Hello!

We are on the verge of the year 2018, and what is a better time to release a new AdGuard for Mac version? :)

As you will see with this update, a lot of major changes here relate to UI convenience and better user experience — in particular, filter subscription by URL deserves a separate mention. Ad blocking quality has been increased too, several bugs have been eliminated.

Ad blocking

[Added] Filter subscription by URL #1

It’s become much more convenient now to add new filter subscriptions since you have a choice between uploading a local file or entering a URL.

[Improved] Close active connections when network filtering starts #263

Translating to a more common language, this means that no connections will slip by AdGuard’s protection when you turn it on. A real life example: many Safari users used to have problems with unblocked ads on YouTube. This change fixes it.

[Added] $~websocket modifier support #245
[Added] "Brave" browser to the filtered apps list #246
[Added] Mozilla Developer Edition to the filtered apps list #241
[Fixed] Can't log in to icloud.com #242
[Fixed] AdGuard blocks notifications on Yandex mail in a browser tab #256
[Fixed] "Reinstall certificate" does not work in FF #257
[Fixed] Some websites open slowly with AdGuard #247
[Fixed] Some websites are not accessible with the HTTPS filtering enabled #249

UI

[Added] "undo/redo" buttons to the user filter editor #227

Self-explanatory. Working with filter editor has become so more convenient — trust us, we do it a lot, and we can tell the difference!

[Improved] Filter editor now indicates that the filter contains disabled rules #258

Another quality of life improvement. You won’t now find yourself in situations when something is not working because you’ve disabled a couple of rules, but can’t remember in what filter.

[Added] Inform the user about closed connection to a website with EV certificate #228
[Fixed] Applied settings are not displayed correctly when the language filters are activated automatically #233
[Fixed] No first run wizard when installing on High Sierra #244
[Fixed] Title of the window appears on wizard style windows on MacOS 10.13 #255

Other

[Fixed] "Shadowsocks-R" and AdGuard compatibility problem #240
[Improved] "ExtendedCss" module has been upgraded to v1.0.9 #262
[Fixed] Localization issues #261
