AdGuard Browser Extension 5.0.138 beta​

Release 5.0.138 beta · AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension

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 t...

This seems to be out on the stable branch?

The post says it's a beta. And this from the Adguard team:

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.

I concur. It seems like Adguard MV3 is continually buggy. See AdGuard MV3 extension post #197 for just one example of many. There are better options.

Like i mentioned in the wrong thread!

I have an allowlist of domains - When visiting some of the sites in the allow list, protection is disabled (This is correct). Although when I visit some other sites in the allow list it shows that protection is enabled and it’s filtering?

Toggling the disable protection seems to work (Nothing new is added to the allow list), then if I were to close the tab and revisit that same site it has it back as being enabled and filtering again?

I've reported it to them.

In terms of the version. I did a force update of the chrome extensions and it's pulled in that version. I'm definitely not on the BETA Extension

AdGuard Browser Extension 5.0.185 beta​

Small but important hotfix.

---

Changed​

• Scriptlet rules are available only from the pre-built filters now.
  Now, of the script and scriptlet rules that are added to Custom filters, User rules or Quick fixes filter, only those already used in pre-built filters will work. This means that before applying such a rule, the extension engine will compare the rule body with the list of rules that have already been used in filters from all categories of pre-built filters, such as Ad Blocking, Privacy, etc. If there is a match, the engine will apply the rule, and if not, it will discard it. For example, let's imagine that the Base filter contains the rule example.com#%#console.log('test'), then the engine will accept rules like example.org#%#console.log('test') and #%#console.log('test'), but will discard example.com#%#console.log('new test').
• Added AdGuard Quick Fixes filter.

With this release, we're bringing our MV2 and MV3 extensions on the same page. We’re upgrading the MV2 extension to version 5.1, and from this point on, both extensions will be in perfect sync, with their versions updated at the same time.

What’s in it for you? First off, you’ll notice a visual upgrade: the MV2 extension now features the MV3 design. But that’s not all — from now on, bug fixes and features will be implemented more efficiently in both extensions.

We’ve also made some other minor improvements and bug fixes, which you can explore in the full changelog below. One of them deserves to be highlighted: internal optimizations will give the extension the possibility to take part in the Fast Track Review process in the Chrome Web Store. This means that in the future, if our approach works, we will be able to release extension updates with new filters more often, without having to wait for a review according to Chrome Policy. You will get extension updates in your hands – or rather, in your browser – faster than ever!

AdGuard Browser Extension v5.2.25 beta​

AdGuard Browser Extension v5.2 is here with a ton of updates that significantly enhance usability. You’ll find the full changelog below, but here are the standout features we’re most excited about.

Migrating to the User Scripts API​

The User Scripts API is a set of browser-provided functions and capabilities that allow extensions to run custom JavaScript scripts on web pages. These are often used to modify or enhance websites in ways that aren’t originally provided by the website itself.

With the shift to Chrome’s Manifest V3, many older methods of injecting scripts are limited or delayed. However, there is an exception for the User Scripts API, but for injecting code, the user must enable either the developer mode (for Chrome versions prior to 138) or the Allow User Scripts toggle (for Chrome version 138 and more recent ones). By migrating AdGuard Browser Extension to the User Scripts API, we give the extension a more reliable and secure method of injecting scripts into web pages at an optimal time. This maintains compatibility with advanced filtering and customization features and allows us to bring back custom filters and the ability to use JavaScript rules in user rules.

Design improvements​

We’ve redesigned the blocking pages in the MV2 extension and added them to the MV3 one. Now, when a blocking rule with the $document modifier is triggered, you’ll see a clearer, more informative warning page. Also, if you’re about to visit a potentially dangerous website, the MV2 extension now greets you with a redesigned safe browsing warning that is easier to understand and act on.

And finally — good news for everyone! We’ve enhanced accessibility for visually impaired users, making sure AdGuard is inclusive and easy to use for more people.
