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.
It was a long while since the last Adguard for Mac update. We hope it was worth waiting, because new beta adds the support for Extended CSS - read below why it is so important. Besides that, an awful lot of other fixes and changes that will reflect positively on the performance.
Ad blocking
[Added] Extended CSS support #109, #120
This is a very important addition in terms of future (and present) possibilities that it opens for ad blocking. Extended CSS is a module for applying CSS styles with extended selection properties. Basically, it means that we will be able to select and, therefore, block some elements that we would not be able to block otherwise. Notably, this concerns such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.
[Added] $important modifier #132
This new addition is an significant one, but mostly relevant for creators of custom filter rules. With it's help you can give certain rules higher priority.
[Added] $websocket modifier #131
[Fixed] $empty modifier behaviour #108, #143
[Fixed] Latin extended symbol in a filter rule interferes with filtering #134
[Fixed] $replace rule can't be applied along with the other rules #133
Networking
[Fixed] Kernel panic issue #106
[Fixed] Adguard blocks the page from loading if /etc/hosts has incorrect records #111
[Fixed] Inability to apply inline style #142

[Added] Hotkeys for filters management #9, #128
