AdGuard for Windows 7.19 beta 2​

We have good news and good news — in this beta we have fixed an extremely annoying bug and added some style to make your browsing experience smoother.

Blue screen no more​

Enough users have encountered BSOD for it to be a coincidence. We spent an unhealthy amount of time under the hood and almost broke our brains, but here comes the solution. We updated our network drivers WFP and TDI, and we encourage you to update to this version if you have experienced this problem.

Ad blocker with style​

With the version of CoreLibs comes a handy feature — support for userstyles. What’s the deal here?

Userstyles are like userscripts that allow you to change how web pages look in your browser without modifying their content. They work by adding CSS styles to the website’s existing styles. For example, if you want a dark theme on a website that doesn’t offer one, you can use a userstyle to do it.

To add a userstyle, go to Settings → Extensions → Add → Import from file or URL. Or you can create your own: click Add → Create userstyle. You can find ready userstyles online. After installing a userstyle, open your browser and there it is, all styled up.

That's what you get for using Norton. It's crap and you should, as Monty Python says, run away.

AdGuard for Windows 7.19 RC​

Release date: October 10, 2024

In this release candidate, we have fixed some bugs and updated the CoreLibs. Oh, and we’ve also added a new login option. What’s that about?

Well, we took our cue from The Matrix. Remember the scene where Neo plugs into a training program and after a few keystrokes he’s taken into a virtual reality where he becomes super cool?

With our new option, when you select Log in with email, you’ll be taken to a browser to sign in. This can save you a few keystrokes in the future, since you won’t have to enter your login information into the app and worry about remembering your password. Plus, every AdGuard user is already super cool, so there’s that.

Changelog​

• Main window always opens at system start-up #5227
• Filtering log shows $permission rule instead of an appropriate filter name when blocking an HTML element #5231

AdGuard for Windows 7.20 beta 1​

This beta version comes with a feature that has already been introduced in other products and has now made its way into AdGuard for Windows.

Differential filter updates​

Previously, whenever there was a minor change to a filter list, the entire list had to be downloaded again. This approach was inefficient and resulted in excessive bandwidth usage, increased latency, and unnecessary server load.

Now we apply differential updates. Instead of downloading the entire filter list each time, AdGuard only downloads the changes made to the lists — automatically every hour. More filter updates = more effective ad blocking.

As we would do with any new release, we have equipped this beta with updated WFP and TDI drivers and updated filtering engines — CoreLibs and DnsLibs. What else is there to ask? If there is — your input is welcome in our repository
