Adguard Release Notes

October 24, 2024

Rolling in like that quirky relative who always brings the best presents, here’s version v7.19 for you! With it, you can share your settings via link, enjoy fancy userstyles, log in in a new way, and say goodbye to nasty bugs.

Before you dive in, we have some important news: this is the last release to support Windows 7. Why? We use several libraries for our work, the latest versions of which no longer support Windows 7. And the latest versions are necessary — both for user safety and for the overall functionality of the app. If upgrading to a newer version of Windows isn’t possible, please stick with version 7.19.

Now, onto the features.

This update brings a bit of style: iOS 18 introduced customizable app icons, so now they’re available for the AdGuard app as well. To stay completely true to the branding, we added our own versions for Light, Dark and Tinted icons instead of just relying on iOS-generated ones.

October 14–18 – what a week in history! In 1929, Walt Disney decided to bring a little magic into the world by founding his studio. Meanwhile, in 1793, Marie Antoinette learned the hard way that “Let them eat cake” doesn’t work out so well at a guillotine party. Also this week, a few bugs have been fixed in your browser extension. Small fixes, sure, but without them, who knows what kind of digital chaos we’d be facing? History could’ve taken a wild turn…

The extension now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.

Life’s got its fair share of mysteries: Why are we here? No clue. What’s the meaning of existence? Still a puzzle. How many updates will it take to bring the browser extension to perfection? Hard to say exactly, but with this release we’re one step closer to finding out the answer to this one — here’s a few bug fixes for a more solid ad blocking.

October 4, 2024

This time, we’re focusing on design enhancements. We’ve improved the styles for the extension popup, notifications, and the User rules section. Plus, we’ve sprinkled in some UI magic by refining a few settings descriptions and adding a warning about unsaved changes in the Allowlist and User rules editors.

Oh, and the “Polish GDPR-Cookies Filters” filter, available in the MV2 extension, is now also available in the MV3 extension.

October 2, 2024

Fixed a nasty bug: filtering on some websites didn’t work due to the Hide your search queries feature. Now it works.

October 2, 2024

Not so long ago, we successfully migrated our extension to Chrome’s new API, and now, when you download AdGuard Browser Extension from the web store, you’ll automatically get the new MV3 version. But what if you want to stick with the MV2 extension? No worries, we’ve got you covered, at least for now – it will keep working as long as Google continues to support the old API. As for where to find it: we’ve moved the MV2 extension to the spot where the beta used to be available.

September 27, 2024

It hasn't been long since the migration of our browser extension to MV3 was completed, but we're already back with a small beta that brings some design improvements. It's really just a special touch: fixes in the UI for a better user experience.

September 23, 2024

After the update, some users experienced incorrect operation of the extension — ads were not blocked at all. This could have happened due to rule conversion errors, but thanks to this hotfix, everything is back to normal. Now you can customize ad blocking to your liking and see no ads.

September 19, 2024

The time has come for a big move: the release is out and our trusty ad-blocking extension is now fully compatible with MV3. Let’s take a look at what’s changed.

If you’re already using our extension for Chrome, your existing extension will be replaced with the MV3 one. New users can install it from the Chrome Web Store

Here’s an additional technical update following the previous one. In it, we’ve fixed bugs and kept working on the app stability.

August 29, 2024

If your extension has been updated to v4.4, you may have noticed some websites haven’t been working properly lately. That’s on us: the $redirect modifier wasn’t handling ads correctly, causing occasional lags and forcing some users to refresh the page they were visiting to get things working again. This hotfix solves that problem and brings other improvements.

August 21, 2024

Have you ever noticed how the app crashes even when you have a freshly updated version? Well, notice no more! This hotfix solves that problem. From now on, just pure ad blocking all the way.

July 26, 2024

Filtering engines have been hit by enemy bugs, but AdGuard is stronger than that. With this hotfix, updated libraries bring you a cleaner and safer web.

July 19, 2024

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