The "design" is irrelevant - how it works is everything. After using this for several years, it is now having problems blamed on hosts. If the OP could find a way to fix that, I and many others would be very happy with the traditional layout - who cares about the sizes of boxes and layout of then.
Too much time on wasted time.
Most users do not understand how hosts files work.
Add Magisk (even SuperSU) systemless root into it and they are more confused.
It's a simple learning process, they do not know so someone has to teach them.
Quite a few members/visitors do not read the OP or even parts of the thread, especially if it is thousands of pages. Heck half of the xda members never read the rules.
Most Google users are surprised when you point out something in the
Google License Agreement they acknowledged and agreed to.
So you can
NOT fault the developer(s) for user error or ignorance.
Ignorance is used in proper form (lack of knowledge) not as derogatory statement.
Yeah - whoever came up adb and fastboot interfaces didn't care either...
If the app was using command line, then I agree.
No graphical UI no problem. -
This app does though.
When a graphical UI is being used, it has to be user friendly
.
The UI changes to 5.x is a nice change and like everything (including me/myself and I) has room for improvement.
If not why would Android/BSD/Linux/Unix even be updated ???
Before you start bashing the development, take a look at the actual development being focused on.

And remember, beside contributions from the community, there are only two currently maintaining AdAway.

General
PSA.
Just remember most of the Android community are developers that offer their knowledge, time, files and builds that they personally make and use to the rest of us.
If we have an error that they do not, they try to make it right and correct it to help or make it work for us also. They have no reason, beside the willingness to offer.
A donation or sponsorship (if accepted) helps.
A simple
Thank You or
I appreciate or
Good Job here and there helps quite a bit..
Reporting a problem is fine.
Requesting a change or adding a feature is fine.
Start
Demanding or
Degrading well...
I think even the average user would say ***** I'm out of here.
Cheers all.
