maybe Adguard has disabled SSL filtering in Firefox, should be fixed after reboot (or reinstall certificate).

The bug is still open, we'll fix it eventually.

Hi
We need a direct link to the page and screenshot of Stealth Mode page.

 

[beta]

Some sites login problem with Adguard 6.0 like Zbigz.com , Hive.im

and some ads and popup too in zbigz

zbigz.com###content > DIV:first-child > A > IMG

 

[Blaz]

Can you please post a specific link for zbigz.com as I can't see any ads/popups on main site, thank you.

EDIT: What is "VPAID Filter"?

The issue happened when I didn't have ESET SS installed yet, so I uninstalled the extension temporary.

Maybe Adguard has disabled SSL filtering in Firefox, should be fixed after reboot (or reinstall certificate).

Before uninstalling the extension, "Like" button started showing up on one of polish websites while long browsing session.

So I'll check this without HTTPS Everywhere but with ESET SS already installed and using TDI driver.
BTW: Since (IMHO) Win10 is even worse than 8, I came back to 7. 10 knows better what I want to do and fighting with OS in every single matter is just ridiculous.

EDIT: What is "VPAID Filter"?

Where have you found it? We've been thinking about introducing an option for gently blocking vpaid/vast ads.

But we're still not sure if it's a good idea. Maybe it's better to simply add "replace" rules (something like you've suggested before).

 

[mysteriously]

VPAID can be found in translation strings for Adguard 6.
In language bar there should be "Polski" instead of "Polskie" for polish language.
It's funny to see the app in native language I helped translating
Oh no, Adguard Assistant size resets itself again. This time the size preserves until you navigate to other web page. Checked using firefox

Thank you for the release

 

[Blaz]

buuuuuuu190 is correct, I found it as a translation string.

In main window the string "Activated X filters" below Ad Blocker: Is it possible to have a complete string for that or else it looks strange in German, thank you.

The same applies for the help text (tooltip) when you move the mouse over the ? next to the module (applies to all modules). In German it normally should be "The Ad Blocker module" and currently it is only "Ad Blocker module".

When every filter/extension/userscript is up2date, it shouldn't display the "Updates check result".
And there should be an option to disable that result window completely.

When the user is selecting another language and then presses on Close except OK for restart, the chosen flag stays, but the language name is the currently used one:

When manually restarting Adguard it is started with the old language and not the new one. In confirmation dialogue should be three buttons, "OK", "Restart manually later" and "Abort".


The string "Adguard will automatically filter all your Internet traffic using the traffic interception module." should renamed as then a user may search for the "traffic interception module" in Adguard as there are other modules like "Ad Blocker".


String "Adguard will not automatically intercept your application traffic. To enable traffic filtering, you need to manually configure your browser to use Adguard as a proxy server." should be renamed to "... Internet traffic filtering, you need to".

Tooltip of help icon of "Enable Ad Blocker" is the same as the previous text "Enable Ad Blocker".

String "Hides the current website from third-parties by replacing Referer HTTP header." has a typo in "Referer". It should be "Referrer".

In Filtered Apps when user wants to add another executable to the list, the Open window has the word "Executables (.exe) (*.exe)" in the filter list (next to the file name). But that string is not localized or no string available for it (appears still in English) (the same applies for Extensions "SCRIPT Files (*.user.js)". The file name itself should be nothing at all, currently it is "Application executable" (and you don't see it completely, you have to move the cursor to the front to see it completely).

In Parental Control blacklist/whitelist there is no tooltip for the two buttons + -

Parental Control password should be not displayed as it currently is. Is there some kind of recovery password stored, e. g. in Adguard online account?
When the password and its confirmation mismatches, the second box is only shown in red, but no actual text next to it.

It would be nice if the extension's descriptions would be translatable (the standard ones).



Thanks for adding German language finally. Could fix a few typos/meanings

Can't reproduce this. What website and firefox version?

What do you suggest?

And there should be an option to disable that result window completely.

For what reason?

When the user is selecting another language and then presses on Close except OK for restart, the chosen flag stays, but the language name is the currently used one:

This is an old bug and it is surprisingly hard to fix

When manually restarting Adguard it is started with the old language and not the new one. In confirmation dialogue should be three buttons, "OK", "Restart manually later" and "Abort".

In fact "Cancel" means "Do not change language". Message box text is not good:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/233

The string "Adguard will automatically filter all your Internet traffic using the traffic interception module." should renamed as then a user may search for the "traffic interception module" in Adguard as there are other modules like "Ad Blocker". String "Adguard will not automatically intercept your application traffic. To enable traffic filtering, you need to manually configure your browser to use Adguard as a proxy server." should be renamed to "... Internet traffic filtering, you need to".

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/234

Tooltip of help icon of "Enable Ad Blocker" is the same as the previous text "Enable Ad Blocker".

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/235

String "Hides the current website from third-parties by replacing Referer HTTP header." has a typo in "Referer". It should be "Referrer".

It is not typo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer

In Filtered Apps when user wants to add another executable to the list, the Open window has the word "Executables (.exe) (*.exe)" in the filter list (next to the file name). But that string is not localized or no string available for it (appears still in English) (the same applies for Extensions "SCRIPT Files (*.user.js)".

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/236

Why? Isn't it too obvious?

Parental Control password should be not displayed as it currently is.

Anyway you can't get to it if you don't know the password.

Is there some kind of recovery password stored, e. g. in Adguard online account?

Nope, the only way to reset it is to reinstall Adguard.

When the password and its confirmation mismatches, the second box is only shown in red, but no actual text next to it.

They are, but not through oneskyapp. If you give us translated name and description - we'll apply it.

Hi
We need a direct link to the page and screenshot of Stealth Mode page.

interestingly it seems the issue is gone with the latest alpha with no changes on my end. thank you for your attention.

 

[Blaz]

Regarding "Updates check result": Just a small text "Everything is up2date".

And there should be an option to disable that result window completely.

Some users don't like to see a window, they just want the latest things.


Regarding referer: One time you write "Referrer" and another "Referer".

"Why? Isn't it too obvious?"

It may be obvious, but other buttons also have tooltips.

Anyway you can't get to it if you don't know the password.

If the child sneaks up behind the parent while the parent is setting the password, the child can see the password.

They are, but not through oneskyapp. If you give us translated name and description - we'll apply it.

For German translation:

Adguard Assistant: Bietet einen einfachen und schnellen Weg das Filtern direkt aus dem Browser heraus zu verwalten

Adguard Popup Blocker: Blockiert Popup-Anzeigen auf Webseiten

Web of Trust: Zeigt Ihnen die Meinung von anderen Internet-Benutzern über jede Webseite an


BTW the beta versions of the extensions should have the same description as the stable ones.

Really hard to change the words order here. You can change MainWindowAdBlockerDescriptionTitle to "The Ad Blocker module" (the whole string will be bold).

Hmm, with the wrong word in bold it will look more stupid
I have to change the bold one (MainWindowAdBlockerDescriptionTitle) to e. g. "Ad Blocker:" to circumvent it and then "The module..."

Filter Protocol can be opened via tray menu, but where do I open it via main window?

You mean Filtering Log and Editor? They are too advanced for main window

 

[Blaz]

Still it should be possible to open those items through the main window or else it wouldn't be called "main".

 

[mysteriously]

I guess filters names translations has not been yet implemented. In Ad blocker -> Filters subscriptions. User filter, English filter names are in english.

When I set IP 0 and port 0 in proxy settings, it says it's correct. You can type a letter here and still correct Checked using polish language.

BTW: Filters update toolip should say "less than minute ago" instead of "0 minute ago"
