Versions history | AdGuard

In this update we've improved the stability of the app and fixed some minor bugs.

Today’s version is exactly what we love: it introduces a fresh feature we couldn’t wait to see on the app. And it’s no small release – we’re introducing an in-app privacy browser to the app! Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

AdGuard v4.7 is the last version that supports Android 7 and 8. Starting with the next release, we will only offer support for Android 9 or higher.

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 want our app to be part of that routine, and that’s why 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 the browser

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?

Minor improvements to the statistics module.

If this release were a UFC fighter, it would go by the name “The Bugfixer” because it is all about squashing bugs. Let’s break down what we’ve accomplished here.

DNS bug

We’ve tackled a particularly eye-twitching bug that caused DNS — and, as a result, the Internet — to randomly fail when switching networks. It took some detective work on our part since the issue was unpredictable and only impacted a small number of users. But hey, no one should be left without DNS protection!

Battery drain bug

Another irritating bug we discovered during beta testing: incorrect statistics calculations were leading to excessive battery drain. The system code was unable to calculate the date necessary for accurate statistics below a certain value. Thankfully, we’ve managed to work around this odd behavior in the system code, and now the stats are calculated correctly. They also now load faster and take up less RAM.

This issue seemed to affect users on specific versions of Android. If you were using the nightly or beta version of AdGuard and ran into this problem, we recommend updating to the stable release.

Other fixes

A number of bug fixes and improvements come with the latest version of the CoreLibs, along with improved filtering quality — you can see the details in the changelog below.

In this hotfix, 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!
