AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension v3.0.2-beta

3.0.2 Beta

on GitHub

Please welcome the biggest update of the AdGuard extension — version 3.0.2. We seriously redesigned most of the UI for better user experience and comprehensiveness. On top of that, the extension got a significant addition to its privacy-protecting arsenal.

[Improved] Renewed design

Fresh icon and menu designs that make interface more natural and user-friendly, with a big "On/Off" switch. Brand-new “Statistics” tab creates charts based on your blocked ads statistics, with the ability to show different types of data: total, filter-specific etc.

What's more, user filter editor has undergone a few changes too. Luminous element highlighting and auto-save function as well as unified filtering rules' text field should make editing more convinient.

[Improved] Get rid of the tabs in the filters settings #1068

Now, each filter category (group of filters with similar purpose e.g. Ad blocking, Social Widgets etc.) has an icon and is easier to access. In addition, it can be turned on/off at once, thus making filter management smoother.

[Added] Merge StealthMode Extension code #283

We took online privacy protection in our extension to the next level by adding the Privacy module, which until this day existed only in the standalone AdGuard for Windows app. Although it doesn’t have the full capabilities of its desktop parent yet, it still makes the extension all the more effective for protecting privacy against trackers and analytical systems.

[Added] "Filters update period" setting #596

Before, filters were automatically updated every 48 hours (default period), now you can adjust the frequency of automatic updates (by choosing from options: every 1/6/12/24/48 hours) or disable them completely, in case you prefer to update them manually.

[Added] An option to disable integration mode while keeping the extension up #1012

If you already have the AdGuard app, our browser extension may become a very useful additional tool, which can completely replace the browser-based “AdGuard Assistant” module (learn more). It’s called Integration mode and now you can turn it on or off in the “Other settings” tab.
