Disclaimer Adguard for Mac is not an open source project. We use github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
Greetings! It is time to release new beta version of Adguard for Mac. There is quite a bit of various fixes and changes here, as you can see in the changelog below, but the most important, or rather the most impactful ones, are those that affect performance. Specifically, we mean #88 and #91. Optimizing basic filtering rules (#91) processing is very important since basic rules are the most resourse-consuming among all. #88 also deserves attention. Now we lower resourse consumption significantly during the 'idle time'. Overall, Adguard will become faster now, but not only that. Thanks to the better performance, Adguard will now consume significantly less battery resourse.
