New Update AdGuard for Windows - Beta Updates Thread

[monkeylove]

The desktop version slows down browsing (Firefox with Avast free on Win 10), and I can't fix it even though I disabled browsing security and the WFP network driver. Things speeded up when I unchecked the browser in the list of filtered applications and used the extension instead. I still need the desktop version, though, for apps that have no adblockers, like Ferdium.

AdGuard for Windows 7.15 beta

After putting in a lot of effort, we are thrilled to introduce the first beta version of AdGuard for Windows. Our latest CoreLibs v1.12 now supports HTTP/3 filtering, which is more efficient than before as we use the QUIC protocol instead of TCP. Currently, HTTP/3 filtering only works in Edge and Firefox browsers, as Chrome has different logic for verifying QUIC and TCP certificates and the browser doesn’t accept AdGuard certificates.However, this feature is only available in Advanced settings for testing and debugging purposes to ensure everything runs smoothly.

But that's not all we’ve got! We’ve taken your feedback into account, and now upon installation, five recommended ad-blocker filters will be at your service immediately, instead of just one. This upgrade will make life easier and protect you from annoying ads.

We have also updated WFP and TDI drivers and implemented various solutions to avoid memory shortage issues and eliminate crashes. In addition, DnsLibs and scriptlets have been updated, so the app will perform even more stably and efficiently.

AdGuard for Windows 7.16 beta 1​

Release date: December 4, 2023

What number is the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything? Frankly, no clue, but this beta version of AdGuard for Windows is all about 64. We’re excited to announce that our app is now compatible with 64-bit systems.

What does it mean?​

Well, most Windows computers nowadays are 64-bit, they have more resources such as processing power and memory than their 32-bit predecessors. AdGuard has been loyal to the 32-bit version, but progress marches on. It’s time to embrace 64-bit compatibility, which we hope will lead to a more efficient and responsive experience for our users.

But AdGuard still works on 32-bit computers, right?​

The trusty 32-bit machines will not be forgotten. You won’t need to download a separate installer; our system will automatically detect your computer’s bitness, allowing you to install the appropriate version.

Anything new with ad blocking?​

Another big change in this version is that we have improved HTML filtering. We added support for selectors in HTML filtering rules, which helps block ads more effectively.

OK, what else you’ve got?​

Those who use the DNS-over-HTTPS protocol also benefit from the features of the HTTP protocol. For instance, when using DoH, you have an authorization option that standard DNS servers simply do not have. With the new DnsLibs v2.4, AdGuard now offers HTTP authorization when setting up a DNS server. Why is this important? Imagine you have a custom DNS server and you want to restrict access to it. You could restrict access by IP address, but what if you have a mobile device and frequently change networks? This is where HTTP authorization support comes in. Currently, there are not many DNS servers that offer this feature. Even AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS do not have it yet. However, it will be available soon, and you will be the first to know!

Surely that’s it, right?​

As you can see from the changelog, we haven’t been idle since the last release. What has been done:

• Updated our beloved libraries: CoreLibs, DnsLibs, Scriptlets, — you name it — to ensure effective ad blocking and provide an even better user experience
• Didn’t leave behind the WFP and TDI drivers: they’ve also been freshly updated However, thorough testing is crucial, and we’d appreciate it if you’d take a look at this beta version and share your feedback.

AdGuard for Windows 7.16 beta 2

Release date: December 18, 2023

The cold winter weather motivates developers and filter maintainers to work even harder just to stay warm. The chilly temperatures also affect content writers, so let’s quickly talk about the second beta of AdGuard for Windows.

We’ve fixed a bunch of issues, including a major one related to certificate verification. The HTTPS filtering simply did not work on websites because AdGuard did not recognize the certificates of these websites as valid. Thanks to our CoreLibs masters, this problem was solved in the new version of the library.

It would be pointless to update only one library, though. This beta also comes with updated DnsLibs, Scriptlets, and UserscriptsWrapper. If you come across any issues while testing, please let us know on GitHub
