Adguard is a unique Internet filter that allows you to surf the web just the way you want. Enjoy a wide array of websites without intrusive ads, counters that track your every move, and various threats such as viruses or scams just waiting to prey on you.

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.

Fixed and improved in this version

  • Fixed a problem with high load on the CPU and memory consumption when downloading large files
  • Fixed a problem with the occasional lack of HTTPS-connections filtering in Firefox and Opera

Interesting. I would want to know if it is indeed blocking websites on the basis of Web of Trust. I don't trust Web of Trust. I agree with the Cloudeight newsletter in viewing it as a gossip site.

Been trialing this and very impressed thus far.
Close to pulling the trigger for a couple of licenses

I bought a license for two computers a month ago and am glad I did. The endless license seemed a little pricey but after using it awhile I couldn't be without it. What I really like is never having to update anything and no matter what browser I open it is always there. For some reason I use Internet Explorer a lot more than I used to before I started using Adguard. It seems a lot faster now on our computer. Take Care, Rocky
