De Kronieken van AdGuard

AdGuard Browser Extension

2013

We begrepen dat we, om te concurreren met andere adblockers, ook in hun vakgebied aanwezig moeten zijn, dus hebben we gratis adb. Browserextensies voor Chrome en Opera ontwikkeld

Google heeft ons uit hun Play Store gezet

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.

AdGuard voor Mac OS

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 op 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.

AdGuard Website

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

We verbeteren en ontwikkelen onze applicaties, terwijl we ernaar streven ze mooier en gebruiksvriendelijker te maken.
