Thanks so much, I was just saying yesterday that I was waiting for a stable release of 6 before trying it again! Almost there! Have 2 lifetime licenses so I can wait til it's a final release!

Is this free?

No, not free.

Watch for bargains on the licenses - they had 50% off for black friday.

Adguard is so effective in Stealth Mode that my bank is unable to determine that it is me accessing my account; they request that I do not use it when using on-line banking.

Adguard is so effective in Stealth Mode that my bank is unable to determine that it is me accessing my account; they request that I do not use it when using on-line banking.

That's why stealth mode is disabled by default in this version. We can and should change it in some way. At least we should mark dangerous features like blocking all third party cookies. In fact, instead of blocking third party cookies we will implement a "Self-destructing third party cookies". For instance, let them live for 30 minutes.

My post was not complaint about Stealth Mode; it was statement that Adguard is extremely effective.

I just disable Stealth Mode when accessing online banking.

Afterwards, I re-enable.

WebRTC blocking is enabled by default, right?
This can also create issues with some websites, right?

The whole Stealth Mode module is disabled by default. But if you enable it, WebRTC is enabled also.

WebRTC now is usually used for some experiments, I've never seen serious websites relying on it.

Bank detects Adguard as Tor Browser - which makes me quite happy.

I would like to see 30-minute destruction of 3rd-party cookies as an option instead of lessening Stealth Mode's current high capabilities.

Better yet, user adds specific URL (e.g. online banking URL) to "Safe List" inside Adguard. When browser loads that webpage, Adguard detects the URL and disables Stealth Mode until the user surfs away from URL or closes the browser. After surfing away or closing browser, Stealth Mode auto-re-activates.

Wouldn't whitelist for Stealth Mode be better than deactivating/reactivating?

It would be more convenient.

I just have to disable\re-enable when I visit\leave online banking website.

Otherwise, I use full Stealth Mode with all settings enabled.
