AdGuard Blog: Reflecting on 2024: Progress, growth, and ambition

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Yes, it’s that time of the year again — time to reflect on everything we’ve accomplished and why we do it in the first place. AdGuard exists because of you, our users. Our mission has always been to make your online life safer, simpler, and ad-free.

This year, we continued to protect you from intrusive ads, relentless trackers, phishing threats, and greedy corporations. While we may not have checked off every single item on our to-do list, we made significant strides in delivering products, features, and updates.

In this post, we’ll highlight our achievements, big and small, in 2024.

Looking ahead to 2025

As we look at our plans from last year, we can proudly say that we have accomplished most of them. So here is our plan for 2025:

• AdGuard v8.0 for Windows: A long-awaited major release packed with surprises.
• AdGuard for Linux: Expanding our ad-blocking solutions to new platforms.
• Сompletely reworked products: AdGuard Content Blocker and AdGuard for Safari have been quietly working behind the scenes this year, but that’s about to change! Expect some groundbreaking updates.
• Open-sourcing our VPN protocol: It’s taking us a while, but we want to do it right. Our goal is to make the VPN client and server code available so you can create your own fully-featured VPN service on any platform.

To reveal all our plans would be bad luck, so we’ll leave you with a teaser: brand new and quite surprising products are currently in the works, but tss... You didn’t hear it from us!

Thank you for being with us this year. Here’s to another year of making the Internet a better place!

Stay safe, and see you in 2025
