Advance Settings

  • You need enable the advance settings by checkmark the "I am an advanced user (required reading)" box.
  • set assetFetchTimeout to 60 if your connections cannot fast enough to fetch filterlist under timeout time. (mostly useful for slow 2G/3G mobile data)
  • set suspendTabsUntilReady to yes to make sure the browsing windows or tab will not be loaded before filterlists cache is initialized.

    in legacy version, you might change the word to true instead.
