So I found out what cause hxxps://www3.gogoanime.se/ to broken. The culprit is the English filter enabled in AdGuard, how can I whitelist this site from English filter only? It is annoying thar I have manually turn off English filter to view all anime episodes each time I visit this site.

I suppose you have tried the AdGuard logger to identify the block. I know that's not simple as I'm stymied in my own way dealing with the recent "Messages for web" feature added to Android Messages.

I have found that Adguard Ad-blocker (extension) sometimes breaks websites or hides elements that are needed for the user.

@SumTingWong If you have time, can you test the website with uBlock Origin?
I agree, the break on his page was caused by an additional rule in English filter which is not present in Easylist

ublock is the best. Or he can disable english filter and enable Easylist in adguard

What filter I need to enable on Ublock Origin? Any recommend filters? I would love to switch over Ublock Origin.

Easylist or English filter (english is the same as adguard and can break your website)
Adblock Warning Removal List
Fanboy’s Enhanced Tracking List
Adguard’s Annoyance List

Do I have to copy and paste them on custom in Ublock?
the first 4 filters, you can enable in ublock main UI, they are default filters, you can disable most other filters

other filters, scroll down to the bottom, click import, copy the links of those filters to the box and click apply

for user filters, you have to copy and paste similarly to adguard. Go to the tab My filters

I just copy those 6 links and paste it to custom import, but the problem is it doesn't block the ads on hxxp://www.gogoanime.to/

what ads? I don't see any. Did you enable easylist?
in my setting, I use adguard english filter instead of easylist but the result should be similar

EDIT: sorry, english filter blocked the ads but easylist failed to block the ads on both sides

you can disable easylist and add english filter here

The ads on both sides. These are the filters that I enabled in Ublock:
1) Built in
Ublock filter, ublock filters - anonyances, ublock filters - badware risk, ublock filters - privacy, ublock filters - resource abuse, ublock filters - unbreak,
2) Ads
Adblock Warning Removal List, EasyList
3) Privacy
EasyPrivacy
4) Malware Domains
Malware domain list, malware domains
5) Annoyances
Adguard's annoyance list
Fanboy's annoyance list
6) multi-purpose
Peter low's ad and tracking server list

looks good
however, easylist simply misses the ads
only english filter can block it because it has a special rule which is made specifically for that website by the developer. It can't be blocked by any generic filters
english filter = easylist + adguard extra filters

you can add the english filter in my post above and remove easylist

try adguard base filter to see whether ads get blocked or not on that website

@yitworths AdGuard Some of the anime on hxxp://www.gogoanime.to/category/new-release image doesn't display at all with Adguard English filter.

Adguard base filter broke hxxps://www3.gogoanime.se/( cannot view available episodes) and hxxp://www.gogoanime.to/category/new-release(Some image can't display at all).

then we may conclude problem is directly related with adguard's english filter. As for now, you at least have one workaround for gogoanime.se.
Adguard should re-edit their filter, you may open a ticket in github- don't know how effective that would be.
