@deltaxsingh Hello there. Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the ad. Could you please go to the AdGuard filter log (4th tab --> resent activity) and clear the filter log (three dots in the top right corner --> clear)? Open the app, replay the ad, go to the filter log, take screenshots of the filter log and attach the screenshots to a comment on GitHub?

Here you go! It's ONLY in the Copilot app on Android. The website is clean!

Thank you for filtering the log! events.data.microsoft.com - used as an endpoint for many Microsoft applications and could not be blocked. Other bing domains important to the environment.

Could possibly be blocked: gateway.bingviz.microsoftapp.net

May I ask you to add this rule to the user rules with HTTPS filtering enabled for copilot and check if the ads appear? ||gateway.bingviz.microsoftapp.net^

@deltaxsingh Hello. Any news?

@deltaxsingh Hello. Any news?

Oh sorry I thought I responded. It did not work unfortunately.

@deltaxsingh It looks like the ads, content and functionality all come from the same resources. Unfortunately, we can't fix that, as blocking might mess up the functionality.

It's strange because in the web browser there are zero ads but in the app (which is basically a web wrapper) there are.

@deltaxsingh Do you have HTTPS filtering enabled for this app?

@deltaxsingh Do you have HTTPS filtering enabled for this app?

Yeah I also have a rooted device so I could move the certificate into the appropriate place using Magisk.

[jellizaveta]

@deltaxsingh does the web version have the same?

[deltaxsingh]

Adguard on my desktop and phone are setup exactly the same.

Desktop Web Browser: No ads Desktop app: Ads

Android Web Browser: No ads Android app: Ads

It's pretty odd if the content payload is bundled with ads, the web browser experience should be the same as the apps imo
