Granted, it has been a long time since I used AdGuard so it might have been able to do this for quite some time now. But I was looking at the website for Fastcopy when I saw the thread for it here on MT. And after I came back to the MT page I got a pop-up from AdGuard telling me it had automatically activated the Japanese Language specific filter? As far as I could see there were no Japanese ads, but then again that is what AdGuard is supposed to do, so there is that. :)

But I was until now unaware AdGuard could do that?

It has always been an option (3rd one in my (Dutch) screenshot) :

To be honest, this option only slows down browser and browsing the web. Because as you're surfing the web, you're visiting websites from all over the world. And we all know that too many filters have negative impact on the browsing speed and browser's resources.

What I'd like to see there is automatic unsubscribe on filter which weren't used for a longer time. That way the setting mentioned above would make sense.
