  2. Open the 'Protection' tab

Additional Information

Also,when browsing the interwebs, there are a lot of cookie popups that have been blocked in older versions of AdGuard, which makes me think that not all blocking lists are being used. Or maybe they dissappeared. That's why I wanted to check the filter lists.

Oh, and I did restart the computer after AdGuard updated.

Only idiots would use adguard 8.0. I gave up after using it for two days. There are too many bugs.

Nightly 4 still does not fix this issue.

Nightly 4 still does not fix this issue.

Is this issue resolved with Nightly 5?

I had to downgrade due to this issue and don't want to risk it again.

This issue remains in Nightly 5.

Thanks for checking, mate. Not sure why Adguard is not fixing this one as a priority, this makes the new app pretty much unusable in regards to Protection settings.

v8.0.5111 (Nightly 6) is still not fixed.

v8.0.5111 (Nightly 6) is still not fixed.

我注意到大多是中文用户提交了这个bug,是否尝试过用英文版Windows打开呢,有可能是字符编码问题

v8.0.5111 (Nightly 6) is still not fixed.

I noticed that most of the bugs were reported by Chinese users. Have you tried opening it with an English version of Windows? It may be a character encoding issue.

I'm a primary English user. It's not a character encoding issue. It's an issue with the app.

這不是重點,重點是他們應該修復這個錯誤。 That's not the point. The point is they should fix this error.

Additionally, the problem with nightly 8 still hasn't been resolved.

Guys, any luck with Nightly 9?

XBadFellaX avatar Aug 25 '25 19:08 XBadFellaX

Nope. Still broken.

RonKhondji avatar Aug 25 '25 19:08 RonKhondji

It seems that v8.0.5172 has fixed this issue. However, they still haven't resolved the issue of the extremely slow interface response, which is a major UX problem that cannot be ignored.

It seems that v8.0.5172 has fixed this issue. nice to read. @RonKhondji, @XBadFellaX, @SekiBetu please try with the latest nightly
