Happy with the turn on option of the multiple blocking of pop-ups coming from various countries (wording as the language spoken in the country, ie. Chinese, Russian, etc....). It is so annoying to search for something benign as a recipe and constant pop-ups repeated appear while you're viewing ingredient list. I have had to literally close out the annoying pop-ups over and over again without even quickly looking as the ingredient list because pop-ups appear that rapidly.

The addblock is nice. However, no matter what setting i turn off, there is no way to turn off background play. I have turned it off in the media settings, i have gone as far to turn it off in battery optimization, yet it still plays in the background no matter what i do. I don't like have to look down at my phone to pause a video instead of being able to just turn it off. It is irritating. fixed

been very unreliable lately. super slow. can't switch servers on mobile, it just auto connects to what seems like the worst possible option. forums are useless because they tell you to adjust settings that are not available. tried updating, no luck. seems like something is off or they need to check compatibility with older devices. I'm running circa 2021-2022 devices and it leaves a bit to be desired.
