Avast site blocking is not functioning
« on: February 05, 2019, 07:52:31 AM »
There are two main problems with site blocking^

1. If I add any site to "blocked websites" list in new version of Avast - Avast is blocking gmail.com. Example - I added instagram.com to the list - and gmail.com was blocked too.
When I added sites in the old version of Avast interface - everythinh was ok.

2. I can't block youtube.com. Even of it is added to the list, I still has access to the site through Google Chrome.

Please help fixing this
