Disclaimer AdGuard for Windows is not an open source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.
This beta version is a powerhouse in terms of additions and changes. The addition of TLS 1.3 support is the headliner, read below what’s so cool and important about it. Good news for those users who resort to screen readers — AdGuard has become more friendly towards them. Filter updates will now take much less time.
[Added] TLS1.3 Support (draft 28) #2155
TLS 1.3 is a new version of the cryptographic protocol used to encrypt messages sent via HTTP. It is faster, more secure and overall better than its predecessors. It has not been accepted by IETF as a standard yet, but it is only a matter of time. The process has already started, and we want to be at the forefront, and thus we have already added the TLS 1.3 (draft 28) support.
[Improved] Filters update procedure's performance #2211
If you had the misfortune of a habit to update your filters often, you certainly noticed that it took quite a lot of time, as well as installing new filters. We addressed this problem, the situation should change drastically for the better now.
[Improved] Better support for visually impaired users #2068
AdGuard tries to provide the best online experience for all users alike, and visually impaired users are no exception. Starting with this beta, AdGuard menus are much better suited to be read by NVDA Screen Reader and other screen reading programs.
