AdguardTeam/AdguardForMac v2.17.0-beta-1

2.17 beta

on GitHub

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.

In this release, we’ve made AdGuard more helpful when you need clarity, and stronger when you need security. Interactive blocking pages and post-quantum encryption — it’s a win-win.

Blocking pages: now interactive

Chances are, you’ve seen one of our blocking screens before — whether due to a phishing threat or a filtering rule. Previously, these pages were more like roadblocks. Now they’re more like intersections where you have options.

For example, if AdGuard blocks a website due to phishing suspicion, but you’re sure it’s safe, you can let us know directly from the blocked page. You can also access our security check tool to get more details about the website.

A website blocked by a filtering rule? Just click “Add this website to the allowlist” and an unblocking rule will be generated automatically and added to User rules.

Post-quantum cryptography

When it comes to HTTPS filtering, it’s crucial that AdGuard encrypts your traffic just as securely as the app it’s filtering. That’s why we always stay up to date and keep pace with modern apps and browsers.

This time, we’ve added support for post-quantum cryptography. If the filtered app or browser uses the latest encryption methods, AdGuard will do the same, ensuring that even a quantum computer won’t be able to decrypt your traffic.
