AdGuard for Android TV 4.7 Beta 1
Release date: November 15, 2024
Today's beta version is exactly what we love: it introduces a fresh feature we can’t wait to see live in the main release. And it’s no small beta either: we’re introducing a privacy browser to the mobile app! Let’s take a closer look at each of these.
AdGuard v4.7 is the last version that offers support for Android 7 and 8. From the next release, we will only offer support for Android 9 or superior.
A private browser, because there’s no such thing as too much privacy
Keeping privacy in mind while browsing has become an essential part of many users’ everyday life. We’re rolling out the AdGuard private browser, bringing an extra layer of privacy to your daily web experience.
So, what’s so cool about this browser?
Ad and tracker blocking (of course!)
Easy history deletion with a visible, accessible button. Also, your browser history is automatically cleared when you close a tab
The option to save a browsing session by creating a bookmark — something regular Incognito Mode doesn’t offer! If you want to pick up right where you left off without re-opening every tab or logging back in, this feature is for you. For this to work, though, we do store cookies and localStorage
To explore this new feature, tap Try our private browser on the app's home screen. You can also access the browser through the Protection tab, where you can set a default search engine and even create a browser widget.
Just a heads-up: our private browser is still in the early stages of development and has a few limitations, like the inability to handle multiple sessions at once. In the future, we’ll offer a more comprehensive browsing experience, but for now, we suggest using it as a supplement to your usual browser’s Incognito Mode, rather than a replacement. Sounds good?

Release date: July 11, 2024
As Vince Lombardi says, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” We do as he says, and try our best to make every update better. Today we are happy to release the new version of AdGuard for Android. Faster, stronger, and more efficient. Let’s take a look at the major changes.
With the updated filtering engine CoreLibs, we have been able to implement many new features that will improve your filtering experience. First of all, we increased HTTPS filtering speed. Second, we added support for
urltransform and xmlprune modifiers. Now even more distracting elements on a page will be blocked.Our developers didn't rest on their laurels, so they also updated DnsLibs, UserscriptsWrapper and fixed a lot of bugs to make the application more stable.

Release date: May 30, 2024
This update brings our YouTube player’s usability to a whole new level. This update brings our YouTube player’s usability to a whole new level: we added background playback, recommended videos, quality settings, and much more. Not so unskippable now, are you, ads? On top of that, this version includes some nice fixes for overall app performance, including the Android TV version.
A ton of improvements for AdGuard’s YouTube player
Just look at what’s available now:
Change video quality, playback speed, and subtitle settings using the gear ⚙ button
Picture-in-Picture mode is now supported, which means you can shrink the video to a small window and keep playing it in the background while using other apps. Great for such things as listening to music or podcasts
View recommended videos at the end of the video or by pausing the video
Double-tap the right or left side of the screen to skip 10 seconds forward or back correspondingly
Quick reminder: to launch the AdGuard player, choose any video in the YouTube app, tap “Share” and select AdGuard Player (it’s likely that you will need to scroll right and tap “More” first).

In this beta, we’ve fixed a major issue: the app would crash when HTTPS proxy is enabled in a browser. We also made sure that the
$all modifier now works correctly, updated the CoreLibs and DnsLibs — our beloved filtering engines — and added a few improvements along the way. What else is there to say? Update and see for yourself!Changelog

Release date: December 15, 2023
AdGuard v4.3 for Android beta brings you something not only special, but unprecedented. It’s the same AdGuard you know and love, but now with a TV-sized twist – and we mean that quite literally: we’re glad to introduce the support for Android TV! Important updates and a new Developer tools section are also here to enhance your user experience with our app.
Android TV support
To provide full support for Android TV, we’ve developed a simplified version of AdGuard for Android featuring the most essential features to enhance your browsing experience and content filtering on your TV. The new design, fully adapted for Android TV, includes:
Adapted onboarding
Home screen with statistics
Adapted Protection screen
Adapted settings
Hold on to your remote, what you are about to experience is a brand new app!
Note: Android TV support is a feature exclusive to users with an AdGuard license.
Developer tools
We invite our advanced users and filter developers who interact very actively with the app to explore our new Developer tools, a specialized section designed for quick navigation and switching between features. There you can quickly enable or disable custom filters, access logs, enable recording of different logs, and more. This feature can be enabled in Low-level settings.
CoreLibs and DnsLibs updates
The recent CoreLibs v1.13 update boosts your browsing experience with improved HTML filtering, while the update of DnsLibs to v2.4 makes your connection more secure with support for HTTP basic authentication.
