버전 내역 | AdGuard

In this patch, we’ve focused on addressing two critical issues. First, we have fixed a major bug that occurred in the filtering engine, CoreLibs. Second, after installing AdGuard v7.17 for Windows, the application would crash if you put the word in quotation marks in the Exclude app from filtering by entering the full path option. We’ve fixed it and also updated DnsLibs, along the way.

Changelog

Fixes

Quotation marks in Exclude app from filtering option prevent AdGuard from working #5087

CoreLibs (Filtering engine)

CoreLibs updated to v1.14.53 #5092

DnsLibs (DNS filtering engine)

DnsLibs updated to v2.5.19 #5093

Greetings, intrepid ad blocking explorers! Fasten your seatbelts, because AdGuard v7.17 for Windows is about to take you into a digital dimension where we have improved Encrypted ClientHello work and implemented on-the-fly DoH connection filtering. But one thing at a time.

In the new release, we updated CoreLibs, which brings us two important features.

Enhanced Encrypted ClientHello

AdGuard for Windows supports ECH as an experimental feature. It helps us to encrypt the very last unencrypted bit of information, thus improving your privacy level. We are working hard to resolve some technical issues so that it can become one of the default options for users. The updated CoreLibs is another step towards that goal.

On-the-fly DoH connection filtering

CoreLibs v1.14 also allows us to implement on-the-fly DoH connection filtering. Why is it so important? Previously, if you set up DoH in a browser but not in AdGuard, we had to filter requests directly in the browser and send them to the system DNS (unencrypted). This process lowered the level of security for such users. Now the situation is completely different. With on-the-fly DoH connection filtering, we can filter DNS requests in the browser without sending them to an unencrypted server.

We also made some minor fixes here and there, updated WFP and TDI drivers, as well as DnsLibs. Check out the massive changelog below and don’t forget to update!

Windows용 AdGuard 7.16 버전이 출시되었습니다. 이 버전의 가장 중요한 특징은 Windows용 AdGuard가 64비트 시스템과 호환된다는 점입니다.

무슨 뜻인가요?

대부분의 Windows 컴퓨터는 64비트 시스템에서 실행되는데, 이는 더 많은 메모리로 작동하고 일반적으로 32비트 이전 버전보다 더 강력하기 때문입니다. Windows용 AdGuard는 오랫동안 32비트에서 실행되었지만, 이제 64비트 버전도 제공됩니다. 이제 Windows용 AdGuard를 더욱 편리하게 사용할 수 있기를 바랍니다.

AdGuard는 여전히 32비트 컴퓨터에서 작동하나요?

Windows용 AdGuard는 32비트 컴퓨터에도 설치할 수 있습니다. 별도의 설치 프로그램을 다운로드할 필요 없이 시스템 비트를 감지하여 올바른 버전을 설치합니다.

이번 버전에서 필터링에 새롭게 추가된 기능이 있나요?

7.16 버전에서는 HTML 필터링 규칙에 선택기 지원을 추가하여 광고를 더욱 효과적으로 차단할 수 있게 되었습니다.

HTTP 인증

최신 DnsLib은 Windows용 AdGuard에 새로운 기능인 기본 HTTP 인증을 제공합니다. 이 기능이 유용한 이유는 무엇인가요?

DNS-over-HTTPS 프로토콜을 사용하는 사용자는 HTTP 프로토콜의 기능도 활용할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, DoH를 사용하면 일반 DNS 서버에는 없는 인증 옵션을 사용할 수 있습니다. 하지만 사용자 정의 DNS 서버가 있고 이에 대한 액세스를 제한하고 싶다면 어떻게 해야 할까요? 물론 IP 주소로 액세스를 제한하면 됩니다. 하지만 예를 들어 모바일 기기는 네트워크를 자주 변경합니다. 어떻게 해야 할까요? 이 경우 HTTP 인증을 사용할 수 있습니다. 이 기능을 지원하는 자체 DNS 서버를 Windows용 AdGuard에 추가하고 자격 증명을 지정한 후 이 서버에 연결하기만 하면 됩니다.

이 기능은 현재 AdGuard Home 및 AdGuard DNS에서 사용할 수 없지만 곧 추가될 예정입니다!

원본 인증서 보기

HTTPS 필터링의 경우, 원본 도메인 인증서를 확인하기 어려울 수 있습니다. AdGuard가 인증서의 유효성을 확인하지만, 직접 확인해야 할 수도 있습니다. 이 문제에 대한 자세한 내용은 지식 창고에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 사용자에게 HTTPS 필터링을 더욱 투명하게 제공하기 위해 AdGuard는 ‘필터링 로그’에서 원본 인증서를 볼 수 있는 옵션을 추가했습니다. 여기에서 웹 요청의 세부 정보를 확인하고, AdGuard가 사용한 암호화 종류를 확인하고, 원본 인증서를 볼 수 있습니다. 필터링 로그 *mobile

또한 WFP 및 TDI 드라이버가 업데이트되었습니다. 이 버전의 업데이트된 내용에 대한 자세한 내용은 변경 로그에서 확인할 수 있습니다.

CoreLibs (필터링 엔진)

CoreLibs가 v1.12.83으로 업데이트되었습니다 #4866

Windows용 AdGuard의 새 버전이 출시됩니다.

새로운 HTTP/3 필터링

이번 버전의 주요 내용 중 하나는 CoreLibs v1.12에 기반한 HTTP/3 필터링 지원이 추가되었다는 점입니다. HTTP/3(HTTP-over-QUIC)는 TCP 대신 QUIC을 사용하는 HTTP 프로토콜의 최신 버전입니다. QUIC 네트워크 프로토콜은 TCP 전송 계층 프로토콜에 비해 많은 이점을 제공합니다. 예를 들어, QUIC은 개인정보 보호 기능을 향상시키고, 더 빠른 인터넷 연결을 제공하며, 데이터 패킷을 원하는 순서대로 처리할 수 있게 해줍니다. 또한 HTTP/3 필터링을 활성화하면 광고를 더 효율적으로 차단할 수 있습니다.

현재 HTTP/3 필터링은 엣지 및 파이어폭스 브라우저에서만 작동합니다. 이는 Chrome이 QUIC 및 TCP 인증서를 확인하는 로직이 다르기 때문에 AdGuard 인증서를 허용하지 않기 때문입니다. 그러나 이 기능은 테스트 및 디버깅 목적으로 고급 설정에서 사용할 수 있어 원활한 작동을 보장합니다.

성가신 버그 수정

컨텍스트 메뉴의 사소한 문제를 해결했으며, 이제 다크 테마가 완벽하게 표시됩니다. 또한, 이제 설치 시 하나의 필터가 아닌 5개의 권장 광고 차단 필터에 쉽게 액세스할 수 있습니다. 이 버전은 성가신 광고로부터 사용자를 더 편안하게 보호합니다.

또한 Windows용 AdGuard의 전반적인 성능을 향상시키기 위해 몇 가지 개선이 이루어졌습니다. 이전에는 높은 메모리 사용량으로 인해 앱이 가끔 충돌하는 경우가 있었습니다. 이 문제를 해결했습니다. 그리고 인터넷 연결이 불안정하거나 매우 느린 경우, 앱이 예측할 수 없이 작동하거나 심지어 충돌할 수도 있었습니다. 이제 앱이 더 원활하게 작동합니다.

무엇보다도 WFP 및 TDI 드라이버를 업데이트했으며, 전통에 따라 더욱 안정적인 작동을 보장하기 위해 CoreLib, DnsLib 및 스크립틀릿도 업데이트했습니다.

이번 버전에서는 많은 변경 사항이 적용되었고 일부 버그가 수정되었지만, 먼저 고급 설정에서 구현된 새로운 기능을 소개해드리고자 합니다.

실험적인 Encrypted ClientHello 지원

Encrypted ClientHello(ECH)에 대한 실험적 지원이 추가되었다는 점은 특별히 언급할 가치가 있습니다. 이 새로운 기술은 HTTPS 연결을 완전히 암호화하여 ISP로부터 연결 중인 서버 이름을 숨기고 완벽한 개인정보 보호를 보장합니다.

이 기능을 활용할 수 있도록 고급 설정 섹션에 Encrypted ClientHello 사용 기능을 추가하고 모든 사용자에게 기본적으로 DNS 보호를 사용하도록 설정했습니다.

Encrypted ClientHello 사용 기능은 로우 레벨 ECH 차단 설정을 비활성화하고 DNS 보호를 활성화한 경우에만 작동할 수 있습니다. ECH는 DNS를 통해 얻은 데이터에 의존하므로 AdGuard가 이 데이터를 수신하고 사용자를 위해 전 세계적으로 ECH를 활성화하려면 DNS 필터링이 필요합니다.

Encrypted ClientHello 기술이 작동하려면 클라이언트와 서버 양쪽에서 모두 지원되어야 합니다. 현재 ECH 지원은 제한된 수의 애플리케이션에서 구현됩니다. 예로 크롬과 파이어폭스는 이 기능을 추가하는 중입니다. 안타깝게도 기다릴 수밖에 없습니다. 하지만 AdGuard를 사용하면 기기의 모든 앱과 브라우저에서 ECH 지원이 자동으로 작동합니다.

ECH가 작동하는지 확인하는 방법은 다음과 같습니다.

https://crypto.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace/으로 이동하여 ECH가 작동 중이면 sni=encrypted라고 표시됩니다.

https://defo.ie/ech-check.php으로 이동하여 ECH가 작동 중이면 SSL_ECH_STATUS: success라고 표시됩니다.

Encrypted ClientHello 사용 기능은 실험 중이므로 브라우징 속도가 약간 느려질 수 있습니다. 하지만 현재 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 노력 중입니다.

새로운 고급 설정

고급 설정 섹션에 Encrypted ClientHello 사용 기능 외에도 16개의 다른 기능이 추가되었습니다. 각 기능에 대한 자세한 설명은 지식 창고에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 아래에서는 이름만 알려드리겠습니다.

모든 새로운 고급 기능은 6개의 그룹으로 나눌 수 있습니다:

안티 DPI 옵션을 사용하면 필터링 중에 패킷을 낮은 수준에서 수정하여 심층 패킷 검사를 피할 수 있습니다.

초기 TLS 패킷의 조각화 크기 조정

일반 HTTP 요청에 추가 공백 추가

일반 HTTP 요청 조각 크기

킵얼라이브(Keepalive) 설정을 통해 킵얼라이브(Keepalive) 연결과 함께 작동하도록 설정을 구성할 수 있습니다.

TCP 연결 유지 사용

TCP 연결 유지 간격

TCP 연결 유지 시간 초과

필터링 제외 설정을 사용하면 Wi-Fi 네트워크와 특정 서브넷(CIDR 표기법에 명시됨)을 모두 DNS 필터링에서 제외할 수 있습니다.

필터링에서 지정된 IP 범위 제외

필터링에서 제외되는 IP 범위

지정된 Wi-Fi 네트워크 이름(SSID)을 DNS 필터링하지 않기

DNS 관련 옵션으로 DNS 설정을 세부적으로 조정할 수 있습니다.

대체 DNS 업스트림 사용

DNS-over-HTTPS에 HTTP/3 사용

DNS 업스트림 쿼리를 병렬로 수행

실패한 DNS 쿼리에 항상 응답

인증서 보안 옵션을 통해 웹사이트 및 웹 서비스의 인증서를 확인할 수 있습니다.

웹사이트의 인증서 투명성 확인

SSL/TLS 인증서 해지 확인 활성화

시스템 시작 시 필터링 활성화라는 기능을 켜면 앱이 시작되지 않은 상태에서도 필터링을 사용할 수 있습니다. 이제 기본적으로 AdGuard는 OS 시작 시 자동 시작 후 트래픽을 필터링하지 않습니다. AdGuard를 실행하지 않아도 필터링이 수행되도록 하려면 이 옵션을 활성화하세요.

v7.12 이전에는 시스템 시작 시 AdGuard 실행이 비활성화되어 있어도 기본적으로 필터링 모드에서 AdGard 서비스가 시작되었습니다. 이전 동작에 만족하셨다면 이 옵션을 활성화하세요.

정기적인 CoreLibs 및 DnsLibs 업데이트 외에도 WFP 및 TDI 드라이버와 ExtendedCSS가 업데이트되었습니다. 또한 이제 로컬 호스트 필터링 고급 기능을 비활성화할 수 있습니다. 하지만 이 기능을 비활성화하면 AdGuard 광고 차단기와 AdGuard VPN이 동시에 작동하지 않을 수 있다는 점에 유의하세요.

새 버전에서 가장 중요한 두 가지 변경 사항은 보호 기능을 더 빠르게 켜고 끌 수 있고 DNS 보호가 기본적으로 활성화된다는 것입니다. 그리고 몇 가지 버그가 수정되었고 CoreLibs 및 DnsLibs가 업데이트되었습니다. 또한 WFP 및 TDI 네트워크 드라이버가 개선되었습니다.

보호 기능을 더 빠르게 켜고 끌 수 있다

앱 성능이 크게 향상되었습니다. 이제 보호 기능을 훨씬 더 빠르게 활성화, 비활성화 및 다시 로드할 수 있습니다. 이전에는 보호 시작이 느려서 문제가 발생했습니다. 규칙 및 기타 보호 요소의 구현이 지연되었거나 웹 리소스가 보호를 통과하여 누출될 수도 있었습니다. 일부 연결은 필터링되지 않은 상태로 유지될 수 있었습니다. 그리고 응용 프로그램의 긴 실행으로 인해 사용자는 만족하지 못했습니다. 이 버전부터 프로그램 실행 속도가 빨라지고 보안이 강화됩니다.

DNS 보호는 기본적으로 활성화되어 있다

이제 AdGuard를 설치하면 DNS 보호가 자동으로 켜집니다. 기본적으로 ISP의 DNS 서버가 사용되며 보안을 위해 AdGuard DNS 필터가 활성화됩니다. 광고, 추적기 및 악성 도메인 요청이 자동으로 차단됩니다. 보안을 강화하기 위해 언제든지 목록에서 DNS 서버를 선택하거나 설정 → DNS 보호를 통해 사용자 정의 서버(예: 개인 AdGuard DNS 서버)를 추가할 수 있습니다. DNS 필터링을 통해 AdGuard는 브라우저가 광고 서버에 연결하기 전에도 광고와 추적기를 차단할 수 있습니다. 따라서 이번 업데이트는 광고 차단 속도와 품질을 개선하는 데도 도움이 되었습니다. 또한 DNS 보호는 "숨겨진" 추적기를 보다 효과적으로 차단합니다.

저희는 실수로부터 빨리 배웁니다. 수동 필터 업데이트가 완벽하게 작동하지 않아 이를 수정하고 핫픽스를 출시했습니다.

새로운 계절을 맞아 Windows용 AdGuard의 새 버전을 출시하였습니다. Windows용 AdGuard v7.10을 만나 보세요!

이 버전에서 가장 중요한 변경 사항은 DPI로부터 보호하는 기능이 추가되었다는 것입니다.

[개선 사항] AdGuard 스텔스 모드에 DPI로부터 보호라는 옵션 추가#4175

심층 패킷 분석(DPI, Deep Packet Inspection)은 패킷 내용별 트래픽을 심층 분석 및 필터링하고 통계 데이터를 축적하는 기술입니다. 이 기술을 사용하면 인터넷 서비스 공급자가 전달되는 트래픽을 제어하여 콘텐츠에 대한 클라이언트의 액세스를 제한할 수 있습니다.

이제 AdGuard는 클라이언트가 DPI 차단에 걸리지 않도록 나가는 패킷 데이터를 수정할 수 있으므로 사용자는 차단을 피하고 원하는 콘텐츠에 액세스할 수 있습니다. 그러나 아직 모든 DPI 시스템을 우회할 수 있는 것은 아닙니다. 모든 DPI을 우회할 수 있도록 열심히 노력하고 있습니다.

[개선 사항] WFP 및 TDI 네트워크 드라이버

네트워크 드라이버가 업데이트 및 개선되어 앱 효율성 및 다른 소프트웨어와의 호환성이 향상되었습니다. 또한 WFP 드라이버의 일부 버그가 수정되었습니다.

[개선 사항] 업데이트 창에 다크 테마 추가됨 #4156

업데이트 창에 다크 테마가 추가되었습니다.

이 릴리스에서는 DNS 기능도 개선되었습니다. 시스템 DNS 주소 변경에 대한 앱 반응이 향상되어 자체 DNS 서버를 사용하는 네트워크 앱과의 비호환성 문제가 발생할 가능성이 줄어듭니다. 또한 Corelibs와 DNSlibs가 업데이트되었습니다. 모든 변경 사항은 아래에 나열되어 있습니다.

We once again reviewed GitHub repo and realized that we had been working for almost six months on version 7.7. And less than two months on version 7.8. Yes, there were fewer tasks in this version, but we did a good job on improving everything: Browsing Security, network drivers, CoreLibs and DNSLibs, other minor features, and – hopefully – your user experience.

[Enhancement] Browsing Security

Browsing Security is a module that blocks requests to malicious and phishing websites. You might have seen a nice looking banner caringly stating "AdGuard has blocked access to this page": that's what Browsing Security does. Now it's working a way better: requests for information about malicious domains are not sent to a server, but to a periodically updated database stored locally on your computer. This is faster and safer.

[Enhancement] WFP and TDI network drivers

We've also updated and enhanced our network drivers for Windows – WFP and TDI. Both have been helpful, among other things, to improve compatibility with other applications.

Other good stuff

And of course, there is no release without updating CoreLibs, our main filtering engine, and DNSLibs. Meet their new versions: more flexible, more powerful. As always: minor bugs have been fixed. As always: perfection has no limits.

Hope that your holidays will be safer with AdGuard.

We’ve come a long way through ~~bugs~~ thorns to the stars and finally reached the finish line (we hope so!) Many apologies for the last few versions of AdGuard for Windows: they had to be really good, but something went wrong. In one week since the last release, with your help we have found and fixed several disappointing flaws, as well as bugs in the application drivers, which turned out to be the main issue of v7.7.1. And of course we’ve updated CoreLibs — it couldn't happen any other way!

Changelog

[Fixed] Driver installation failed on v7.7.1 #3986

[Fixed] New tab in Edge is broken when AdGuard is on #1541

[Other] Update CoreLibs to v1.8.240 #3996

Unfortunately, the larger the update, the more the risk of letting some bugs through. The latest release of AdGuard for Windows exposed several of those so we’re ready with a hotfix. Thanks to all users who sent reports to us — it wouldn’t be possible without your help! As a result, we fixed the bugs that some of you had encountered. For instance, we fixed a network filtering bug that prevented the application from working correctly. We also solved the problem with incorrect work of the tray menu icon. In addition, we slightly redesigned the “Advanced settings” block for easier navigation.

One beta and two RCs — and here comes AdGuard v7.7 for Windows! This time we didn't encounter significant difficulties on our way to the release stage, so the development cycle turned out to be fast. Hope you'll enjoy the way the new version of AdGuard for Windows works, meanwhile we'll keep moving to the top — v8.0.

The main focus of this release was to fix bugs and improve user experience. We performed tough tests and were unable to crash the app! But you can surely fix it, right? 🙂

For starters, we implemented low-level DNS settings, added the Finnish language and updated other translations.

There are not many significant changes in this version but we’ve put our energy into something no less important. We updated CoreLibs and DNSLibs, fixed various issues along the way, and did some magic with the filtering log to make it more user-friendly.

[Enhancement] Added low-level DNS settings

There is a new section named Blocking mode for DNS in low-level settings. Now you can select the response type if you've requested a DNS domain blocked by a DNS filtering rule. There are three response types to choose from.

Besides, settings with fallback servers were modified. In the previous v7.6.1 there was a simple option Enable DNS Fallback. Now users not only can enable it, but also select whether they want to use the system or custom fallback DNS. By the way, you can add several fallback servers at once.

And finally, there are DNS exclusions — domains in this list will be resolved through the system DNS.

After the recent v7.6 release a small percentage of users encountered a rather severe issue of not being able to update any filters, or even the app itself. This problem isn't very common but extremely critical to those who ran into it, so it justifies an immediate hotfix.

If you're one of the unlucky ones to have this problem, AdGuard will not update automatically for you. You need to check for updates manually or reinstall the app.

[Fixed] AdGuard cannot connect to the Internet to check filters updates / license status #3758

The explanation for this problem is quite technical. No reason to cite it here, you can find the detailed explanation in this comment by AdGuard's CTO.

Changelog

[Fixed] No filtering until "Filter localhost" is enabled after updating from v7.5 to v7.6 #3762

[Other] Minor fixes & improvements

Usually, it takes us north of 2-3 beta versions to prepare the next AdGuard for Windows release. But not this time: the first (and only) beta for v7.6 carried enough impact on its own. We added custom DNS filters, DNS-over-QUIC support for AdGuard DNS, and, of course, made the app compatible with AdGuard VPN.

[Enhancement] Custom DNS subscriptions support #3641

In v7.5 we introduced DNS protection module. To refresh your memory: it offered the option to select any DNS server instead of the system default as another way to enhance your online privacy. What it didn't offer is any way to customize the DNS filtering. Once you selected the server and the preferred encryption protocol, you were set.

In this release, we give you a range of new options to shape the DNS filtering the way you want. It includes several tools, all of which can be found inside the DNS filters editor section.

DNS user rules — the most basic way to block/allow DNS requests. Works very similarly to the regular User rules. Note that it supports DNS filtering syntax, which is much less complex than the syntax for network filtering.

Importing a DNS filter — click on the 'plus' icon in the bottom left corner, and you'll see a new window pop up. Click on the Import filter button and then either enter a filter URL or browse a suitable local filter. You can find a lot of DNS filters on this website. AdGuard DNS filter is the only one available by default.

Adding a custom DNS filter — accesible by clicking the 'plus' icon and then choosing the Add custom filter option. Choose a name and a description and then treat the new DNS filter like any other: import rules, add or remove them manually one by one, disable and enable the filter at will in one click.

[Enhancement] DNS-over-QUIC support

When you choose AdGuard DNS server in DNS protection, you now have an option to select DNS-over-QUIC as your encryption protocol of choice. It's the newest protocol, with lots of advantages, and AdGuard DNS is the first public DNS provider to offer it.

[Other] Improved compatibility with AdGuard VPN

AdGuard for Windows was already compatible with AdGuard VPN, but in this release we pushed it even further. We fixed several bugs and now the two apps will work more smoothly alongside each other.

[Other] ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on some websites #1374

This week Chrome 87 was released, which has a compatibility problem with AdGuard when using the HTTP/2 filtering protocol - some sites may experience regular hangs and download errors. In this update we have improved HTTP/2 filtering compatibility with Chrome 87, it is recommended to upgrade to the new stable version as soon as possible. :)

This release incorporates all the best of two previous beta versions and two release candidates. Double-checking neve hurts, right?

There are four key changes, starring DNS filtering that will protect your DNS traffic from interception by ISPs and fraudsters. Another killer feature is an updated Stealth Mode. We’ve expanded its functionality by adding four new options that prevent Windows from collecting user data. Plus, license activation via social login and pausing protection for 30 sec. A good advanced toolkit for an ad blocker, we’d say.

DNS filtering

This feature has been long present in other AdGuard products. Not only will the DNS module protect your DNS traffic from the ISP’s and fraudsters’ interception, it will also block ads. However, it’s important to stress that the DNS doesn’t replace normal protection, rather it works best when coupled with it.

We have a wide and regularly updated database of domain names, and now you can set it up on AdGuard for Windows.

You can choose the server type (DNS-over-HTTPS/DNS-over-TLS, etc.) that suits your needs best or add your own custom DNS server. Also, here is a link to our Knowledge base, where we have collected the most popular DNS providers and added a quick setup option. One click, and your DNS is ready for use.

Disable Windows 10 Tracking

Windows Tracking has four options: you can disable Windows telemetry, turn off advertising ID, disable Windows Defender automatic samples submission and disable WAP push message routing service.

To illustrate the significance of disabling system telemetry, let’s take Cortana, a virtual assistant developed by Microsoft. Its feature set is enabled by default and periodically sends usage and performance data to Microsoft. This assistant helps, but it also gathers a lot of statistics. If you, as a user, have privacy concerns (which is completely understandable and even expected in this day and age), we’ll help to disable telemetry nice and easy.

As for removing an Advertising ID, if you checkmark this option, you will stop receiving Microsoft ads (in the action center, start menu, etc.).

Authorization and license activation via social networks

This function has already been available in our app for Android. We decided to add it here, too, because it’s truly a convenience feature.

Now, you have one more option of how to activate your license: not only via logging to your AdGuard personal account or manually entering your license key. If the email from your AdGuard personal account and the email you use for authorization in Google or Facebook are the same, you can simply authorize via these social networks. No more trying to remember email/password from your personal account and entering it! One click, and you are logged in and your license key is activated.

Pause protection for 30 seconds

In v7.4 we introduced the new BA – more independent, glorious and autonomous. But despite it’s good in many aspects, some users asked us to return one missing thing from the old Assistant. So we did.

The old Assistant had a menu option ‘Do not filter for 30 seconds’. For instance, this function will help when you need to visit a website that won’t work when an ad blocker is enabled. In this case it makes sense to briefly disable filtering and see its content. That’s what the returned back ‘Do not filter for 30 seconds’ is also used for. But we went further and made it more convenient by adding a new function called ‘Disable protection for 30 seconds’. It will disable filtering on all websites for the same time period. You can find it in the tray menu of the main app.

Four major tasks don’t seem like a big deal. Actually, we performed many more tasks, but some of them have been omitted.

Minor changes

Here we go - the Hotfix 2! A few more UI improvements, now it runs a lot smoother. Also, we paid special attention to the Firefox compatibility problem. Five quick stitches and AdGuard for Windows is patched up as good as new.

[Fixed] Date format view is invalid with some system language settings: #3136

[Fixed] The latest windows nightly version cannot automatically update local rules: #3347

[Fixed] Firefox policies page: #3336

[Fixed] Slow Filter Update which leads to UI hang: #3348

[Fixed] Disabling AdGuard Assistant will remove HTTPS certificate in Firefox when AdGuard is Closed into the background: #3352

Release rule №1 (or Murphy’s law, if you like): even when everything seems perfect, one or two hotfixes follow the new version.

This is a minor post-release fix. We’ve slightly tweaked UI trial windows, so now ‘I have a license’ option is not hidden anymore in some cases. Also, fixed the issue when a message can't be sent to support. And we also took our chance to polish a few other important things under the hood.

[Fixed] The trial window localization issue #3333

[Fixed] Unable to send a message to support #3337

There's a clear headliner for the new AdGuard for Windows update: AdGuard Browser Assistant. It's a browser extension to help manage filtering right from the web page that replaces the old Assistant. We also fixed a bunch of bugs and overall enhanced the app to work faster and better.

Browser Assistant

By developing this new product, we've resolved a couple of pretty important issues that the old Assistant had, without losing in functionality.

[Enhancement] Browser Assistant #2985

Meet our new AdGuard Browser Assistant! From a mere dependant userscript in AdGuard desktop apps it has evolved to become a full-fledged browser extension.

Obviously, new Assistant has the functions of the old one included but it’s far more cool and user-friendly. And it came in extremely handy, helping us solve three major problems at once:

Former AdGuard Assistant was a dependent userscript able to communicate with the app only using a certain protocol. On the contrary, new Assistant is independent: it’s installed in a browser, and you don’t need to wait while the script would be injected into the filtered web page. Putting it simply, it is more autonomous. Technically the new Assistant can be used without the app, although the app is required for the full capacity.

When AdGuard desktop app and our browser extension were used in so-called integration mode, the extension icon took over Assistant's functions. However, they could hamper each other’s work. Some websites would stop being protected by the desktop program and be backed up only by the extension which has less possibilities. With new Assistant being extension itself, there is no need to install our regular browser extension anymore, which means there is no risk of an incompatibility.

Some people didn't like seeing the old Assistant’s presence at webpages, plain an simple. New Assistant's icon resides safely next to the browser's address bar – zero chance to stand in the way of website's content.

[Enhancement] Own settings tab #3118

From now on, you can open this tab and get the Assistant for your default browser in one click. And in case your browser is a rare one, you can always lay on the legacy non-extension version – it works everywhere.

[Enhancement] Onboarding process #3119

During the installation, AdGuard determines your default browser and prompts you with a download link for Assistant. If your browser is not compatible with AdGuard, the legacy version is automatically enabled.

One of the best things about Christmas is that everyone gives each other presents! So here’s our humble gift to you: AdGuard v7.3 for Windows. We hope you’ll like it, because we put a lot of effort into its development.

This version features improved ad blocking (thanks to added support for scriptlets and new modifiers), some major networking improvements and a new option to activate AdGuard via your adguard.com personal account.

[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 fight adblocker circumvention, for example, and is also useful 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.

[Improved] Proxy mode can now be used alongside automatic traffic filtering #2696, #3055

Previously, you had to choose between using AdGuard to filter all traffic on the current system, or setting it up as an HTTP proxy to funnel traffic of particular apps or devices through AdGuard (but without filtering it).
Now you can have the best of both worlds, and even more: filter application and browser traffic on the current PC and at the same time use AdGuard as a filtering proxy for other devices (yes, now their traffic will be filtered too). To select the configuration you want go to Network settings.

[Added] Activating AdGuard by linking personal Account #2931

Something we’ve tested in other AdGuard products and found positive feedback is an option to activate AdGuard by linking the app with your adguard.com account. In this case, instead of entering the license key, you put in your Account credentials (login/password). The app automatically looks for a valid license key in your Account and uses it to activate AdGuard.

Rarely there's a critical level bug that shows itself over 2 months since the last release, but here we are. We can't really call this update a hotfix, but it's certainly urgent. This patch fixes a bug that in some circumstances could break cosmetic filtering on all webpages.

Some users reported critical compatibility issues in AdGuard 7.2, mainly with Emsisoft software. This is a hotfix that will solve these problems, and we also seized the opportunity to update CoreLibs and make some other changes.

You can help us make sure such incidents won't happen again by joining our beta testing program. Millions of AdGuard users will thank you (and you'll even get a beta tester's license key for free)!

It’s showtime: let’s welcome AdGuard 7.2 for Windows official release.

For several months, we have been working in full swing on everything - design, performance, compatibility issues with other programs, general filtering improvement and much more. And now it’s time to tell you in detail what the new version is capable of. So let’s take a look at all changes in this update.

[Changed] Installer redesign #2574

When the visual style of your app’s installer doesn’t fit the visual style of the app itself, it’s not good. Same as wearing sandals with socks. So we fixed it!

The new installer looks so good, sometimes we uninstall AdGuard just to look at it once more. Hope you like it just as much as we do! And if not, no big deal: you’re not going to come across it too often, hopefully.

[Added] Installer crash reporting tool #2566

One of the most annoying types of crashes, both for users and developers, is when the app crashes during the installation. Our usual crash reporting tool was useless in such cases. What’s the logical solution? Correct, to give the installer its own reporting tool!

As you can see, it looks almost exactly the same. Nothing will be sent without your consent, and you can also add a comment with the description of the problem to help our developers fix the crash faster.

[Added] “Filter localhost" advanced setting #2830

Some apps, for example antiviruses, may use localhost for interactions between their components. In rare cases it could lead to compatibility problems. Now it’s possible to manage filtering of localhost with the help of the new setting.

Be sure that you know what you’re doing before messing with any of the advanced settings!

You can find this setting among advanced settings. By default, it’s disabled. We advise to try to enable it only if you experience very serious issues, e.g. when web pages don’t load or there’s no internet connection.

Ad blocking

[Fixed] Stealth mode settings reset after the app update #2839

Usually, new stable versions are preceded with a number of betas and take longer than a month to develop. But this one is a bit different, its purpose is mainly to fix some incompatibilities (such as Windscribe VPN), so it makes a lot of sense to release this version as soon as possible. It should also spark interest in Firefox users, as we addressed several certificate-related problems unique to that browser.

Finally, we're pretty sure we are done with eliminating bugs that were preventing us from sharing with you all the awesome new stuff that awaits you in the new version of AdGuard for Windows. So, welcome: AdGuard 7.0! From the very start you'll notice the difference, as you'll be greeted by renovated UI design. And the more you use the new version, the better you'll find it, hopefully: brand new CoreLibs filtering engine will make ad blocking better and faster. There are more goodies inside, so let's get to the gist.

[Improved] UI and installer redesign #2574

It is somewhat of a tradition by this point to have a UI redesign with each major AdGuard for Windows version upgrade. This time will not be an exception. AdGuard 7.0 for Windows will look very different from the current familiar version. Yes: AG for Windows now has a dark theme too! Love it or hate it, it's there, it's optional and you are free to embrace it or ignore it altogether.

The installation wizard follows the trend and gets a redesign too. It only makes sense, because the installer is the first thing new users see when they start their acquaintance with AdGuard, and it better be good! Hope you'll find it an upgrade too.

[Improved] Corelibs

Everybody knows what CoreLibs is by this point, but we'll remind anyway: it is a filtering engine that drives the whole process of ad blocking in most AdGuard products, AdGuard for Windows included. And with every new version of CL these products become better: the quality of ad blocking increases, they work faster and become more stable. This beta of AdGuard 7.0 for Windows features the most recent of CoreLibs version, which means this is as good as it gets. Well, at least until the next CoreLibs update :) ,In this beta we make an emphasis on UI changes but also fix several crashes. We also took this opportunity to introduce a new userscript — AdGuard Extra.,This is more of a hotfix than a beta. Some Firefox users reported problems with browser freezing. We determined that this behavior was a sequence of hanged connections, which in its turn was caused by a CoreLibs bug. It’s crucial to eliminate all such bugs before we release a stable version (which will be soon), so here we are.

[Added] Automatic crash reports #2298

Sometimes apps crash, and you can do nothing about it. Reasons can be very different, and so are solutions. To be able to investigate every crash individually and find a proper fix to it, we add integration with an automatic crash report system. If AdGuard crashes, upon the next launch you'll be asked if you want to send a crash report.

Nothing will ever be sent without your consent, and if you want to know what exactly is in the report, you can check out our Privacy Policy. We'll appreciate each and every report, as it will help us greatly in making AdGuard for Windows more stable.

[Added] AdGuard Extra extension #2648

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 Windows is the second AdGuard product to get this addition, we are thrilled to see it in action and read your feedback on it.

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated

[Improved] The way to get userscripts' and filter subscriptions' content #2379

This version makes a strong accent on the Networking issues. This doesn’t mean everything else was abandoned, on the contrary, there’s been a lot of ad blocking- and UI-related fixes and improvements, just the network-related fixes happened to be the most important ones.

[Fixed] Unrelated TCP connections get reset when starting AdGuard service #2291

AdGuard needs to reset connections when it starts/restarts its service in order to properly filter them. What AdGuard doesn’t have to do is to reset connections that it is not going to filter anyway. So from now on, it won’t do it, as simple as that.

[Fixed] Avast Free prevents AdGuard from suppressing QUIC #2310

The current way of whitelisting apps from filtering for WFP driver has been extended to TDI driver. It allows to avoid compatibility issues with other software, especially with antivirus software.

[Improved] TLS version has been upgraded #2337

Up to this moment we were using a draft of TLS 1.3 technology (#2155), as we always want to be at the cutting edge. Now, as TLS 1.3 standard was officially accepted by IETF, we are happy to say that AdGuard supports the most modern encrypting standards.

[Improved] Popup Blocker has been updated to v2.5 #2295

Popup Blocker is an extension (userscript) that is added to AdGuard by default. As it’s clear from its name, it helps block various popup windows (most of which are all kinds of ads). It’s been around forever, but the new version for the first time features its own UI accessable from “Extensions” settings tab. You can whitelist websites there or disable notifications for certain websites. The blocking capabilities have been improved too, of course.

[Changed] TLS 1.2 is used by default if Avast is detected #2368

As we’ve said earlier, TLS 1.3 is the current standard, but some antiviruses still use v1.2, notably Avast. We would like to completely switch to v1.3 but have to take this into consideration.

[Fixed] Application update resets Assistant settings and restores deleted extensions #2365

There won’t be enough fingers combined on hands of all people in our office to count the number of times users complained about this issue. One of our current priorities is to make the process of updating AdGuard as smooth as possible, and certainly preserving users’ settings is a big step in that direction.

[Improved] Localizations have been updated, new languages have been added (Slovenian, Czech, Belarusian) #2361

While we are still polishing CoreLibs and are not ready to implement it just yet, we can sweeten the waiting with this new release. New "Nightly" update channel, added TLS1.3 support, improved performance and many more other changes.

[Added] Nightly update channel

The concept of a “Nightly” build is very simple. It literally means “a build that is released at the end of every day”, hence “nightly”. In reality, it may not happen every single day, but rather every 3 or 4 days, but the idea is there. All the latest changes made by developers will be included in the nightly build (yes, including possible bugs — be prepared!). If you feel that beta is not enough for you, and you need to be a step ahead of the rest, this is the choice for you. Just go to AdGuard settings and switch to Nightly update channel.

[Added] TLS1.3 Support (draft 28) #2155

TLS 1.3 is a new version of the cryptographic protocol used to encrypt messages sent via HTTP. It is faster, more secure and overall better than its predecessors. It has not been accepted by IETF as a standard yet, but it is only a matter of time. The process has already started, and we want to be at the forefront, and thus we have already added the TLS 1.3 (draft 28) support. As not everyone supports TLS1.3 yet, there can be problems on some websites potentially, so we added a new advanced setting to switch between TLS versions at will.

[Added] Option to subscribe to a filter by clicking a special link on a webpage #1945

Many filter developers put a special subscription link on their filters' homepage. Now AdGuard is able to detect these links when you click on them and will ask you if you'd like to subscribe to that filter right away. A minor thing, but it will save you just enough of extra clicks to be worthy.

[Added] A notice to inform about closed connections to websites with EV certificate #2015

Some websites have so-called EV (extended validation) certificates — basically, this means that the owner went through a very long and thorough process of validating their identity. In other words, these websites are generally the safest on the web. Filtering these websites is often extensive, as they rarely have ads anyway, but can sometimes lead to conflicts. AdGuard provides an option to disable filtering for such websites, and if it is enabled, a notification will inform you when you visit them for the first time. Clicking on the notification will allow to force filtering on the website anyway.

[Added] Stealth mode options applied to requests added to Filtering log #247

This is something a lot of aspiring filtering rules creators asked for. Knowing which Stealth Mode options affected this or that request is often crucial when working on a new rule. Now you can find it right in the Filtering log when you select a request. For sure, this sounds a little bit nerdy for an average user, but we try to take into account needs of all our users, casual and advanced alike.

[Changed] Default builder has been drastically reworked #1965

Basically, this is the change that caused the build size reduction that was advertised in the introduction. As the app accretes new features over the years and the code mounts up, this becomes more and more relevant. Thanks to this change, now we can add even more!

[Improved] Better support for visually impaired users #2068

AdGuard tries to provide the best online experience for all users alike, and visually impaired users are no exception. Starting with this version, AdGuard menus are much better suited to be read by NVDA Screen Reader and other screen reading programs.

[Improved] Filters update procedure's performance #2211

If you had the misfortune of a habit to update your filters often, you certainly noticed that it took quite a lot of time, as well as installing new filters. We addressed this problem, the situation should change drastically for the better now.

Ad Blocking

[Added] Option to subscribe to a filter by clicking a special link on a webpage #1945

[Fixed] "Block Flash" setting doesn't block Adobe Flash #2058

[Fixed] AdGuard cannot start protection after installing an update #2033

Over the last weeks, we've received several reports about bugs that slithered in the latest release. They turned out to be both moderately important and relatively easy to fix, so we decided to release a new update off-schedule.

[Fixed] "Reinstall certificate" feature does not work in Firefox #2013

While not being the most important feature, the automatic certificate reinstall is more relevant for Firefox-based browsers than for any other ones. This fix eliminates the need to do it manually.

[Fixed] Baofeng video software compatibility issue #1993

[Fixed] Several userscripts compatibility issues #1986

Hello! The changelog this time is truly gigantic. Every time we thought we were going to release the current version, there was always something we felt was essential to fix, add or improve. How did it turn out?

Let's start with UI changes. Both Filtering log and Filter editor have been seriously redesigned. We need to say a big 'thank you' to everyone who has expressed his or her opinion because few changes depend as heavily on users' feedback as these.

[Changed] Filtering log rework #96

We know for certain that quite a few of our users are actively using Filtering log — both for creating new custom rules and generally knowing what's going on. So why not help them a bit? It has undergone a major renovation. New Filtering log overlaps with Filter editor a great bit, for example, you can create new rules and unblock blocked requests right therefrom.

There are more details to see about each request, too. The request details dialog window is very reminiscent of the Developer tools in Chrome browser. All in all, the new Filtering log is much more than a simple list of which requests are blocked and which are not.

[Changed] Filter editor rework #1293

Filter editor has also changed for the best. The addition of an 'Edit mode' allows replacing the data grid with a text area. This lets you copy/paste/delete many rules at once without having to bother with export/import.

Basic hotkeys are now available, which will speed up the process of working with the filter editor. There are many other quality of life changes, especially to the UI, which will draw your attention as soon as you launch the new version.

[Added] Integration with Windows 10 notifications center #1554

Many Windows 10 users find the Notification center to be helpful when it comes to tracking the activity of their apps. We have finally decided to take advantage of it and integrated AdGuard with the center. AdGuard has a surprisingly decent amount of various notifications. Just to name a few: notifications related to the license/trial period, automatic filter activations, new rules in User filter, Safebrowsing triggers, update checks results, etc. If you use Windows 10, you'll be able to find them all in one place now, thus making it much easier to keep up with what's going on with AdGuard.

[Changed] Network settings moved to a separate settings tab #1404

This one is rather straightforward. Previously, all network settings were crowding inside the 'General settings' tab making it harder to scroll up in down, searching for the one setting you need. Adding a separate first-level tab makes it easier to navigate through the app.

Assistant and other extensions

While not being an integral part of AdGuard for Windows, some extensions (or *userscripts*) have grown over time to become strongly associated with it. And we showed them some love!

AdGuard Assistant

A lot has been done in terms of improving AdGuard Assistant, and a lot more is planned for the future, so we decided to allocate it a separate, own GitHub repository: https://github.com/AdGuardTeam/AdGuardAssistant/

By the way, you may notice that the 'Report website' button now leads to a whole new page. Basically, what you see is a web reporting tool that allows you to easily send us a report on anything from a missed ad to a false positive. More about this later.

What else is done already? The biggest change is the ability to drag the Assistant icon across the page and place it wherever you see fit. Moreover, AdGuard will memorize the position of the Assistant icon for each website separately, so you can really customize it according to your taste and preferences.

The Assistant interface overall has become smaller but retained full functionality compared to earlier versions. There is even one new feature: a switch for toggling the filtering on the website on and off. Previously, the Assistant wasn't shown on websites with disabled filtering, and you had to go to User filter to enable it back.

Oh, and we could use your help with translating the new Assistant. Did you know that anyone can volunteer as a translator? If you feel confident, head right here and find your native language. Don't forget to read through the translator's memo.

AdGuard PopupBlocker

[Added] AdGuard PopupBlocker extension v2.1 #1883

For quite a while now, AdGuard works as a userscript manager — you can install any script via AdGuard to use it in any browser. PopupBlocker has always been one of the 'native' userscripts that are installed by default, alongside AdGuard Assistant. Its purpose is clear — to block any unwanted pop-ups.

Previous version (v1.0) was functional but very little beyond that. We have completely redesigned the PopupBlocker. It now has advanced pop-up detection, compared to its predecessor and its alternatives, restores the initial click behavior and is invisible to other scripts. All in all, new PopupBlocker is a solid addition to your online protection suite.

By the way, it is available as a standalone script that can be used on its own with any other userscript manager. To find more information about PopupBlocker, visit its GitHub repository.

Reports web app

[Added] Integration with Reports Web App #1964

When it comes to keeping our filter lists updated, we owe our users a big one. Thanks to their timely reports of missed ads, false positives etc., AdGuard filters are always up-to-date. We want to make the process of reporting a website easy for users and informative for filter developers, that’s why we decided to integrate AdGuard for Windows with a special web reporting tool.

When you see any problem like missed ad or annoyance, click on the Assistant icon and choose “Report this website”. You will be taken to a new page and asked to fill in some information about your AdGuard settings and the nature of the problem. Good thing is that AdGuard pre-fills most of the fields automatically, so most of the job is already done for you :)

We hope this change will strengthen the feedback from our users and allow AdGuard filters to stay at the cutting edge of ad blocking technology.

Userscripts handling

[Changed] The way AdGuard handles userscripts #1714

A lot of effort has been put into improving (better to say, rethinking) the way AdGuard works with userscripts. This actually has two different aspects:

First, from now on, the communication between AdGuard and Assistant is based on WebSocket, which results in better performance. This is also perfectly applicable to AdGuard Browser extension, when it is working in the integration mode with AdGuard for Windows.

Second, we have taken a whole complex of measures that allow for any external userscripts that you install via AdGuard to show higher speed and execution stability.

Other important changes

[Added] Settings export/import #1405

A lot of users were asking for this, and finally we deliver. Now you can save your settings configuration into a file and then use it to set up AdGuard on another machine exactly how you prefer. Another implication of this is to quickly switch between different settings profiles without having to feverishly click through a dozen of tabs and checkboxes.

[Improved] A complete "Exit AdGuard" functionality was added #1509

Now users have a choice between closing AdGuard as they usually do, and closing it completely. That means closing the Windows service as well as UI, and when UI is getting started again, the service will start as well (you may be asked for the admin privileges, though).

[Added] An option to create custom filters not backed with a file #1669

In addition to the usual option of adding any list by URL or loading it from a local file, you can now create independent new filters from scratch. It is possible to create several such filters, give each of them their own name and fill with any rules. As a result, you can create a set of specified filters which can be separately enabled, disabled and edited.

This update might not be the biggest one, in a sense it doesn't feature any revolutionary additions or the immense number of changes. But it's surely a unique one, and it's because it is by far the most influenced by the user feedback. We sincerely thank everyone who has helped us!

It is super important for two big reasons, both concern networking/compatibility: we have *finally* fixed the compatibility issue with KIS/ESET and, also, we've fixed a certificate issue in modern Chrome versions (59+). Details below.

[Fixed] Compatibility with KIS/ESET #1565

AdGuard used to have compatibility issues with such antivirus software like Kaspersky and ESET. Users had to seek for compromises: disabling SSL scanning in antivirus, disabling WFP driver or even HTTPS filtering in AdGuard. The core of the problem was the WFP network driver incompatibility, and we had had plans to develop a new driver for what now seems like an eternity.

We'd already claimed to have this fixed in the previous releases, but things turned out to be more complicated. We've come through countless iterations, test builds, and driver updates, and now we are confident enough to say that this time the problem is fixed for real. No more BSODs and other funny stuff when you run AdGuard alongside with KIS or ESET.

And again, we can't thank enough everyone who was willing to cope with raw test builds and provided invaluable feedback in order to help us make things right. Just look at the task - it is blowing up with comments. We are happy to have such users, you are awesome.

[Fixed] Compatibility with Chrome 59+

With big news which WFP driver compatibility fix is it could be easy to neglect other changes. And that would be so wrong! This fix, in particular, is of utmost importance. It ensures AdGuard will run without problems on modern (v59+) Chrome versions. Otherwise, there would be troubles with AdGuard certificate validation.

Other

[Changed] The search criteria in the filtering log were extended #1513

[Changed] Connections are not allowed if DH1024 is in use #1616

[Changed] The default HTTPS exclusions list has been updated #1618

[Fixed] AdGuard Service keeps downloading data after closing the browser #1599

[Fixed] An error encountered when adding a filter by URL #1583

UPD: hotfix update 6.1.314 brings a fix for the bug #1569, messing with filtering when HTTPS filtering is disabled.

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 before, finally, we felt ready to include it in the new release version. But what is there for me in this network driver, you might ask? Well, it fixes an old compatibility issue with several antivirus programs. For sure, there are other fixes and changes as well, and you will find the whole list below.

You can also find all relevant information about this release (and discuss it) in our blog.

Networking

[Improved] WFP driver was updated to fix compatibility issues with KIS and ESET #1497

Previously, it was not unusual at all that AdGuard would have compatibility issues with some antiviruses, and KIS and ESET being the most common ones. The workarounds existed but were far from ideal - you had had to sacrifice some parts of functionality on either AdGuard or antivirus side. With updated WFP driver these conflicts will be no more, allowing users to run AdGuard alongside with KIS and ESET.

[Improved] The way we respond to HTTP protocol violation #1452

It would take too long to explain technical nuances, but effectively this fixes the problem some users might have come across before: when you try to open a page and it is downloaded as a file instead.

[Fixed] $popup rule bug #1504

[Fixed] QUIC protocol issue when KIS is installed #1482

[Fixed] HideUserSearch option breaks the 'maximize' button graphics #1536

[Fixed] 'Disable Fast Open' setting doesn't work in latest Insider Preview builds #1487

Other

[Changed] Opera Neon browser added to the list of filtered apps #1495

[Changed] Orbitum browser added to the list of filtered apps #1467

This version should be considered as a revision of the AdGuard for Windows 6.1 release. This is why you will not spot many 'major' changes - mostly bugfixes, small changes, improvements etc. More drastic changes will come eventually with 6.2 version.

Ad Blocking

[Added] $important modifier #1312

This new addition is an important one (no pun intended), but mostly relevant for creators of custom filter rules. With it's help you can give certain rules higher priority.

[Changed] WOT extension is now disabled by default #1364

Recently, an article was posted in one of the popular technology blogs, claiming that Web of Trust is selling its users' browser history to third-parties. WoT extension is preinstalled in AdGuard for Windows, and although it was developed by us and is not sending any of your data to WoT, we can not leave this without a reponse. For this reason we make WoT extension disabled by default in AdGuard for Windows. You can read our official stance regarding these news in our blog.

[Changed] You can now completely remove WoT extension #1364

[Changed] Unnecessary text in 'Import rules' dialog window is removed #1349

[Fixed] Filter's name isn't copied with the rest of request details #1318

[Fixed] Button size issue on the last step of AdGuard wizard #1352

[Fixed] AdGuard crashes if you try to close UI while editing a filter rule #1258

[Fixed] $replace rule is shown as applied to images #1392

Install/Update

[Fixed] Deleted records from HTTPs exclusions are not restored on app update anymore #904

Many other minor fixes and changes. The full list can be found in descriptions to prior beta versions in our repository on GitHub.

Briefly about new AdGuard for Windows version: Stealth Mode got new useful options, userscripts work better now, ad blocking became more advanced and our network drivers - more stable. All the details are below.

Stealth Mode

[Added] "Self destructing cookies" option in Stealth Mode #678

Previously Stealth Mode module provided only the option to completely block third-party cookies. Now you will not only have an ability to differ first- and third-party cookies, but also the ability to set the exact time which cookies will be kept alive for. Important note: you can still block cookies alltogether, just set the keep-alive time to '0'.

[Added] Added an option to block "Browser location API" #139

[Added] Added an option to block "Browser notifications API" #1121

Normally browsers may detect your location and use this information to prioritize specific search results or make other various suggestions based on it. With browser location API blocked this will be impossible.

Blocking browser notifications API feature works somewhat similar, but rather prevents browser from showing things like news or social media frames that pop-up in the corner of your browser.

Userscripts

[Improved] Content injection algorithm #1099

We completely redesigned content injection algorithm. First and foremost, this should solve issues with scripts that start when the page opens, resolve some of the known conflicts (AdsBypasser, YouTube+), and also optimize usage of scripts and ad blocker styles. Overall, a technical, but very important change.

[Added] Userscripts handling #1172

We adopted a new way of handling user.js (userscript) files. Now AdGuard will automatically detect when user.js file was processed. If it is a valid userscript, AdGuard will open a dialog window, offering user to install it. Of course, this setting will be optional and possible to turn off through settings.

UI

[Added] Hebrew localization, Dutch localization #1076, #1063

We continue to make AdGuard more easily accessible for users all over the world. This time we add two more new localizations and fix some mistakes in already existing ones.

Networking

[Improved] Network SDK was updated #1179

In reality, this implies many various fixes that concern our network drivers. It would be hard to list them all here, and most of them are rather technical anyway. For example, the WFP driver - Windows Defender compatibility issue was addressed.

Ad Blocking

[Added] Support for extended selectors #1225

This is a technical term, but what hides behind it? With extended selectors support, we can much more easily create some rules that were very, very hard to create earlier. Notably, this concerns rules required to block such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.

[Added] Extended CSS support

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. Currently we support following pseudo-classes: -ext-has (:has), -ext-contains (:contains), [-ext-matches-css (:matches-css).

Other

Dozens of minor fixes and improvements.

A hotfix after last weeks release. Previously there turned out to be several problems, including router page loading problem and other. These bugs are fixed with this version.

[Fixed] Indefinite loading of router page #1042

[Fixed] Rare problem when AdGuard crashes after clicking on tray menu icon #1045

[Fixed] AdGuard will not crash any more if you switch tabs while have active search on 'Settings' screen #1043

[Fixed] AdGuard now detects HTML correctly for all websites if there is an xml declaration at the document start #1011

Good news, everyone! We haven't seen any new bugs since the latest beta version, and it means nothing else but the new stable release is arriving. During the last couple of months that had passed since the 6.0 release we were able to track quite a lot of bugs and defects, which were crucial to fix. So we concentrated on them for a while. Finally, everything seems to be fixed and we are ready to turn on the autoupdate for all our users who still use Adgguard 5.10. We were looking forward to this moment! Even if you were already using AdGuard 6 and you are not as excited by these news, you should be. This release means we can finally put all our efforts into implementing cool new features you might have or have not seen in our roadmap. In case you missed last beta releases and respective release notes, you can catch up and read about all the fixes and additions below. Most important of them, as usual, are described in detail.

UI changes

[Changed] AdGuard uses native-style tray menu now #1006

[Changed] AdGuard window is now opened with a single click on tray menu #1030

[Fixed] 'About' window content is not flickering anymore #954

[Fixed] Empty strings are now removed when importing user filter #973

[Fixed] Error previously encountered while installing a userstyle #934

[Improved] Proxy name validator now recognizes domain names and not only IP addresses #931

Ad Blocker

[Improved] Added $stealth modifier that disables Stealth Mode for the specified website #339 As we already mentioned in our blog, separate whitelist for Stealth Mode is on our roadmap. It is a much needed feature for anyone who actively uses Stealth Mode. We are not quite there yet, but we made a big step in the right direction by implementing $stealth modifier. It works similar to all other modifiers, just add it to any exception rule and it will disable Stealth Mode for that website specifically, even if the module itself is enabled. For example: @@||example.org^$stealth You can find more information about rules formatting on our website: adguard.com/filterrules.html

[Changed] Facebook windows app added to default filtered apps list #974

[Changed] $replace rules should now have higher priority than other basic rules #1023

[Fixed] AdGuard does not try to filter data: URLs any more #1007

[Fixed] $domain modifier now does work for blocking WebSocket connections #998

[Fixed] AdGuard now doesn't ignore tag href attribute while constructing absolute URL #978

[Fixed] Error previously encountered while parsing a style tag with embedded svg #977

[Fixed] Language-specific filters are now detected properly from users keyboard layouts #401

[Improved] AdGuard now can process websites names in punycode when adding them to HTTPS exclusions #962

Languages and Translations

[Added] Support for complex language codes #808 We have completely reworked applications localization system. This allowed us to significantly increase number of languages we can potentially support (this mostly concerns various dialects, alternative alphabets etc.).

[Added] Croatian language

Networking

[Improved] HTML content detection #855 Content type detection was significantly improved. This effectively means that AdGuard will not interfere with those types of traffic which do not require filtering, decreasing the number of potential conflicts.

[Fixed] Web interface of TP-Link router is broken #844 Some of our users encountered problems with accessing TP-Link routers' interface with enabled AdGuard. Upon investigating this issue we discovered a serious issue with WFP driver which resulted in problems with displaying some websites. As a result, we have improved communication with some specific web-servers.

[Added] Support for HTTP method REPORT #1020

[Fixed] AdGuard can now detect HTML if there is an xml declaration at the document start #1011

[Fixed] ESET compatibility issue when Chrome browser would randomly hang #899

[Fixed] Data is now read to end after blocking a POST request #916

[Fixed] Issue with unexpected connection reset with TDI driver #1025

Install/Update

[Fixed] Blank dialog while updating from 5.10 to 6.0 #924

[Fixed] CMD window is no more shown on AdGuard update #935

[Fixed] An issue when update errors were shown as valid updates in tray notification #993

[Fixed] AdGuard now detects Chrome in 'Filtered apps' on Windows 10 insider build #972

Minor

#914, #927, #948, #946, #945, #944, #1014, #1029

[Fixed] Issues in Windows 10 Insider Preview build caused by SHA-1 certificate used for network drivers.

Let us elaborate a little on this one, since this change stands out as the most important one in this update. Recently we have noticed, with the help of our beta testers, that SHA-1 certificate previously used to sign our network drivers, was in a process of being deprecated. Effectively this means that users of Windows 10 Insider Preview were not able to enable AdGuard protection. We have signed our network drivers with new certificates, and now all users will be able to run AdGuard without any problems.

UI Changes

[Fixed] 'Upgrade license' notification is no more shown for licenses activated with beta key

[Fixed] Bug when some apps wouldn't show among 'filtered apps' until they are started

[Fixed] WFP driver is now uninstalled correctly on Win 10 x64

Languages and translations

[Fixed] "User filter" is not translated to Polish

[Improved] Tools for problem monitoring during installation process https://github.com/AdGuardTeam/AdGuardForWindows/issues/832

It is finally time to release AdGuard 6! We have put a lot of time and effort into its development, and you will see this reflected in the release notes. A lot was added, even more was improved compared to AdGuard 5. New version became much more intuitive in use, functional and diverse.

AdGuard user interface was completely redesigned. It will now have modern tile design. Compared to AdGuard 5, it is much better structurized and more visually attractive.

AdGuard was translated into many new languages. That includes UI, AdGuard Assistant and filter descriptions etc.

Window positions are now memorized and restored after program restart.

Tray menu is reworked, improved accessibility of different options through tray.

New versions interface is much more friendly to people with visual impairment. For example, now Windows screen reader sees almost all the elements of the program – tips, tuning, and more.

UI performance and boot speed were significantly optimized, memory consumption was greatly reduced. You can find respective graphs in blog (see the link below).

Now with the first launch of AdGuard a tutorial will be shown, familiarizing user with AdGuard and quickly introducing its capabilities.

Updating to new version from AdGuard 5 is now possible and will not lose any settings.

New possibility to change update channel to 'Beta' and receive all beta updates, including Assistant and other extensions. Useful for those, who wants to always be the first to know about all the new features.

A new module was added - Stealth Mode. Back in previous versions we only had a filter against spyware, counters and trackers to protect your online privacy. Stealth Mode serves to protect your online privacy in various ways, including blocking of third-party cookies, hiding IP address and many, many more.

Improved support for filtered apps. AdGuard now automatically finds software installed on your computer and offers to filter its traffic, this includes modern UI applications. Of course, you still can add any browser (or any app) manually. The mechanism for adding new applications to AdGuard itself is completely redesigned too, and now it is easy for any user to cope with it.

Filter editor and Filtering log were drastically changed. You will find both fresh design and improved functionality. In the Filter editor, you can see the rules created by the AdGuard Assistant, that is, all the rules that you added manually. Filtering Log displays all the requests sent.

You can now use new search feature to search the whole program for any keyword by entering it in the text field in the top right corner. We believe this is one of the most useful innovations. Now you do not have to go through the entire section of the program in search for the information you need.

Now it is possible to subscribe to any filter by URL or by choosing path to a local file, and AdGuard will automatically watch for changes.

Extensions were allocated to a separate module which can be enabled/disabled as a whole.

Userscripts security was significantly improved.

Plentiful additions and improvements to filtering process were made, notably introducing support for new rules modifiers and improving filtering speed.

Many more improvements, all of which are impossible to include in these release notes.

Short list of important changes: greatly reduced memory usage, we introduced convenient addition of new ad filters, integration with WoT is now a separate extension, added support for new browsers, fixed conflicts with popular programs and defects in the processing of requests and more.

Memory usage reduction

We have significantly optimized memory usage in 5.10. Now, even if you use an old computer or a weak netbook, AdGuard will work silently in a background without slowing down your device. We compared memory footprint with the one of the preceding version. And we must say 5.10 showed a result several times lower.

More ad filters

In addition, AdGuard has became an even more comprehensive program. Now users can install any ad filters. What does it mean? In addition to the filters that are already installed in AdGuard by default, you can add third-party ones, such as a list of filters that allow AdGuard to block ads in different segments of the Internet - websites in different languages, in particular. All of this can be done directly in the program, simply by selecting a filter you want and clicking on the "Add selected" button.

Displaying the possible danger

Integration with Web of Trust is now brought out in the separate extension, which can be disabled. Also a warning when visiting a suspicious website has changed. With the help of WoT, our AdGuard is able to notify you instantly about the reputation of websites and show the reasons for which the site is considered to be suspicious. "Categories of suspicion" can be, in particular: scam, potentially illegal, misleading claims or unethical, poor customer experience, privacy risks and others.

Other changes in version 5.10:

Added support for CSS injection rules. It gives us more flexible options for high-quality elements blocking.

Ability to edit the source code of userscripts. Now you can customize any script you like, you can find more about what it is and how to install it here.

Updates are checked only for the enabled userscripts.Thus we update only those scripts that you actually use. Why spend the extra traffic?

Extensions that do not use external resources are returned to the "default." Now you have the opportunity to reset the extensions and return websites to their original state.

Added a configuration of exceptions for secure (HTTPS) sites filtering. Adding https websites to exceptions in order for AdGuard to not filter it, used to be impossible.

Increased time of filter updates up to 12 hours. Yeah, longer but of better quality.

Speeded up the work of extensions (including Youtube Center). Userscripts do not slow down websites now.

Fixed in new version:

Fixed conflicts with Visual Studio, Tor Browser, Keepass.

Fixed slow loading of large js files.

Assistant no longer interferes in work of RequireJs websites.

Updated network drivers, fixed some small remarks.

Minor changes to the texts in the user interface.

Version 5.9 brings a large number of changes to AdGuard.

New features

AdGuard Extensions

In version 5.9, there is an opportunity to install extensions (userscripts). They are designed to extend the functionality of websites. How exactly will the functionality be extended depends on the particular userscript. This can be a pop-up blocking, blocking of flash requests, possibility to download music and video from social networks and much more.

You can learn more from this post in our blog.

Improved video ads blocking

In this version, AdGuard learned to recognize most of the video ads on its own without relying on filter databases.

Parental Control

During the existence of the program, we have received many requests from our users about implementing the "Parental Control" in it. Many parents found AdGuard helpful, because when using it the child didn’t see inappropriate advertising.

Finally, in the version 5.9 we are ready to introduce “Parental Control” - a separate module of the program.
You can learn more from this article.
