Product name
Adguard For Mac Beta 1.0.56
Pros
  • - Powerful Protection Against ADS, Banners, Video ads, etc.
    - Comprehensive Tracking Protection against many tracking code
CONS
- Sluggish Performance when testing, pages don't load properly often
- Missing Parental Control feature, and Browsing Security doesn't measure up to Windows's standards
BOTTOM LINE
AdGuard for Mac BETA works quite well in it's main features, but it still needs some polishing up. It has a lot of potential and may end up as powerful as the Windows version when the official version is announced.

I know many of you don't have a Mac, but I was very curious how the Mac version worked! The new beta out last month works quite well for a BETA version, and provides a neat, clean interface. Here is the beta interface on my MacBook:

As you see, I've been evaluating the BETA since the earliest closed version on December 29th, and @avatar was kind enough to give me a beta code so I can test this version. The beta has come a long way since then, and has streamlined very much. Here is the screenshot of the mac version of the new Adguard Assistant:

Compared to the windows version of the old-fashioned a.

Do you really need parental control in AG for Mac? We are not yet sure about it.

Also next beta should be faster than the current stable, we have done lots of optimizations.
Will be available in a week or so.

Thank You! No, I wasn't talking about Parental Control, about more extensions from scripts, but Parental Control would be nice too.

Glad to hear that the speed is getting faster. I tried to send the logs to you, but when it's in Debug mode it loads much faster!

That is weird:) Let's wait for the next beta, it must be better.

Ah, now I see, thank you! We plan to add it in the next major update after release.
