Versionsgeschichte | AdGuard

Ab dieser Version wird der DNS-Schutz für Benutzer, die die App gerade installiert haben, standardmäßig aktiviert. Standardmäßig verwendet AdGuard den DNS-Server Ihres Internetanbieters, aber Sie können einen anderen DNS-Server aus der Liste auswählen oder Ihren eigenen hinzufügen. Um die DNS-Filterung einzurichten oder den DNS-Schutz zu deaktivieren, gehen Sie zu Einstellungen → DNS.

Wir haben auch die polnischen Übersetzungen aktualisiert, kleinere Fehler behoben und unsere wichtigsten Filter-Engines — CoreLibs und DNSLibs — aktualisiert.

Fehlende polnische Übersetzungen im Safari Browser-Assistenten #1174

In dieser Version haben wir einige lästige Fehler behoben, so dass Sie AdGuard für Mac jetzt problemlos unter macOS 13 Public Beta installieren können. Außerdem wurden CoreLibs und DnsLibs aktualisiert, ebenso wie DNS-Stempel für DNSCrypt.

Änderungsprotokoll

[Verbesserung] CoreLibs auf v1.10.135 aktualisiert #1161

[Verbesserung] DnsLibs auf v2.0.58 aktualisiert #1162

[Behoben] Installationsprobleme auf macOS 13 Public Beta #1116

[Behoben] Einige regexp-Regeln, die nicht funktionierten #1688

Wir freuen uns, AdGuard v2.9.0 für Mac präsentieren zu können. Diese Version bietet viele Änderungen und Verbesserungen, die den Beta-Test bestanden haben und jetzt für alle Benutzer:innen verfügbar sind.

Bevor wir die wichtigsten Änderungen dieser Version auflisten, sollten wir darauf hinweisen, dass AdGuard für Mac unter macOS 10.12 (Sierra) nicht mehr unterstützt wird. Für AdGuard v2.9.0 ist die minimal erforderliche Version von macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), und ab der nächsten Version wird macOS 10.15 (Catalina) die niedrigste unterstützte Version sein.

[Verbesserung] Eine Option zum Hinzufügen von Regeln über Filter-Protokoll wurde implementiert #925

Wir haben endlich eine lang erwartete Funktion implementiert: Sie können jetzt direkt aus dem Filter-Protokoll Regeln hinzufügen. Öffnen Sie einfach das Filter-Protokoll, wählen Sie die Anfragezeile aus, doppelklicken Sie darauf, drücken Sie die Schaltfläche Blockieren oder Entsperren und wählen Sie dann die Art der Regel, die Sie hinzufügen möchten. Klicken Sie schließlich auf die Schaltfläche Regel hinzufügen. Die Benutzerregel wird hinzugefügt sein!

[Verbesserung] Proxy-Einstellungen in den Abschnitt Netzwerk verschoben #734

Wir haben die Proxy-Einstellungen aus den Erweiterten Einstellungen in den Netzwerk-Abschnitt in den App-Einstellungen verschoben. Jetzt ist es einfacher, AdGuard so einzurichten, dass er sich mit einem ausgehenden Proxy-Server verbindet. Eine Anleitung zur Einrichtung eines eigenen Proxy-Servers und dessen Verwendung mit AdGuard finden Sie übrigens in unserem Blog.

[Verbesserung] Eine neue Registerkarte Protokollierung wurde zum Menü Erweitert hinzugefügt logging_item_de

Jetzt können Sie eine Protokollierungsebene auswählen, Protokolle und Systeminformationen exportieren und Protokolle zurücksetzen — und das alles auf derselben Registerkarte. Wir möchten Sie daran erinnern, dass Sie nur dann zur Protokollierungsebene Debug wechseln sollten, wenn unser Support-Team Sie darum bittet, ansonsten verwenden Sie die Ebene Standard.

Wichtige Aktualisierung von CoreLibs und DnsLibs

Diese Version enthält wichtige Updates für CoreLibs und DnsLibs. In CoreLibs v1.10.113 gibt es nun eine Option, um DNS-over-HTTPS zu filtern, sowie Unterstützung für den $jsonprune-Modifikator. Regeln mit dem Modifikator $stealth können nun einige Privatsphären-Modus-Optionen deaktivieren, einschließlich „Schutz vor DPI“. Wir haben auch die Scriptlets-Bibliothek aktualisiert.

Eine erheblich aktualisierte Version der DNS-Filterbibliothek DnsLibs 2.0.30 verbraucht jetzt weniger Ressourcen und läuft schneller. Die Implementierung des DNS-over-QUIC-Protokolls unterstützt jetzt den RFC 9250-Standard, und der experimentelle Status wurde von der DoQ-Unterstützung entfernt.

Natürlich haben wir nicht nur globale Probleme gelöst, sondern auch eine Menge kleinerer Probleme behoben, die das ordnungsgemäße Funktionieren von AdGuard verhindert haben. Wir hoffen, dass Sie AdGuard für Mac v2.9.0 genießen werden!

Wir haben die letzte Version nur vor kurzem veröffentlicht, aber es scheint so, als wären wir echte Perfektionisten. Im neuen Patch haben wir Bugs mit der DNS-Filterung und kleine UI-Mängel behoben. Wie immer haben wir CoreLibs aktualisiert. Und dazu ein paar Verbesserungen vorgenommen, damit alles auf jeden Fall perfekt funktioniert.

Änderungsprotokoll

[Verbesserung] CoreLibs auf 1.9.62 aktualisiert

[Behoben] AdGuard stürzt manchmal beim Importieren von DNS-Regeln/Domänen ab

[Behoben] App stürzt bei fehlerhafter Datenbank ab

[Behoben] AdGuard erkennt kein DNS-Profil

[Behoben] Verhalten der Bildlaufleiste im Abschnitt „Gefilterte Anwendungen“

Die vorherige Version von AdGuard für Mac wurde kurz vor Weihnachten veröffentlicht, während diese pünktlich zu Ostern herauskommt — eine lustige Sache :) Diese Version bietet drei wichtige Funktionen, die wir Ihnen gerne vorstellen möchten. Erstens: die lang ersehnte Funktion zum Exportieren/Importieren von Einstellungen. Diese Funktion ist bereits in allen AdGuard-Produkten außer der macOS-Version implementiert. Und jetzt ist sie auch für macOS-Nutzer:innen vorhanden.

Zweitens sehen Sie jetzt mehr Dialogfenster bei der Installation von AdGuard. Da Sie wahrscheinlich Fragen haben, möchten wir Ihnen das erklären: während der Installation fordert der Adblocker eine Reihe von Berechtigungen an und ändert die Konfiguration Ihres Systems. Darüber hinaus generiert und installiert das Programm ein Zertifikat, das dann zur Durchführung der HTTPS-Filterung verwendet wird. Dies ist für die Qualitätsfilterung sehr wichtig, und gute Filterung ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum Sie AdGuard überhaupt installiert haben. Also, in diesen Dialogfenstern betonen wir noch einmal unsere Politik: trotz der angefragten Berechtigungen verwenden wir sie zu keinem anderen Zweck als der Werbe-Filterung auf Ihrem System.

Außerdem haben wir eine Option hinzugefügt, die hoffentlich Ihre Online-Sicherheit verbessern wird — Anti-DPI. Damit wird teilweise verhindert, dass die Deep Packet Inspection-Systeme Ihres Internetanbieters die von Ihnen besuchten Websites erkennen.

Das waren die Hauptpunkte dieser Version, aber wir haben auch einige kleinere Fehler behoben (ein besonders merkwürdiges Problem mit dem Assistentensymbol, das grau wurde, obwohl es eigentlich aktiv war) und dann CoreLibs und DNSLibs aktualisiert. Wir hoffen, diese Änderungen gefallen Ihnen!

We’re back with a patch less than a week. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as the saying goes. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. This patch provides a few bug fixes and improvements. Hopefully, the new version makes things better.

[Fixed] Mail.app account switched offline #965

Sometimes traffic of non-filtered protocols in filtered apps was corrupted due to a bug. That might break IMAP connections in the Apple Mail app. As a result, users of AdGuard for Mac could not access their email accounts, they showed “Offline” in the preferences. Luckily, we managed to fix this issue at the earliest possible time, so now AdGuard users shouldn’t have any trouble with receiving emails.

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard DNS crashing after waking MacBook Pro up from sleep mode #962

[Enhancement] Add Sidekick to the list of default browsers #938

[Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to 1.8.221 #971

[Enhancement] Update DnsLibs to 1.6.58 #970

It took us 7 months from the previous minor release to prepare this one. Remarkably, the previous big release took place almost exactly a year ago, on October 12, 2020. That’s a substantial period of time, so we can’t help but hold our breath when we present the new version of AdGuard for Mac. It delivers such features as DNS filtering, native Apple silicon support, and Monterey support. The first two ones have been used by beta testing enthusiasts for a long time now, but today we’ve finally got to the release point, so the features will be available for all users.

DNS filtering support #685

We've used the same approach as in AdGuard for Windows, Android, and iOS, bringing to the app for Mac DNS servers, DNS blocklists and allowlists. One of feature requests from users was adding DNSCrypt, DoH, and DoT support. Finally, it's all there, DoT included. AdGuard DNS has become the first public DNS resolver to support the cutting-edge DNS-over-QUIC protocol. Now you needn't rely on a DNS server provided by your ISP by default, you can choose DNS servers from known DNS providers and add custom DNS servers. You can also add domains to DNS blocklist or allowlist and add complicated rules using DNS rules syntax. Besides, you can add DNS filters of your choice. You can find various filters and links to them here.

Native Apple Silicon support #801

Another great news is that we're added М1 support, now AdGuard for Mac is fully optimized to run on Apple Silicon.

macOS Monterey support #875

macOS Monterey is the latest version coming this fall. We did our best to make AdGuard v2.6 for Mac work seamlessly with macOS Monterey. All you need to do is wait for the newest macOS 12 to be released – to try AdGuard on it, among other things :)

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard no longer filters Brave Browser on Big Sur #746

[Fixed] AdGuard cannot detect that AdGuard Browser Assistant is installed in Chrome #907

Changelog

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to v1.7.200 #841

[Fixed] Crash in AGNEVpnRouteResolver::refreshRoutingTable() #1416

This is a rather uncharacteristic update for AdGuard for Mac. There's no real headliner, but instead a bunch of bugfixes, low-scale improvements, and localization updates. Important! Starting with this update, AdGuard will only work on macOS 10.12+. Unfortunately, the older macOS versions do not have capabilities to support the advanced techniques we use in our filtering engine.

Changelog

[Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to 1.7.189 #835

[Fixed] Some text strings on the initial setup screen are clipped #785

[Fixed] Opera browser isn't filtered in Network extension mode #800

[Other] Added AdGuard Browser Assistant extension support in Edge browser

Today we are launching a small but still very important hotfix. Namely, the compatibility with the new Chrome 87 was improved and the CoreLibs was updated.

[Other] ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on some websites #1374

This week Chrome 87 was released, which has a compatibility problem with AdGuard when using the HTTP/2 filtering protocol - some sites may experience regular hangs and download errors. In this update we have improved HTTP/2 filtering compatibility with Chrome 87, it is recommended to upgrade to the new stable version as soon as possible. :)

[Fixed] BigSur: AdGuard can't start protection in Network Extension filtering mode because of codeSignatureInvalid error

Also in this update, the issue which many Big Sur users encountered was fixed. AdGuard network extension couldn't pass the authenticity verification of the developer's signature. Because of that, it was impossible to turn the Network Extension mode on and to enable AdGuard protection.

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard stops working after the system is out of sleep #781

[Fixed] Change the KEXT behavior in case of a change of user #769

[Other] Protection switch is stuck after system update

[Other] Update CoreLibs to 1.7.150 #787

This patch is simple and clear: only four fixes in the main changelog and three ones in the CoreLibs section. In case you've never heard of it, CoreLibs is our filtering engine that affects filtering quality of our apps so we try to upgrade it regularly.

Changelog

[Fixed] The DeepL app won't connect #763

[Fixed] No HTTPS connectivity in browser #755

[Fixed] Nord VPN breaks connection when AdGuard uses KEXT

[Fixed] AdGuard blocks Facebook images from loading

[Fixed] Issues with web filtering

[Enhancement] Improved behavior in Proxy mode when server addresses are partly unavailable #123

The biggest thing about AdGuard v2.5 for Mac is better compatibility with Big Sur. Thanks to adoption of System Extensions, AdGuard will work better on the newest macOS iteration — read below to find out the details. Other than that, we made a lot of changes and enhancements to CoreLibs, which will result in an overall better filtering quality.

[Enhancement] System Extensions support in Big Sur #692

First of all, what are System Extensions? It all started in 2019 when Apple decided to minimize the amount of code that's executed in kernel. The old framework — Kernel Extensions — was declared as deprecated. As an alternative, Apple offered System Extensions, and specifically Network Extensions as a framework for apps that filter traffic.

In macOS 11 (Big Sur), the old Kernel Extensions will not be supported (partly or at all), so we are adding support for the new framework. If you're already on Big Sur preview, make sure your AdGuard works in Network Extensions mode: open AdGuard's menu -> Select Preferences... -> Network -> Select Mode.... "Kernel Extension" mode should be grayed out, and "Network Extension" mode should be selected.

Unfortunately, as a replacement for Kernel Extensions, Network Extensions aren't around for long yet (they first appeared in this role in macOS 10.15). They are still being actively developed by Apple, so there is a significant amount of various issues associated with them. If you're facing any, please check out our problem solving guide.

Here comes AdGuard for Mac 2.4! Two betas served as cornerstones for this new version and we are glad to present it to you five months after the previous release.

The biggest thing that has changed here is the new Assistant. CoreLibs has traditionally been updated, too, which enhanced filtering quality. In other aspects, 2.4 is more of a bugfix release. We cleaned it from the recurrent problems of the previous versions, polished it up, so it works nice and smooth.

[Enhancement] The old Assistant has been replaced with a native Assistant browser extension #669, #670

AdGuard Browser Assistant is a new browser extension that simultaneously takes over the roles of the old Assistant and of the integration mode. We definitely support the functional approach, so we thought: why distribute workload between two old tools when one new extension can handle it better? Now let us tell you what AdGuard Browser Assistant is capable of.

What can you do with the help of the Assistant? Enable/disable filtering on the current webpage, manually block any element on the page, reporting the website if something goes wrong or view the filtering log. Now you have all these features without the limitations that appeared in the integration mode or in the old Assistant.

When you install AdGuard for Mac for the first time (or update it to the new version), the Safari Assistant will be installed automatically. If you use another browser, you can download the Assistant at this link. Or, you can install the Assistant for your default browser via app settings or during the onboarding process.

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.163 #662

What makes a good ad blocker update? New features? We added custom userscripts support and activation via personal account — check. Improved ad blocking quality? There’s a CoreLibs update and support for new modifiers — check. Fixes to known bugs? It’s all here, and it’s for you to enjoy!

[Added] Custom userscripts support #11

Userscripts, or “extensions” as we also call them, are highly useful mini-programs that change the behavior of web pages. Every AdGuard for Mac user probably knows about at least some of the extensions added by default, for example, AdGuard Assistant or Popup Blocker.

Now you have an option to add any custom extensions by clicking on the plus symbol in the “Extensions” tab of AdGuard settings window. You are able to load userscripts either from a local file or by URL.

[Added] Option to activate AdGuard by logging into your personal account #588

This is something we’ve already tried with some of the other AdGuard products, and it proved to be a useful addition. Basically, instead of entering a license key directly, you can link your adguard.com personal account to the app by entering the credentials, and AdGuard will automatically get activated if there’s at least one eligible license key in your account.

[Added] Scriptlets support

Scriptlets is a powerful ad blocking instrument. You can say that scriptlet is an internal script (a mini-program) that we install with the app, and then execute that script with the help of filtering rules. Putting it simply, scriptlets allow us to modify how the code of the web page behaves. As for the practical use, this helps to block anti-ad blockers, for example, and in some other cases.

[Added] $redirect and $rewrite modifiers support

They are practically the same modifiers, and they allow to substitute resources. If you are not a custom filtering rules aficionado, don't bother with it. Just know that it is yet another instrument in the hands of filter developers that helps block ads more efficiently.

We should mention that both $redirect and $rewrite modifiers are still kind of working in test mode, but they are fully operational and you should feel free to use them.

[Added] “Trusted” flag for custom filters #521

[Changed] Edge icons have been updated #641

[Changed] Opera Beta and Opera Dev added to the list of apps filtered by default #621

[Fixed] “Untrusted CA certificate” issue #596

[Fixed] Custom userscripts can’t resolve URLs with non-English symbols #640

[Improved] Installer icon updated to match the app’s icons #584

[Improved] Voiceover accessibility #634

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.130 #645

[Improved] AdGuard now can parse Last modified parameter of custom filters #409

[Improved] Localizations have been updated

Recently, many Chrome-based browsers have rolled out their respective updates. Due to some technical peculiarities behind these updates, AdGuard for Mac became unable to filter these browsers’ traffic. Obviously, we couldn’t sit on our hands till the next scheduled release and came up with an urgent hotfix.

This update will not blow you away, unless you are really, really into bugfixes and under the hood improvements. But those we have aplenty, especially when it comes to CoreLibs filtering engine. As a result, the new Mac version works faster and blocks ads better than its predecessor, but lacks bit in the wow-factor: the only new feature is, admittedly, rather tame.

[Added] Automatic filter subscriptions detection #279

Most filters have “subscribe” buttons on their homepages or in other places. From now on, AdGuard will be able to intercept click on such links and offer you to add these filters to the app. It’s not much perhaps, but it’s a nice thing to have and it certainly won’t hurt anyone 🙂

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.4

There are over 50 bugfixes and improvements in this new CoreLibs version. Some notable examples:

AdGuard doesn't unnecessarily reset cookies anymore. Previously it could lead to such problems as spontaneous sign outs, which was especially irritating for websites like Twitch or YouTube.

Protection restart doesn't require closing connections anymore. Before v2.1, protection restarts could sometimes cause the interruption of your ongoing downloads, issues with online games etc.

Several issues with upload speed have been resolved.

Overall, AdGuard for Mac is now faster and much more stable than it used to be.

[Fixed] No internet connection with custom DNS in DNSCrypt #528

[Fixed] adguard-tcpkill process constantly crashes on macOS Catalina #530

[Fixed] “Reset Settings” option hangs the app #543

[Fixed] iTunes Store access issue #552

[Fixed] Compatibility issues

[Improved] Algorithm for automatic language filters activation #513

[Improved] Automatic detection of certificate issues in Firefox #472

[Improved] New settings reconfiguration method does not require closing active connections #542

[Improved] The new icon implemented across the app #561

[Improved] The protocol to add filter subscriptions #559

[Improved] Localizations has been updated

WARNING: for the app to work properly you might need to restart the system.

NOTE: if you currently have AdGuard installed to any folder except for /Applications, the old version will launch after the update anyway. In such case you need to close and uninstall the old AdGuard. Users who have AdGuard installed to /Applications already can update as usual.

Its a common situation when a release is followed by a hotfix, taking care of all unnoticed bugs. The bigger the release, the more bugfixes there usually are in the hotfix. All things considered, v2.0 can be considered a success, seeing how few serious issues we had to resolve in this update.

WARNING: for the app to work properly you might need to restart the system.

NOTE: if you currently have AdGuard installed to any folder except for /Applications, the old version will launch after the update anyway. In such case you need to close and uninstall the old AdGuard. Users who have AdGuard installed to /Applications already can update as usual.

This is one of the biggest updates in the history of AdGuard for Mac. It introduces the long-due Stealth Mode, an updated UI (including the improved Assistant), integration with CoreLibs — the new enhanced filtering engine — and much more. Give it a try and you'll immediately notice the difference.

[Added] CoreLibs integration #232

This is the first AdGuard for Mac that introduces CoreLibs — the new filtering engine that lies at the core of the filtering process. It is not random that we put this before such huge news as Stealth Mode or new design. The effects of this change will be both big and long lasting.
CoreLibs significantly enhances both ad blocking quality and performance, in comparison to the latest stable version. And since CoreLibs is a cross-platform filtering engine, in addition to these obvious improvements it allows to implement more new features that previously were only available in other AdGuard products.
Worth mentioning that AdGuard for Mac becomes the second AdGuard product to receive the «CoreLibs treatment» after AdGuard for Android.

[Added] Stealth Mode #12

Stealth Mode is a special module which sole purpose is to protect your online privacy. It went a long way from an obscure, Windows-exclusive feature, to the centerpiece of almost any AdGuard product in the very near future. This is a logical flow of things as the value of privacy has been rising to the sky for some time now, and the need to protect it becomes apparent.
If you had a chance to use AdGuard for Windows, you will find inside all familiar options. We’ll not clog up the changelog by describing every single one, they are all explained in the tooltips next to them.

[Improved] New UI #346

Finally, we get to the new UI. You may be baffled why it was left until the very end of the changelog, the explanation is very simple: the changes are modest. Both the main screen and the settings menu look different enough, but you won’t have to re-familiarize yourself with the app. Think new, prettier icons, honed styles and so on.
One thing that stands out is the new Assistant, it is miles ahead of the old version in terms of convenience, and allows you to access the web reporter for any filter-related issues on the web pages.
Oh, and another treat, exclusively for Mojave users who prefer dark themes. AdGuard now supports the dark theme, so if you switch to it in your Mac settings, AdGuard will no longer be a black sheep among your applications, pun not intended.

New users will also be greeted with redesigned onboarding screens. They are made more informative and help make first steps and adjust AdGuard according to your needs.

[Added] AdGuard Extra extension #492

In some complicated cases the usual approach with filtering rules just doesn’t work. In particular, in some cases of ad blocker circumvention/ad reinjection. So we came up with an alternative solution — a userscript. For those unfamiliar, userscripts are basically mini programs that modify web pages and augment browsing.

AdGuard Extra does it in a way that makes it harder for websites to employ the circumvention/reinjection techniques. AdGuard for Mac is the first AdGuard product to get this addition, we are thrilled to see it in action and read your feedback on it.

[Changed] Developer ID has been changed #460

Application’s Developer ID has been changed to AdGuard Software Limited. This shouldn’t concern you much, but if you are curious why it’s because of the problem we ran into on Mojave. Basically, all new and updated apps on Mojave now have to be notarized. In the future, this will be mandatory for all applications. And part of the notarization process for us was changing the Developer ID.

In the anticipation of the AdGuard for Mac v2.0 big update (which is coming at the beginning of the 2019 and will have loads of new features), we really want to acquaint as many people with it as possible. And the biggest driving factor here is, of course, the ability to use the product in your native language. It was nothing but unfair that we deprived our French, Danish and Norwegian-speaking users of that opportunity. We apologize and add respective localizations to AdGuard for Mac for you to enjoy. See you next year with AG for Mac v2.0!

[Changed] Localizations has been added #322

A small update for v1.5. We have temporarily disabled support for the dark theme on Mojave OS for version 1.5 since we were focused on the technical part of the development for the new version 2.0. In the upcoming major v2.0 update big changes are expected, but as for now:

[Changed] Disable dark mode on Mojave OS #379

[Changed] Localizations has been updated

[Fixed] No default filters on clean install #360

[Fixed] Welcoming UI and app menu are broken in dark mode on Mojave #359

A small but important update that resolves to issues:

[Fixed] AdGuard does not filter new Chrome 72 builds #349

[Fixed] AdGuard does not filter Brave Browser 0.55 unless you add it manually to the list of filtered apps #351

No new stunning features this time, the release is mostly about bugfixes. But they are important ones, you'll appreciate them if you were unlucky enough to come across one of the fixed issues. Oh, and we have added Japanese localization — we know there are quite a few Japanese users out there!

Networking

[Fixed] Browser connections are blocked in certain circumstances #306

[Fixed] TCP FastOpen incompatibility #309

[Fixed] Compatibility with Boxcryptor #310

[Fixed] High CPU usage due to a sync XHR request made by Assistant#315

Other

[Changed] Localization fixes for the Japanese translation #308

[Changed] Start using adguard.com/forward for the website links #313

It’s been a while since the last AdGuard for Mac release, so we owed one to our Mac users. This release is small but impactful — or at least we hope so. Some important bugfixes and key improvements have been done, all aimed at achieving better stability and filtering quality.

[Fixed] Sometimes connections can randomly slip past AdGuard #285

The title pretty much explains it. We’ve received several complaints from users about some websites not being filtered (even big ones like youtube.com). Without diving into technical details, we managed to fix it.

[Fixed] Crash in tcpClosed handler while the laptop is sleeping #295

Another bug that doesn’t really require any further explanation, but is serious enough to justify mentioning. In case you encountered this frustrating behavior — rejoice! The bug is fixed in this version.

[Improved] ExtendedCss has been updated to version 1.10 #293

This effectively means more extended cosmetic rules are supported now. Which, in its turn, ensures “cleaner” look of the post-processed pages (no ad leftovers, empty spaces etc.).

Ad blocking

[Fixed] CSP issue at github.com #292

[Fixed] HTTPS filtering + Firefox master password issue #284

[Improved] Better support for language codes #290

Hello!

We are on the verge of the year 2018, and what is a better time to release a new AdGuard for Mac version? :)

As you will see with this update, a lot of major changes here relate to UI convenience and better user experience — in particular, filter subscription by URL deserves a separate mention. Ad blocking quality has been increased too, several bugs have been eliminated.

Ad blocking

[Added] Filter subscription by URL #1

It’s become much more convenient now to add new filter subscriptions since you have a choice between uploading a local file or entering a URL.

[Improved] Close active connections when network filtering starts #263

Translating to a more common language, this means that no connections will slip by AdGuard’s protection when you turn it on. A real life example: many Safari users used to have problems with unblocked ads on YouTube. This change fixes it. - [Added] $~websocket modifier support #245

[Added] "Brave" browser to the filtered apps list #246

[Added] Mozilla Developer Edition to the filtered apps list #241

[Fixed] Can't log in to icloud.com #242

[Fixed] AdGuard blocks notifications on Yandex mail in a browser tab #256

[Fixed] "Reinstall certificate" does not work in FF #257

[Fixed] Some websites open slowly with AdGuard #247

[Fixed] Some websites are not accessible with the HTTPS filtering enabled #249

UI

[Added] "Undo/Redo" buttons to the user filter editor #227

Self-explanatory. Working with filter editor has become so much more convenient — trust us, we do it a lot, and we can tell the difference! [Improved] Filter editor now indicates that the filter contains disabled rules #258

Another quality of life improvement. You won’t now find yourself in situations when something is not working because you’ve disabled a couple of rules, but can’t remember in what filter. - [Added] Inform the user about closed connection to a website with EV certificate #228

[Fixed] Applied settings are not displayed correctly when the language filters are activated automatically #233

[Fixed] No first run wizard when installing on High Sierra #244

[Fixed] Title of the window appears on wizard style windows on MacOS 10.13 #255

Other

[Fixed] "Shadowsocks-R" and AdGuard compatibility problem #240

[Improved] "ExtendedCss" module has been upgraded to v1.0.9 #262

[Fixed] Localization issues #261

It has been a very long time since the last AdGuard for Mac release. We definitely don't want such hiatus to become a routine – expect the next one much sooner.

And in this one we've made some positive changes to the UI and improved the filtering quality by a lot. Read the full changelog below.

Ad blocking

[Fixed] AdGuard doesn't filter apps from the WebCatalog app #165

Previously, AdGuard wasn’t able to filter apps installed with WebCatalog, and they couldn’t even be added to the list of filtered apps manually. This issue gets fixed in this version. - [Added] $network basic rules modifier #171

[Changed] The ~third-party modifier behavior #177

[Fixed] Content filtering exception rules #176

[Fixed] Error while parsing a wide filtering rule #175

[Fixed] Replace rules aren't applied to .m3u8 files content #178

[Fixed] Regular expressions with $ aren't processed properly #167

[Fixed] Content rules are applied even when there is a $document exception #234

[Fixed[ The script is being removed/cut if there is an $empty modifier in the rule #209

[Fixed] Cosmetic filters are being applied to pages whitelisted by a $document exception #189

[Improved] The range of $$ rules has been increased #196

[Improved] "ExtendedCss" module has been upgraded to v1.0.8 #216

[Improved] The trimming limit for request URLs has been increased #214

[Improved] The $network modifier has been extended, it can now be an exception as well #190

Networking

[Added] An option to exclude websites with EV certificates from filtering #170

An option already familiar to Windows users. Some websites feature Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, which require a very strict verification process and offer a stronger guarantee that the website is plausible and trusted. Usually, they are bank websites, payment systems etc., and they normally do not have many ads anyway, if any.

We have also improved the security aspect of AdGuard by addressing some security-related issues (#186, #194).

[Fixed] Wrong cyphers order #224

[Fixed] SHA-1 intermediate issue #194

[Fixed] AdGuard cannot handle huge chunks properly #218

[Fixed] Connection is allowed when DH1024 is in use #186

[Fixed] "strict-dynamic" CSP is not handled properly #203

[Fixed] AdGuard Crashes when receives new metadata from backend #220

[Fixed] There is an empty response from local.adguard.com in some cases when HTTPS is used #206

[Fixed] Several network errors and compatibility issues

UI

[Improved] Filter editor has been reworked #56

Now it has become possible to enter the 'advanced editing mode'. Basically, it means that the User filter turns into a single text area which you can work with as in any text editor: copy/paste several lines at once and apply all changes at once and not line by line. The search tool will help you to find or replace anything you need. All in all, it should be a welcome change for all the aspiring filter developers.

[Added] Add "Reset settings..." option #180

[Changed] "System Extension Blocked" issue on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) #217

[Changed] Filters' names have been adjusted #187

[Changed] AdGuard to AdGuard #231

[Fixed] Wrong date of establishment in "About AdGuard" section #205

[Fixed] Several localization fixes and updates

[Fixed] The 'expiring trial' warning translation #169

[Fixed] The number of remaining subscription days is not displayed in AdGuard toolbar #191

[Fixed] UF is always turned on after restarting the app #237

[Fixed] Interface bug with filters list #236

[Fixed] Misplaced title in Support window #235

Other

[Improved] AdGuard can now be launched from an external drive #210

A niche but useful improvement. In case you prefer to store your data on an external drive and switch between different desktops a lot. No need to update your user filter and other settings separately on every Mac separately anymore, just have AdGuard installed on an external drive.

[Changed] The SSL exceptions list has been updated

[Fixed] Yandex mail compatibility issue #160

IMPORTANT UPDATE: compatibility with Chrome 59 and newer. The changes are few, but crucial.

[Fixed] local.adguard.com certificate is considered invalid by Chrome v59 #183

It may not seem like much, but without this change, AdGuard would be partially incompatible with the newest Chrome versions. Needless to say, Chrome is one of the most popular browsers among Mac users, so it is hard to overstate the importance of this fix.

[Changed] Bundle ID for Waterfox app #164

A small hotfix containing a couple of changes.

[Fixed] AdGuard maintains network connections even if the computer is in idle mode #163

[Improved] Cosmetic exception rules compilation speed #173

The Christmas came early this year for AdGuard for Mac users - a new version comes out today :) It significantly improves ad blocking, namely introducing Extended CSS support and several new modifiers. Networking and UI have undergone some fixing and tweaking too, so AdGuard will become more stable and easy in use.

Ad blocking

[Added] Extended CSS support #109, #120
This is a very important addition in terms of future (and present) possibilities that it opens for ad blocking. Extended CSS is a module for applying CSS styles with extended selection properties. Basically, it means that we will be able to select and, therefore, block some elements that we would not be able to block otherwise. Notably, this concerns such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.

[Added] $important modifier #132
This new addition is an significant one, but mostly relevant for creators of custom filter rules. With it's help you can give certain rules higher priority.

[Added] $websocket modifier #131

[Changed] Updated default HTTPS exclusions list #124

[Fixed] $empty modifier behaviour #108, #143

[Fixed] Latin extended symbol in a filter rule interferes with filtering #134

[Fixed] $replace rule can't be applied along with the other rules #133

Networking

[Changed] HTTPS is now used for safebrowsing requests #148

[Changed] WoSign and StartCom certificates are now distrusted #141

[Changed] New separate server is used now for filter updates #139

[Fixed] $replace rules break content charset #147

[Fixed] AdGuard compatibility with Opera built-in VPN #123, #130

[Fixed] Kernel panic issue #106

[Fixed] AdGuard blocks the page from loading if /etc/hosts has incorrect records #111

[Fixed] Inability to apply inline style #142

[Fixed] Excessive CPU load #135

[Fixed] Safebrowsing check algorithm #148

[Fixed] Unknown pseudo class error #154

[Improved] Content injection algorithm #119

[Improved] AdGuard styles are now protected from removal #149

UI

[Added] Hotkeys for filters management #9, #128

[Changed] CMD+Backspace key combination can now be used to delete filters from the filter list #9

[Changed] "Check filter updates" action moved to settings menu #116

[Fixed] Incorrect filter is displayed in "Filtering Log" #129

[Fixed] $replace rules are displayed correctly in the filtering log #150

[Improved] Allowed pasting mulitple rules at once in filter area #126

Hello! Last AdGuard for Mac version was released in February, so we felt a bit guilty and decided to release a new one :) There is quite a bit of various fixes and changes here, as you can see in the changelog below, but the most important, or rather the most impactful ones, are those that affect performance - specifically, we mean #88 and #91 (you can find more detailed description for these changes below). Overall, AdGuard will become faster now, and thanks to the better performance, AdGuard will now consume significantly less battery resourse. But not only that, for example, we drastically improved browsing of some of the most problematic websites when IPv6 is enabled (#93).

Ad blocking

[Improved] Basic filtering rules processing speed was optimized #91

Optimizing basic filtering rules processing is very important since basic rules are the most resourse-consuming among all. This change will result in AdGuard working faster and spending less resourses.

[Changed] $replace rules now have higher priority than other basic rules #49

[Changed] Origin is used as Referer for requests Referer isn't defined for #84

[Fixed] AdGuard crash because of huge data: URLs #81

[Fixed] Wrong HTML content detection #71

[Fixed] twitch.tv filtering issue #105

[Improved] Increase content filtering rules maximum length limit #101

Networking

[Changed] Connections are not kept alive for too long now if 'HTTP keep alive' timeout is specified #88

Previously the 'keep-alive' time for connections was higher, and AdGuard consumed more battery resourse than it should. Now, when we lowered the connections 'keep-alive' time, the resourse consumption during the 'idle time' will be significantly lower as well.

[Changed] Webdav methods are supported now (specifically REPORT) #85

[Changed] Rewritten mechanism of checking the websites availability #93

[Fixed] After blocking a POST request, next request is read only when data was read to end #68

[Fixed] AdGuard prevents UDP traffic on 443 port #90

[Fixed] AdGuard fails to detect HTML on some websites #100

UI changes

[Added] A notification that is shown if user unchecks the "Filter https protocol" box #65
