It's time to introduce the latest AdGuard Browser Extension v4.4.1 beta! While you might not spot any visible changes, rest assured, we've been working hard behind the scenes. This update focuses on enhancing how rules and filters are managed, all thanks to the integration of AGTree to the TSUrlFilter library.
AGTree is a powerful tool that streamlines how ad-blocking filter lists are handled. It's now part of the TSUrlFilter library, which we've integrated into various products, including browser extensions. By implementing AGTree across different platforms, we're aiming for a more unified approach, which allows us to use a single library for tasks such as conversion, parsing, and validation of blocking rules. The result? Improved content blocking, faster filtering engine startup, and simplified rule analysis and conversion.
And how does this benefit you directly? Transitioning to AGTree enhances your security by minimizing the risk of filter errors. This means a more precise ad and tracker blocking experience as you browse. Additionally, along with the AGTree transition, this release includes significant updates to scriptlets, which ultimately boost the overall extension performance.
