In mid-2021, AdGuard began developing a new ad-blocking extension designed to comply with the constraints of Manifest V3. Despite challenges from the API’s early and unfinished state, we have successfully adapted our Ad Blocker to operate effectively under these new conditions. Check out our blog to learn more about
how this journey began.
Important to know
The beta has replaced the prototype in the
Chrome WebStore and will stay available there.
With the full release, the
MV3 version will become the main one and
replace our old extension. If you want to know when the release is coming, follow us on social media.
After the MV3 release, the old beta extension will be renamed to
AdGuard Ad Blocker MV2. We will continue to support it until Google phases it out, as they said in the
Chrome blog.
The main question: Is MV3 extension as good as MV2?
MV3 extension effectively blocks ads and trackers and seamlessly manages social widgets, banners, and video ads. Most users won’t notice any operational differences.
Now, let’s get to the technical details.
