Please answer the following questions so that we can process your bug report, otherwise, we may have to ignore it.
Also, please put your name, or a screen name, and your email above so that we can contact you if needed.
If you don't want your report to be made public, check that box, too.

Can you provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem?

  1. Go to AdBlock Options -> Customize -> Show ads everywhere, except for this domain / show ads on a webpage or domain
  2. Type in websites/domains, according to the format
  3. Restart the browser - all the lists are empty.

What should happen when you do the above steps

The filters do not reset.

What actually happened?

The filters reset.

Do you have any other comments? If you can, can you please attach a screenshot of the bug?

--- The questions below are optional but VERY helpful. ---

If unchecking all filter lists fixes the problem, which one filterlist must you check to cause the problem again after another restart?

Technical Chrome users: Go to chrome://extensions ->Developer Mode -> Inspect views: background page -> Console. Paste the contents here:

    Hi Aleksandr,

    If AdBlock's settings are being reset, here are two common reasons this can happen:

    • You're using a cookie, disk, or file cleaning program such as Ccleaner. Make sure it doesn't remove localStorage files or other browser-related files, because it might be deleting AdBlock's settings.

    • Your Chrome profile might have become corrupted. First, try reinstalling AdBlock. Just close the payment page when it opens.
      If that doesn't resolve the issue, create a new Chrome profile.

    If neither of these suggestions helps, please feel free to reopen the discussion by replying to this email. Thanks!
