Facebook and Instagram cause Zen Browser to freeze completely

UPDATE: Just found the issue. It was Adguard all along, causing facebook and instagram not to load. Although I disabled the extension but I had adguard installed on windows and it was causing the trouble. However, the problem only occurs on Zen, and not on other browsers!

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Zen Browser.
  2. Visit either of these websites:https://www.facebook.com/ https://www.instagram.com/
  3. The page continues loading indefinitely.
  4. After this happens, the entire browser becomes unresponsive, and no other websites will open.
  5. Close Zen and try to reopen it.

When reopening the browser, I receive the following message:

“Zen is already running, but is not responding. The old Zen process must be closed to open a new window.”

After closing the old Zen process, the browser works normally again. However, the problem returns as soon as I open Facebook or Instagram.

Extensions and troubleshooting:

  • Extensions in use: AdGuard Browser Assistant, IDM Integration Module, linkding extension, Proton Pass: Free Password Manager, Return YouTube Dislike, SteamDB, Stylus
  • Tested with all extensions disabled: No
  • Tested with a new profile through about:profiles: Yes
  • Operating system: Windows 11 Pro (OS Build: 26200.9168)
  • Zen Browser version: 1.21.13b (64-bit)

Permanently suspended (MC999) minutes after my very first listings, no reason given, no way to appeal

Listed 2 completely brand new watches I got as gifts, each as a separate listing. Got permanently suspended (MC999) a few minutes later. These were my first ever listings; however, my account isn't new and I previously bought stuff from eBay(US).

This is the email I received:

>"Your eBay account has been suspended because recent account activity has raised security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm — even unintentionally — to the eBay community.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account."

No specifics, no explanation of what "security concerns" were triggered, just a blank suspension.

Called eBay support afterwards. The guy who answered my call was nice and supportive at first, until he checked with the relevant team. He then got cold with me, didn't provide any explicit reason for the suspension, and ended the conversation by saying there is no way this account can be reinstated.

I'm genuinely confused. I wasn't selling anything suspicious, just two watches I received as gifts, listed separately. My account has purchase history, so it's not like I was a brand new user with zero activity.

Nuvio Deserves More Appreciation — After Stremio introduced their supporter only features

After Stremio recently introduced its “Supporters-only” (Introducing Stremio Supporters) features behind a subscription paywall, my appreciation for Nuvio has grown even more. Every feature listed there is already available in Nuvio for free.

Huge thanks to the devs!

Import from Spotify playlist works partially

When I import a playlist from Spotify in the app using Qobuz + Tidal or SpotiFLAC, the app only imports a partial number of songs from the playlist, never the whole playlist. Is there any way to get the complete playlist?
