Based on #22 (comment), it might be worth having the firewall whitelist (for browsers & internals like Google Play services) be updatable just like the filters, with toggled default settings. It does seem a little overkill to have to update an entire APK just to add them, considering the # & frequency of new browsers.

In a related idea, is it sensible to use an app store's own browser list, e.g., Amazon's (if GPlay has 1 I can find, I'll post here, too), as a kind of automated master list of browsers, to which you folks can manually add that which isn't listed? Just trying to make this labor "UNintensive" as possible!

Anyway we'll need to review that list manually. Look at that list, there are not only browsers

The whole point of browser-list is that in free version ads are blocked only in browsers. If user will have the ability to edit that list the free version will become paid version.
And because we are aimed to release new versions frequently - we don't need to update that list online.

Anyway looks like a good idea to me, usually there's at least 1 month between versions release.

If you think it's too hard to implement right now, let's plan it later

Of course, this is true. I meant for AdGuard team's use only! ☺

There is that problem, instead. I posted that only as an example, anyway, but I'll keep looking for a better list & post if/when I find such.… ☺

Wikipedia has 1 also, just as a note, though not readily current.

Here is GPlay's list of recommended mobile browsers, though this list seems less updated than Wikipedia's above.

I am a bit sick of adding https exclusions all the time, so we'll do https whitelist update earlier than it was planned:
