Websites where the AdGuard Assistant is not shown
- Thread starter ag_bug_finder
- Start date
Can confirm this, we should see if anything can be done here.
Can't reproduce in any of browsers you mention here. Can you provide a screenshot maybe, preferrably one where this "floating icons" phrase is visible?
Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the poor description of the "floating icons.....Will try to be more descriptive.......
If you mouse over and place the cursor on the "headline"(link to) of the story....you will get a "floating box" immediately to the left of the story. The box will contain icons for FB, Twitter and Instagram. If you move the cursor down to the next story the box will disappear and then reappear to the next headline you have moused over...... In other words if you move to click a headline the box will appear. When you click the story the "box" disappears......Hope this clarifies my original post....Thanks for your time...

This is not really urgent, since the site has no ads. I was just answering the call to report sites where the assistant doesn't show.

Sorry that it took so long. There is definitely a problem here, we need to have a closer look. The issue has been created:

Any possibility of putting some of the assistant functions into the adguard taskbar icon/menu? I encounter this often and cannot do anything because I can't pull up the assistant functions. I think I'd be ok with block element, add exception and do not block for 30 seconds. In all honestly I appreciate what you guys did with the assistant, but do we really need it when the taskbar icon/menu is just 20 pixels away?
@spinedoc777 there are as many opinions as there are users, many prefer Assistant. And, by the way, Assistant is about to undergo a huge revamp, lots of new stuff will be added - like dragging its icon anywhere on the page. And duplicating all Assistant functions in tray menu would be too clunky.
Just tried jarock.pl with the 6.2 beta and it still doesn't appear. There's an uncaught internal server error for the Assistant listed in the browser's console (in addition to other errors on that site). Maybe it's something that will be fixed in the upcoming Adguard Assistant 4.0?
The jarock.pl task was closed as a duplicate, we have a more general task about XMLHttpRequest protection: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/1434
Resolving it will fix the Assistant on jarock.pl as well.

Not just Edge.
I reported the issue for Chrome as well, and it was fixed.
Well, by fixed the Assistant added Outlook as an exclusion so it doesn't show there. If anything it's hopefully a temporary fix until the main issue is properly fixed.

I get it, I like assistant too. But there are just too many webpages where it will not show up, making its functionality useless. I'm simply asking to put some of that functionality into the taskbar icon menu. I think I'd like that much more than being able to drag the icon anywhere.
@spinedoc777 you can use the browser extension in integration mode if you want to.
By the way, what are those websites where the Assistant doesn't work? Maybe it can be fixed at least in some cases.
