AdGuard Browser Extension 4.4.48 (MV2)
For those who have noticed memory leaks, this release will help. But even if you haven’t spotted any problems, it's still worth it to update — new versions always bring better filtering quality.

AdGuard Browser Extension 5.0.178 (MV3)
Small but important hotfix.

Changelog​


Changed​

  • Remade JS rules injections in MV3:
    • use chrome.scripting API for injecting functions for script rules from the pre-built filters.
    • use script tag injection only for script rules manually added by users — rules from User rules and Custom filters.

TSWebExtension (Library wrapper for Browser API and TSUrlFilter)​


Removed​

  • Ability to execute new AG_ script rules from User rules and Custom filters in MV3.

How to install MV3 stable:​

AdGuard Browser Extension 5.0.183 (MV3) released for Chrome...

The bad news is that we had to remove the Quick Fixes filter due to the problems with passing the store review — MV3 restrictions in action. The good news is that we updated other filters — which means that ads will be blocked better.

No Quick Fixes at the moment = no dynamic filter update. It's unclear how long it will take them to sort it out with the chrome store. From their commits I see that no rules have been added to the quick fix since the release of the latest version.
