Removed: Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin
Added: Adguard for Windows lifetime

Trying the release candidate for v6 and liking it.
I haven't used Adguard on Windows (uBlock Origin is enough, since I want to concentrate my ad-filtering only in my browser) but I have been using it on my Android phone (proxy mode) and so far it has blocked ~3200 ads across the traffic of all of my applications, which total 92 megabytes.

All in all, this was a good update.
Adguard sure is worth it. :p

Yeah I like adguard for windows a lot, I just switch back and forth as sometimes Adguard will break things that uBlock does not. Probably user error on my part =)

You're most probably right about Adguard breaking stuff, but uBlock Origin can also break webpages or webpage elements (its filters are much more aggressive than AdBlock Plus) though I haven't experienced anything like this so far.

Best page breaker for me is User agent spoofer with header/referer spoofer turned ON, you should try visiting rollback rx website, you will be surprised.:D

Aw, I just tried with firefox + Random Agent Spoofer with spoof referrer turned on + adguard for windows all running and it didn't break the rollback rx site. What does it do to you? Maybe if I tried chrome instead?

Updated config to hopefully comply with the new guidelines. Haven't been on for awhile =)

Any reason to disable Smartscreen and not using a password? disabling them open some holes in your security.
