AdGuard 연혁

콤무나르카, 모스크바 지역

2009

The birth of AdGuard

AdGuard was founded. There were 3 people in the team and the office was in the one of the co-founder’s apartment. It was the year of searching and experiments.

로고 변천사

2010

AdGuard was reworked from scratch. In October we released renewed version and opened our Forum. Thanks to that we got a huge user feedback that helped us a lot in future program development. Later that year AdGuard Assistant was created.

AdGuard 4.2.2

2011

Second total re-design in AdGuard history in version 5.0. The team is growing, AdGuard got the first proper office.

AdGuard 브라우저 확장프로그램

2013

We understood that to compete with other ad blockers we need to be present in their field as well, so we developed free ad blocking browser extensions for Chrome and Opera.

Google kicked us out of their Play Store

2014

Extensions for Safari, Firefox and Yandex.Browser were next. In November we released second major product in AdGuard software range - our Android app. In just a week we were removed from Google Play, because.. well, we block Google’s ads. And by the end of the year AdGuard products reached 5 million users around the world.

Mac용 AdGuard

2015

Major release in April added AdGuard for Mac to our software products. In October that year other Apple users got their app - AdGuard for iOS was added to App Store. We also created Stealth mode extension (yes, it’s ours) that later was turned into Stealth mode module in AdGuard for Windows. And another important step was to reflect all our development processes on GitHub. We became more transparent than ever and users really helped us by reporting issues and suggesting new features.

AdGuard on Webit

2016

Third ultimate makeover of Windows program. We released AdGuard 6. which concept design (more or less) you can see now in the current versions. AdGuard won at Webit Festival Europe as the best startup. We released the first version of AdGuard DNS (still working on this), and then AdGuard Content Blocker (limited functionality blocker for Android, works in Samsung and Yandex mobile browsers). In September we released the premium version of iOS app - AdGuard Pro.

2017

We developed AdGuard for Edge extension and added it to the Microsoft Store. Our website is fully redesigned. It finally represents all our products properly, is adaptive for mobile devices and is simply good-looking and user-friendly :) There are around 40 people in the team.

2018

The most important change in 2018 was CoreLibs, the new cross-platform engine for all AdGuard products. The fight against ad blocking is carried out on all “fronts”, but thanks to CoreLibs, AdGuard is now again one step ahead.

In 2018, we started releasing Nightly builds — the “raw” versions of AdGuard. Thus, our tireless testers take on the first wave of nasty bugs, so that ordinary users get the most stable version of the program.

And at the end of the year we released two powerful products — AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS. This is the first step towards users’ full control over all devices on their home or work networks.

2019

We improve and develop our applications, while striving to make them more beautiful and easier to use. We are preparing new research, we are dissecting the next threats to security, privacy and effective web surfing. And we thank every user of AdGuard: thank you for being with us, motivating us and helping us!
