This is the official support thread for the add-on: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1334324384. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can leave them here.
If you’re familiar with GitHub, you can also create a ticket (specifically, a ticket; don’t ask a question there, as tickets are closed) in the official repository: GitHub - AndreyKaiu/advanced-browser-mod-kaiu-2026: An Anki add-on with an improved flashcard browser (by AnKing-VIP). Plus, language translation and other improvements.

Please reply in English (or, at the very least, in Russian, but that won’t be clear to everyone).

I’m not the original add-on’s creator!

I’m just tired of waiting for the add-on’s author to respond to a good suggestion to expand the functionality of the “persitent menu for multi-selection & add fields reset function” https://github.com/AnKing-VIP/advanced-browser/pull/187
I saw a lot of issues with the map overview, and since I like to highlight certain maps in color, I couldn’t do it comfortably with the standard overview.

What has changed in “advanced-browser-mod-kaiu-2026”

  • Fixed a bug where the menu wouldn’t fit many items (there were too many fields and they couldn’t be accessed).

  • The menu now always has three selection methods (excluding the “Use a single list for fields” setting): “- Current note fields -”, ​​"- Fields (all) -", “- Fields (in models) -” — this is more convenient when there are a lot of fields and note types.

  • The menu is now much more convenient, as you can select multiple items at once (author: “denny0810”, still unfulfilled request “persitent menu for multi-selection & add fields reset function #187”). Select as usual with the left mouse button and complete the selection with the right mouse button. There’s also an option to select the “- Fields Reset -” menu item, which will remove the main fields (not extended or system fields). This allows you to quickly reconfigure the display of the required columns.

You can read the full description on GitHub or in the addon description…

I had the issue that changing the deck of a card takes exceedingly long (freezes). Already calling the change-deck-function with a right-click takes long, and then actually changing the deck as well.
In such a situation, the task manager reports that one of the two python processes is not responding. After a minute or so, work resumes.

Also Anki starts up quite slowly..

After disabling the addon, the issue seems to have gone away (for now, I will notify you here if it reappears without the addon).

Version info:
⁨25.09.2 (3890e12c)⁩
Python 3.13.5 Qt 6.9.1 Chromium 122
Windows 11 25H2

Thanks for the message!
Proper communication with users is very important.

There’s a button in the Anki help for copying debug information.
I need everything after:
===Add-ons (active)===
(as you wrote before)

If you installed the Add-ons window add-on - :down_arrow:Sort, :artist_palette:Colors, :writing_hand:Hint https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1621264520 , you could save your settings like this:

Try working with just two add-ons. Of course, after each change to the add-on settings, you’ll need to restart Anki.

Then restore the state back to how it was:

I think it’s a coloring issue, but I’m not sure. These kinds of errors are hard to track down, especially when Anki itself sometimes doesn’t work consistently on Windows 11. It would be a good idea to try changing your video driver.

I disabled the extension, and re-enabled it. the issue did not reappear yet. I’ll report if it does.
