It was quite a while since the last Adguard for Windows release. And there are other reasons for that apart from the Christmas/New Year holidays: we’d been extensively testing the new network driver. Why is it so important? Read further.
It's happening! Good news for Edge users, you can now install our extension and use your new favorite browser ad-free.
Several days ago PageFair (the industry leading anti-adblocking authority and solutions provider) issued a traditional report on ad blocking. The presentation is very interesting, although we must say that we do not agree with all the data and conclusions provided. Anyway, from this report you will find out how people get to know about ad blockers, how many women/men there are among ad blocker users and much more.
There is an Adguard app for virtually every major platform out there, and we regularly release updates for all of them. This would not be possible without beta testing and, more importantly, beta testers. Want to become one? Here’s how you can do it.
One of the most important drawbacks of modern mobile devices is short battery life. So it's not amusing that many smartphone users pay attention specifically to that. If you are using Adguard on your smartphone and have once looked into the statistics of battery usage, you probably noticed that Adguard is often in the list of programs that consume most of the battery juice. But is it really so? Let's look at the details.
What do we say to "adblock apocalypse"? Not today.
In recent years advertisers and publishers have been worryingly following the growth of ad blockers. Preparing the reports, filing the complaints and generally waiting for the true apocalypse in the industry. However, there are no reasons for such concern. Mashable has recently published an article, which we want to share with you.
Some of you may have already heard about ePrivacy Directive by European Commission. We won't go through all the points of this document, but we can't share the part which goes about ad blocking.
So the latest changes actually allow media companies to take measures against ad blocker users.
Google continues to remove ad blockers. This time AdNauseam extension was banned from Web Store. Google flagged it as malware which prohibited using the extension for those who have installed software via Chrome's developer mode.
First of all, thank you everyone for participation in our New Year promotion!
We hope you have managed to purchase Adguard at a nice discount :)
Sale is over, but we still have a giveaway for you!
You might have decided that we were done for the year, especially if you'd read the '2016 recap' article - but we have one more present left, this time for our Windows users - a new Adguard for Windows version.
