Today we are releasing another unscheduled, but priority update for Adguard 5.10. This update contains many useful and important changes and fixes. We recommend that all our Adguard for Windows users upgrade to this version.

Changelog in version 5.10.2004
  • Added Vivaldi browser support
  • Added support of userscripts custom menu items (GM_registerMenuCommand function). Press Shift+Alt+M to bring up list of registered menu items (if any). Examples of userscripts with their custom menu items: Youtube Center, AdsBypasser, Anti-Adblock Killer
  • Added TLS v1.2 support
  • Improved userscripts API
  • Fixed work of several userscripts: AdsBypasser, Mouseover Popup Image Viewer, Context Menu Example (Firefox only), File Hosting Download Manager Disabler
  • Fixed compatibility issue with Home Media Server, Geforce Experience, Asus Control Center
  • Fixed incompatibility with ZenMate
  • Fixed a bug with short-living keep-alive connections in proxy mode
  • Fixed dependence on injections.adguard.com domain availability
  • Fixed Adguard’s network driver vulnerability
Now let us tell you a little about the fixed vulnerability in Adguard driver, as it turned out to be a pretty amusing story. But first we would like to reassure you that there are no examples of this vulnerability and never will be, as this issue is solved now

A few days ago we received a message that ESET marked our driver as “potentially unsafe”. We calmly sent a report on the false-positive, being absolutely confident that it is their mistake. A day later, when the problem was not solved, we contacted ESET and found out the reason. As it turned out, they did find a vulnerability in our driver, which allows third-party software to take control over our driver.

So, we would like to say a big thanks to the ESET Malware Response team for immediate assistance in the detection and correction of this vulnerability.

We always continue to advance our program to make your web surfing experience the best possible. Meanwhile we keep working on Adguard 6 and Mac version.

Important update: Adguard for Windows 5.10.2051

Changelog:

+ Added Microsoft Edge browser support
* Improved userscripts API speed
* Fixed a bug with saving Adguard Assistant settings
* Userscripts API usage is now restricted by @Grant metatag
* Fixed Adguard Assistant work in Opera 12
* Fixed certificate automatic import in Opera 12
* Fixed some issues with CSS/JS injection in the pages with invalid HTML code
* Fixed issues with SSL interceptor (connections reset for servers working with TLS 1.0 only)

Important notice on Logjam. Adguard does not protect you from it, we just ignore such connections. It is browser that decides what to do with it further.

It is finally time to release Adguard 6!

We have put a lot of time and effort into its development, and you will see this reflected in the release notes. A lot was added, even more was improved compared to Adguard 5.

New version became much more intuitive in use, functional and diverse.

  • Adguard user interface was completely redesigned. It will now have modern tile design.
  • Adguard was translated into many new languages. That includes UI, Adguard Assistant and filter descriptions etc.
  • Window positions are now memorized and restored after program restart.
  • Tray menu is reworked, improved accessibility of different options through tray.
  • New versions interface is much more friendly to people with visual impairment.

  • UI performance and boot speed were significantly optimized, memory consumption was greatly reduced.

  • Now with the first launch of Adguard a tutorial will be shown, familiarizing user with Adguard and quickly introducing its capabilities.
  • Updating to new version from Adguard 5 is now possible and will not lose any settings.
  • New possibility to change update channel to 'Beta' and receive all beta updates, including Assistant and other extensions.

  • A new module was added - Stealth Mode. It serves to protect your online privacy in various ways, including blocking of third-party cookies, hiding IP address and many more.

  • Improved support for filtered apps. Adguard now automatically finds software installed on your computer and offers to filter its traffic, this includes modern UI applications.
  • Filter editor and Filtering log were drastically changed. You will find both fresh design and improved functionality.
  • You can now use new search feature to search the whole program for any keyword by entering it in the text field in the top right corner.
  • Now it is possible to subscribe to any filter by URL or by choosing path to a local file, and Adguard will automatically watch for changes.
  • Extensions were allocated to a separate module which can be enabled/disabled as a whole.

  • Userscripts security was significantly improved.

  • Plentiful additions and improvements to filtering process were made, notably introducing support for new rules modifiers and improving filtering speed.

  • Many more improvements, all of which are impossible to include in these release notes.

ADGUARD still doesn't work on my computer. I just get a "adguard for windows has stopped working" and then it closes.

NOTE: Problem has been solved. It wasn't ADGUARD faults.
