The differential filters update is now available in AdGuard for Mac. We wrote about it in detail when we released the extension, but in a nutshell, it helps to update filter lists faster and more efficiently, which means that filtering rules will be up to date and ads will be better blocked. As for the more trivial changes, we've updated the DnsLibs and fixed a few bugs.

Changelog

Improvements

Added support for the Floorp browser (Firefox fork) #1446

Fixes

Unable to complete installation of AdGuard v2.15 on macOS Catalina #1503

With iCloud Private Relay enabled, ads are not blocked in Safari on macOS Sequoia #1467

DnsLibs

Updated DnsLibs to v2.5.51 #1502

There are two major changes in the new version: support for differential filter updates and userstyles.

Speed up filter updates

We continue to add differential filter updates to our apps: now AdGuard for Mac will also update filters more frequently, which means filtering rules will be the most up-to-date and ads will be better blocked.

Add colors to your browsing

Userstyles are like userscripts that allow you to change how web pages look in your browser without changing their content. Add new colors to your browser pages by uploading or writing your own userstyle directly in the app!

To add a userstyle, go to Settings → Extensions → Add → Import from file or URL. You can find ready userstyles online.

Now it's possible to add not only js scripts but also CSS files.

To create your own userstyle, click Add → Create userstyle.

As for constant changes, we updated DnsLibs, CoreLibs, Scriplets and fixed a few bugs. Overall, the application is more stable, updates filters faster, and can make your browser look nicer. But don't just take our word for it, try the new version for yourself!

The AdGuard v2.14 for Mac beta 1 features the usual bug-fixes-for-better-performance changes, but not only that! This time, the star of the show is the CoreLibs update, which brings improvements to the app overall, with two notable features in particular. First up, we've fine-tuned the Encrypted Client Hello support. Yes, it’s still in the experimental phase, but our team has identified several issues that were holding back the seamless activation of ECH by default. With this beta, we've addressed them and paved the way for enhanced performance. Additionally, the updated CoreLibs now provide the ability to filter DNS-over-HTTPS requests on the fly. This means that AdGuard by default won't redirect DoH queries to another DNS server, and instead queries will still be sent to the server chosen in the browser. The old behavior may be restored by turning off network.dns.filter.secure.request.transparently.enabled in the advanced settings. This update also includes other minor changes. If you'd like to, feel free to dig into each one of them by reading our extensive changelog below.

Christmas is coming and so is the next beta version of AdGuard v2.13 for Mac. This time we’ve fixed some issues that we found after the previous release. We've also fixed the problem that caused AdGuard to detect websites with recently updated certificates as websites with expired certificates, so users would see ads on them. We’ve fixed this, so now you can enjoy a clean ad-free web again.

We’ve also updated Scriptlets, CoreLibs, and DnsLibs to provide you with a better user experience. Don’t miss the new update.

Changelog

Improvements

Added the Sidekick browser support #1350

Fixes

The “Pause AdGuard” button in AdGuard Browser Assistant for Safari is misplaced #1349

Scriptlets (JavaScript enhancement for filtering rules)

Updated Scriptlets to v1.9.101

We are excited to announce AdGuard v2.13 for Mac beta 1. This version contains several under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes to enhance your browsing experience. But more importantly, we have implemented a useful ad blocking tool. Let’s take a closer look at it.

Support for selectors in HTML filtering rules

The big change in this version is the improved HTML filtering. We’ve added support for selectors in HTML filtering rules, which helps block ads more effectively.

New DnsLibs and Basic HTTP authentication

With this DnsLibs update, AdGuard for Mac users gain access to a new feature: Basic HTTP authentication. What does it mean?

Imagine you have a custom DNS server and want to restrict access to it. You could restrict access by IP address (for example, only allow your home IP to connect to the DNS server), but what if you have a mobile device that frequently changes networks?

Luckily, DNS-over-HTTPS protocol allows us to benefit from features of HTTP protocol, and one of them is the authentication option. When adding a custom DNS server that supports HTTP authentication in AdGuard for Mac, you can now include authentication information that will be used to connect to that server.

Soon Basic HTTP authentication will be available on AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS, you will be the first to know!

New CoreLibs and HTTPS filtering state identification

The drawback of HTTPS filtering is that it’s not easy to see the original domain certificate. AdGuard does verify its validity, but you may want to check it yourself. We have partially solved this problem in our desktop applications. If you are using a browser, you can use a browser assistant to check the original certificate, but what if you are using an application where there is no assistant? With the latest CoreLibs update users can view the original certificate information in the Filtering log.

We have also fixed some minor issues as well as improved AdGuard's performance and stability. We hope you’ll enjoy the new version of AdGuard v2.13 for Mac beta 1. We would be grateful if you could help us with the beta testing and provide us with your feedback.

Changelog

Versions

Updated DnsLibs to v2.2.27 #1299

We are happy to announce the release of AdGuard v2.12 for Mac beta! This time we have worked a lot to improve your privacy and user experience. Please note that this version of AdGuard for Mac no longer supports macOS High Sierra 10.13 and Mojave 10.14. If you are currently using an older version of Mac, please download the previous version of AdGuard.

AdGuard v2.12 for Mac beta boasts significant improvements. Before AdGuard for Mac could only filter HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 traffic. In v2.12 we have updated CoreLibs so now users can enable HTTP/3 filtering. HTTP/3 (HTTP-over-QUIC) is the latest version of the HTTP protocol that uses QUIC instead of TCP. The QUIC network protocol has a lot of advantages over the TCP transport layer protocol. It provides increased privacy and security, a more stable and faster Internet connection, etc. Enabling HTTP/3 filtering allows you not just to use all the advantages of QUIC protocol, but also block advertisements and trackers! Now our users can enjoy fast Internet connection without any disturbance.

Currently, HTTP/3 filtering is an experimental feature, and we’ll evaluate its stability during the beta phase. Also, due to a browser-specific bug, this feature is now broken in Chrome. However, it should work fine in Safari and Firefox. To use HTTP/3 filtering, go to Advanced → Advanced Settings → network.https.filter.http3.enabled.

We have also fixed compatibility issues with WARP, updated Scriptlets, CoreLibs and DnsLibs.

Meet the first beta of AdGuard v2.9.2 for Mac! DNS protection is now enabled automatically when you install the app. By default the ISP's DNS server is used, and AdGuard DNS filter is enabled for security. In addition, we have added new translations of General settings, fixed several bugs, and updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs.

Changelog

Enhancement

DNS protection is enabled by default

Updated

CoreLibs to v1.10.177 #1172

DnsLibs to v2.0.66 #1167

One release candidate is good, but two are better. We are on the verge of a AdGuard v2.9.0 for Mac release. In this version we've fixed small but important bugs and updated both CoreLibs and DnsLibs.

Changelog

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to v1.10.113 #1150

[Enhancement] DNSLibs updated to v2.0.30 #1149

[Fixed] AdGuard DNS Protection is not working well with router advertised DNS servers #1061

Meet the release candidate, AdGuard for Mac soon-to-be v2.9.0! For this version we’ve updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs, fixed a few minor issues and made one notable improvement.

[Enhancement] A new Logging section is added to the Advanced menu

Now you can select the logging level, export logs and system information, and reset logs in one place. We'd like to remind you to switch to the Debug logging level only if our support team asked you to do so, otherwise use the Default level.

Changelog

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to v1.10.108 #1144

[Enhancement] DnsLibs updated to v2.0.22

[Fixed] Memory leaks when AdGuard is enabled #1092

[Other] Added new option Block "Encrypted ClientHello" parameters to Advanced settings #161

This is the third beta of AdGuard v2.9.0 for Mac. It doesn't boast of many changes but it makes the application more stable thanks to the updated Corelibs and DnsLibs.

Changelog

[Enhancement] Updated CoreLibs to v1.10.89 #1130

[Enhancement] Updated DnsLibs to v2.0.13

[Enhancement] Removed the word release from the number of the stable (release) version of AdGuard #1099

[Fixed] Confirmation about closing AdGuard doesn't appear on top of other apps #1058

[Fixed] Error with filtering initialization through Network Extension when network is off #1124

This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

The new beta of AdGuard for Mac is ready to please you with useful improvements! We've upgraded the Filtering log functionality: now you can add rules directly from it with just a click of a button. We've also moved proxy settings from the Advanced settings, which are rarely accessed by the average user, to the Network tab in the app's Settings. We’ve also updated the filtering engine, CoreLibs.

Changelog

[Enhancement] Implemented the ability to add rules via Filter Log #925

[Enhancement] Upstream proxy settings moved to the Network tab #734

[Enhancement] Add "Unencrypted" icon for "Regular" DNS servers description in the DNS tab #1034

[Fixed] Memory leaks when processing bypassed connections on macOS #1643

[Fixed] AdGuard for Mac blocks access to wwww.mindray.com #1648

[Fixed] Rules with $all modifier do not block explicitly visited sites #1590

In this update, we have added an option that will hopefully improve your privacy — anti-DPI. Partially, it will prevent the Deep Packet Inspection systems of your ISP from detecting the websites you visit. And we've also updated CoreLibs and fixed some minor bugs. Thank you for your feedback — it helps AdGuard become better.

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to v1.9.60 #1057

[Enhancement] Add an anti-DPI option to stealth mode #1615

This beta boasts two important features that we would like to put forward.

[Enhancement] Add settings export #514

First off: the long-coveted settings export/import feature, that’s already been implemented in every AdGuard product but the MacOS version, is here. Yes indeed, now macOS users too can finally export and import their settings in bulk, we can hardly believe it ourselves!

[Enhancement] Add a dialog that explains that AdGuard needs to run a rooted tool to configure the system #977

And for the second feature — now you will be seeing several (more) dialog screens while installing AdGuard. We can foresee a “why?” at this point, so here goes: AdGuard asks a lot of permissions upon installation, it is true. And it does make a lot of changes to your system configuration, more importantly, it generates and installs a certificate to perform HTTPS filtering. That knowledge is enough to cause some jitters, we get that. And so it is very important for us to explain to our users that those permissions AdGuard asks are crucial for quality filtering. After all, quality ad filtering is the reason behind installing AdGuard in the first place, right? In these dialog screens, we firmly state our policy again: despite the permissions asked, we do not use the power gained over your system for any purpose whatsoever except filtering ads. Ever.

These were the two main points of this beta, but as per usual, we also did some bug-fixing and then updated CoreLibs and DNSLibs. Hopefully, the beta version will blossom into a full-fledged release soon!

Also in this version we have added the ability to install AdGuard Browser Assistant in beta- and dev versions of Chrome browser. It seems now that the release is definitely just around the corner.

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard assistant: Add the ability to install in Chrome Beta/Chrome dev browser #950

[Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to 1.8.214 #960

The release candidate can only mean one thing — the release version is coming. In this RC, we’ve updated CoreLibs and polished things up. So buckle up and prepare for the new version of AdGuard for Mac, it’s on the way!

Changelog

[Other] Updated CoreLibs to v1.8.199 #952

Here comes beta 3 for the upcoming AdGuard v2.6 for Mac. We tested the app’s compatibility with macOS Monterey, and they work seamlessly together. All you need to do is wait for the newest macOS 12 to be released – to try AdGuard on it, among other things.

Changelog

[Enhancement] iCloud Private Relay compatibility improvements #875

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to 1.8.195 #945

[Enhancement] DnsLibs updated to v1.6.52 #946

This rather small, but important AdGuard v2.6.0 for Mac beta 2 update includes fixes to several issues with app's launch at system startup. We have also improved compatibility with AdGuard VPN.

Changelog

[Enhancement] CoreLibs updated to v1.8.183 #934

[Enhancement] DnsLibs updated to v1.6.36 #933

We are happy to announce that such features as DNS filtering and Native Apple Silicon support have been added to AdGuard for Mac. We know you've been waiting for this feature so long, and so have we.

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.

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

Hotfix to deal with the occasional crashes that happened in the previous Beta.

Changelog

[Other] CoreLibs updated to v1.7.188

This beta fixes a couple of bugs and overall improves the app. Needs to be mentioned that most of the existing Big Sur-related issues are also resolved, thanks to the release of Big Sur 11.2. 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

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

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

[Fixed] Switching between system profiles causes AdGuard to crash #805

[Other] CoreLibs updated to v1.7.180 #826

[Other] Added Dutch localization

[Other] Microsoft Outlook removed from the list of applications filtered by default

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

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] AdGuard doesn't filter Brave Browser on Big Sur #746

[Other] Localizations updated

CoreLibs updated to v1.7.119

[Enhancement] Libraries' versions are now indicated #1150

This is the first beta version of AdGuard v2.5 for Mac. As any beta update, this one has a purpose, and, in fact, a highly important this time: it resolves many of the compatibility problems that macOS Big Sur users are encountering.

[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.

Changelog

[Bug] AdGuard doesn't work in Brave Beta v1.7.64 #689

In this beta version, we introduce AdGuard Browser Assistant, which will replace the old Assistant extension. Aside from that, we've fixed some bugs and further improved CoreLibs.

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

AdGuard Browser Assistant is a new browser extension that replaces both the old Assistant and the integration mode at the same time. We decided that there was no need to keep both when one new extension can do all the job, and do it better. So what can AdGuard Browser Assistant do?

Everything you might need when you browse the Web: enable/disable filtering on the current website, manually block any element on the page, view the filtering log or report the website. Basically, all the familiar features but without the limitations that integration mode and the old Assistant have.

When you install AdGuard for Mac for the first time (or update it to the new version), the Safari Assistant will be installed automatically. For other browsers, you need to go to their respective add-on stores, search for 'AdGuard Browser Assistant' and install it. Alternatively, you can install the Assistant for your default browser via app settings or during the onboarding process.

A small update for v2.3:

[Added] HTTPS filtering step to the initial wizard #659

To kick things off for AdGuard v2.3 for Mac we release this small-ish beta. It’s mostly focused on fixing network- and UI-related bugs, there’s also a new Stealth Mode parameter to block Java.

[Added] “Block Java” option to Stealth Mode #476

[Changed] Discord, Steam and Outlook added to the list of apps filtered by default #483

[Fixed] Several minor UI issues in Filters window #422

[Fixed] The text for onboarding tips is truncated in some localizations #616

[Improved] Certificate page design #451

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.141 #649

We’re making final touches in our preparation for v2.2 release: a few minor changes and the ever present CoreLibs update. This time, there’s a couple of really important CL changes:

[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 to 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.

[Changed] Edge icons have been updated #641

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

[Fixed] AdGuard icon is invisible #527

[Fixed] Remotix compatibility issues #592

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

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.113 #636

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

It’s time to embark on a quest for the next AdGuard for Mac big update! And our first step is to release this beta: it features added support for custom userscripts and new way to activate AG, but also several bugfixes and other lesser changes.

[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] “Trusted” flag for custom filters #521

[Fixed] “Untrusted CA certificate” issue #596

[Fixed] Extra “AdGuard Extra” userscripts #607

[Fixed] Editing user filter doesn’t work when search box is not empty #569

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

[Improved] Voiceover accessibility #634

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.99 #635

[Improved] Localizations have been updated

We’re approaching the next release, and the betas are becoming less saturated with changes but more focused. In this one, the main attention is drawn to CoreLibs. After some tweaks made to the filtering engine, now connections will not be reset as often: only in rare cases when filter updates or changes in configuration require it. Few other improvements:

[Fixed] iTunes Store access issue #552

[Fixed] Chromium 78 is not filtered by AdGuard #574

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

[Improved] The protocol to add filter subscriptions #559

In the first beta version after v2.0 release we mostly concentrate our efforts on fixing various compatibility issues and other bugs. We also added automatic filters detection.

[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 🙂

[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] 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] Localizations have 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.

A small beta to fix some of the more unpleasant bugs and improve filtering quality.

Ad blocking

[Fixed] Status of the "Trusted" checkbox isn't saved for custom filters #519

Network

[Fixed] Pages don't load when two system user accounts are in use #509

UI

[Fixed] Incorrect statistics after system restart #517

[Fixed] AdGuard doesn't detect some system locales #502

[Fixed] Userscripts are not translated into Traditional Chinese #503

Other

[Improved] CoreLibs engine has been updated #522

CoreLibs is the centerpiece of the upcoming AdGuard 2.0 for Mac update, and we've just discovered some minor problems with it. Nonetheless, we consider them important enough to release one more beta to fix these problems before unleashing the new stable version into the world. We've also made a few localization updates.

Welcome the first AdGuard 2.0 for Mac release candidate! The changes are minimal compared to the recent beta, but there’s one that’s worth your attention: the introduction of AdGuard Extra userscript. By the way, we plan to transition this version into a stable one if everything goes well.

[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.

[Fixed] Description for “Strip tracking parameters” option #398
[Fixed] The list of filtered apps gets reset after an update #473
[Fixed] Vivaldi browser is not filtered #475
[Fixed] Microsoft Edge browser is not filtered #487
[Fixed] AdGuard doesn’t start automatically on the system startup #480

When it comes to AdGuard for Mac, we prefer a steady, even methodical approach. Eliminate all bugs, make sure nothing is left unnoticed. This is one of those betas where we clean everything up: fix bugs, improve some of the features and so on. We’ll let it run for a while, monitor it for anything that resembles a missed bug, and if is all is good, we’ll stick a “2.0 stable” label 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.

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.

[Improved] Enhanced app accessibility #406

AdGuard for Mac traditionally doesn’t receive frequent updates, but when it does, it is usually something big. This beta is not an exception, we present to you not one, not two, but three big changes, each one of them would normally be enough to justify a beta update on its own. These changes are CoreLibs integration, new UI and the introduction of Stealth Mode. Let’s jump inside and look at them more closely.

[Added] CoreLibs integration #232

This is the first AdGuard for Mac beta 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.

Ad blocking

[Changed] Filtering rules limitations #393

[Changed] Handling of multiple $replace rules #338

Other

[Added] “Application” column to the Filtering Log #341

[Fixed] Website report is now sent properly via the Assistant #361

[Improved] Refactoring “Launch at Login” #415

[Improved] New onboarding screens #385, #407

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 v1.5, 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

[Fixed] No default filters on clean install #360

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

This is a necessary beta version, tonight we will push this beta into release channel.

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

This is a necessary beta version, tonight we will push this beta into release channel.

This beta brings a hotfix for an issue when a combination of bad connectivity and specific environment leads to blocked network access. We have also made some changes to support the upcoming Japanese translation.

Networking

[Fixed] [Fixed] TCP FastOpen incompatibility #309

[Changed] [Fixed] Compatibility with Boxcryptor #310

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

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

Other

[Changed] Localization fix for the Japanese translation #308

[Changed] Adopt a special forwarder for in-app links #313

This update brings just one small fix and becomes our new release candidate.

[Changed] AdGuard downgrades TLS version in case of connection error #300

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

[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 beta.

[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

Networking

[Fixed] Certain traffics gets corrupted #172

[Fixed] Dropping TCP connections leads to kernel panics after nfext unloading #276

[Fixed] AdGuard does not filter traffic when TunnelBear extension is enabled #286

UI

[Improved] AdGuard UI files have been altered to use modern approach in localization #273

Other

[Fixed] Userscripts are injected despite being disabled #296

[Improved] Better support for language codes #290

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all of you! And, of course happy Hanuka, or any other holidays that you may be celebrating these days! A small present by our AdGuard for Mac developers for all of our Mac beta-testers. This beta version holds one major change/improvement, and a couple of minor ones. Details below, as usual.

[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.

Other

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

[Fixed] Localization issues #261

Here’s a first AdGuard for Mac beta in a while. Why are they so rare? Because AdGuard for Mac is nigh perfect, of course! Jokes aside, we did some serious work here, further upgrading the ad blocking and improving the UI.

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.

[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 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

Important notice

There was an updater bug in the last beta and, unfortunately, an in-app update to a newer version will cause an error. If you are using the previous beta 1.5.0 (395), please download the new 1.5.0 (400) version and replace the old one. Earlier versions are not affected by this bug.

The preparation for the release is going full steam ahead, and this update is actually a release candidate. Several bugs of the Filters section interface (#236, #237) have been fixed, we’ve made changes to the spelling of our brand name (#231) and have addressed some of the minor problems.

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 beta-version.

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

Networking

[Fixed] Several network errors and compatibility issues.

UI

[Changed] AdGuard to AdGuard #231

[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

We keep working on the next release and it is time to introduce a new beta version. Since in macOS High Sierra all system extensions need a special permission from a user, this new version brings a necessary change to AdGuard for Mac - an additional startup tutorial (#217). There are also some important security (#224) and performance (#220) fixes along with a UI enhancement: Now it's possible to reset all settings in "Advanced" section of "Preferences" menu (#180). All changes below.

Networking

[Fixed] Wrong cyphers order #224

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

UI

[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

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

[Fixed] Several localization fixes and updates

The new AdGuard for Mac beta is a long-awaited one, and we tried to deliver. Basically, all the aspects of the program has been improved: many adblocking-related issues to improve the filtering quality, enhanced network security and reworked User filter. More details below.

Ad blocking

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

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.

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

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

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

A small beta update fixing the certificate issue in latest Chrome version.

[Changed] Bundle ID for Waterfox app #164

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

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

We are getting closer and closer to AdGuard for Mac release. This means we don't want any, even insignificant bugs and errors left. This is why we are willing to release beta versions with a changelog this small. To be more precise, this is a release candidate - if everything is fine with it, it will become a new release.

[Fixed] Safebrowsing check algorithm #148

[Fixed] Unknown pseudo class error #154

In this small beta we make several changes, which mostly concern networking.

Ad Blocking

[Changed] Updated default HTTPS exclusions list #124

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

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

UI

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

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

It was a long while since the last AdGuard for Mac update. We hope it was worth waiting, because new beta adds the support for Extended CSS - read below why it is so important. Besides that, an awful lot of other fixes and changes that will reflect positively on the performance.

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

[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

[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

[Improved] Content injection algorithm #119

UI

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

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

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

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

New beta features few changes and mostly concerns network issues.

Networking

[Changed] Rewritten mechanism of checking the websites availability. New approach improves browsing of some of the most problematic websites when IPv6 is enabled #93

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

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

Greetings! It is time to release new beta version of AdGuard for Mac. 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. Optimizing basic filtering rules (#91) processing is very important since basic rules are the most resourse-consuming among all. #88 also deserves attention. Now we lower resourse consumption significantly during the 'idle time'. Overall, AdGuard will become faster now, but not only that. Thanks to the better performance, AdGuard will now consume significantly less battery resourse.
