Hi, I'm the Community Manager for AdBlock. We're getting reports from our users that AdBlock's settings (options, subscribed filter lists, and custom filters) aren't saved when they exit Edge. We've traced this to Ccleaner. AdBlock's settings are stored in Local Storage, specifically the path:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\#!003\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DOMStore\******\EdgeExtension_BetaFishAdBlock_c1wakc4j0nefm[1].xml
(The "******" varies.)
I noticed that the name of the XML file is the same as a cookie I find when I search for "adblock" in Ccleaner's cookies list.
I tried excluding %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\#!003\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\DOMStore\, but Ccleaner still resets all AdBlock settings to the default the next time I launch Edge.
I also tried excluding %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC; same result.
Finally, I tried moving the cookie EdgeExtension_BetaFishAdBlock_c1wakc4j0nefm to the Keep column. Again, same result.
What do we need to advise our users to exclude to prevent their AdBlock settings from being removed when Ccleaner is run?
Thanks in advance for your help!
