For those who use Adguard Browser extension on Chrome or Firefox, beware of the following:
If you try to add a custom filter (i.e Steven Black hosts) and enable it, shortly after when you load a page it will then stop working and the browser becomes "frozen".

I opened an issue on Github about this:

No activity yet in Github. if any Adguard user in MT can recreate same issue, i suggest posting on the open issue in github (refer to previous post).

Either way, until they fix this issue, I will not use the extension and have already reverted to uBlock Origin.

They seem to have closed the issue on github.

This was the answer on github from Adguard Team:

looks like they answered but then why exactly do we have custom filter option in the extension? ill respond on github accordingly.

Safe to say I will continue to use UBlock Orgin since that extension does suppor custom filters.

I have Adguard lifetime license but I do not want to have it use constant resources.
