AdguardTeam/AdguardForMac v2.18.0

2.18

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.

Great news! Version 2.18 brings a noticeable step forward in performance, stability, and compatibility. One of the main highlights is support for three new AI-powered browsers: ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet, and Dia. Now you can enjoy clean, ad-free browsing there as well.

We’ve also updated the system requirements: AdGuard for Mac now supports macOS 12 and later.

Alongside that, we refreshed the Filter List Manager, polished many internal processes, and fixed a number of issues to make everyday app use smoother and more reliable.
