May the force of the extension be with you! Our Jedi developers have been working tirelessly in order to bring peace to the galaxy you an improved version of AdGuard Browser Extension.
What is the core of any ad blocker? The correct answer is “filter lists”. Once AdGuard is
enabled, rules in filter lists are responsible for making web pages look nice and clean. It’s essential to keep the filter lists up-to-date. But every time there is even a small change in a filter list, a problem occurs: the ad blocker needs to re-download the whole list. That sounds pretty inefficient.
In this version we have added differential update capabilities. Now instead of fetching the entire filter list, the extension will only download the changes that were made in a list since the last update. This also helps us to achieve a more efficient and user-friendly experience by reducing bandwidth consumption, minimizing latency, and decreasing server load. To put it simply, now AdGuard can download filter lists updates much more frequently, so you will enjoy the most efficient ad blocking.
We have also fixed the problem that occurred when users tried to access websites with enabled Stealth Mode options in the extension settings. Rules did not work correctly, so some websites wouldn't open. We have fixed this issue, so now the rules will disable Stealth Mode when it’s necessary.
We have also fixed some minor issues as well as improved the performance and stability. We hope you’ll enjoy the new version of AdGuard Browser Extension 4.3.
