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.
