Issue Details
Screen Rotation Test:
Open AdGuard Browser and navigate to a video streaming website.
Play a video and attempt to rotate the device screen to the left and then to the right.
Observe if the screen rotates to both sides or just one.
Check if media control buttons (play/pause/seek) are visible after the rotation completes.
Try rotating the device rapidly from one side to another to check if the video reloads or if protection stops.
Video Download Test:
Navigate to a video download site (e.g., 1tamilmv).
Click the download button on the website.
Observe if the website layout breaks or if the download fails to initiate.
Check if there is any download status indicator or notification appearing.
Toggle AdGuard protection off and try downloading again to compare results.
Autofill Test:
Go to a website requiring a login.
Use the keyboard's autofill feature to enter credentials.
Observe the location where the password text appears.
Expected Behavior
Rotation: The screen should rotate smoothly to both landscape orientations (left and right). Media control buttons should remain visible on the screen at all times. Rotating the screen should not cause the video to reload or stop AdGuard protection.
Downloading: Clicking a download button should successfully trigger the video download, or at least show a status indicator (downloading/failed). The website layout should remain stable, and downloads should function correctly while AdGuard protection is enabled.
Autofill: The autofill feature should enter the password strictly into the password field, not into the browser's search/address bar.
Performance: The browser should load pages within a standard timeframe.
Actual Behavior
Rotation: The screen rotates only to one side (the other side is unresponsive). After rotation, media buttons often disappear. Rapid rotation causes the video to reload and unexpectedly stops AdGuard protection.
Downloading: The browser fails to download videos; there is no download notification or progress bar. On some sites, the page layout breaks when trying to download. Downloads only work correctly if AdGuard protection is turned off.
Autofill: When using autofill, the password is incorrectly typed into the search/address bar instead of the password field.
Performance: The browser takes an unusually long time to load initial pages.
