The performance should be greatly improved. Our code had an issue with single threading that was causing a gridlock which we’ve now updated to multi-threading.
I have only ınstalled Comodo Dragon and Cyberfox (x64). These are enabled and OK.
But I have no other browsers but also they are “Enabled” in PrivDog setting. It looks strange to me. Maybe you want to look ,nto it.
Problem 2:
Privdog still cannot protect and blocks ads in Comodo Dragon 33.1
Problem 3:
I already reported in previous alpha release. I opt-out (disabled) “Replace Ad-Trust Media Ads” on installition but after opening the panel. It looks enabled again. even I disabled on installition. Plese fix it.
Problem 4:
After installition, Control Panle shortcut did not appear on desktop. Even I cannot see on Quick Start menu. I have to search on Program Files folder.
Thanks for the update, these are what I found in first look.
I’ll give you a new build on Monday with this working. It’s a simple one value change that we found with the final build but I decided to release the Alpha and list it as a known issue.
Hi,
Let’s start with Problem 2 :). Do you have the privdog extension disabled? Because otherwise privdog application will not block/replace ads, the extension will do that first.
I have no adblocker extension on the browsers with Privdog Alpha. I know this in previous release. I deleted my adblocker from browser to check Privdog Alpha.
I am running SRWare Iron version 37.0.2000.0 on Windows 7 x64.
I found that although the PrivDog process is started very quickly after restarting the computer, that if I start the browser fast enough no ads will be blocked for a while. It seems that the PrivDog protection takes a while to load, even though all extensions work as expected, including Adblock Plus (if I were to enable it).
Below are specific instructions to test this.
Before restarting computer make sure browser is open on a page with ads which will be removed and that the browser is set to automatically start on that page.
Restart computer.
As computer is starting up keep an eye on the connection icon, and as soon as you see that there is a connection choose to start the browser.
The browser/pages may take a while to load, but when the page finally does load the ads will be shown as normal and there will be no PrivDog icon in the lower right corner.
After a few minutes, and refreshing the page multiple times, the Privdog icon will reappear and ads will be blocked as expected. However, this is only after a few minutes.
Just in case this issue is specific to my system please feel free to ask me for any relevant system information.
