You try to add the extension, it appears to install okay. Then it forces a webpage that says "You're almost done" which you can't get rid of, then it says pick the puzzle icon then click the pin icon and that does nothing and you either don't have the browser guard or you have to way to turn it on.

Stops one from being logged in on NYTimes.com even if you turn off the tracker/ad blocking toggle for the site. Not great so far.

Can't disable for certain sites. No functioning blocking element feature like Adguard MV3 Beta. Some sites detect this adblock need filter for that. No details on items blocked. Needs work. So far, Adguard MV3 and Ghostery MV3 are better than this.

I'm having the same issue as KC 1920. This version is supposed to work with Manifest v3 requirements but I keep getting a popup about rule limits and no matter what I do (uninstall, reinstall, select which ones to use and what not to use, etc). It's a shame because I did like this extension but getting harassed everyday by the popup makes it unusable.
