AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows v7.19.0

7.19

on GitHub

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.

Rolling in like that quirky relative who always brings the best presents, here’s version v7.19 for you! With it, you can share your settings via link, enjoy fancy userstyles, log in in a new way, and say goodbye to nasty bugs.

Before you dive in, we have some important news: this is the last release to support Windows 7. Why?
We use several libraries for our work, the latest versions of which no longer support Windows 7. And the latest versions are necessary — both for user safety and for the overall functionality of the app.
If upgrading to a newer version of Windows isn’t possible, please stick with version 7.19.

Now, onto the features.

Sharing settings

We believe that sharing is caring, so we’ve introduced a new feature that lets you share your settings via a link. If you’ve got everything set up perfectly in your desktop app, just scan the QR code to transfer those settings to your mobile app. Or share the link with friends — spread the lovesettings!

Adding style to your browsing

Want a dark theme on a website that doesn’t have one? With userstyles, it’s possible!

Userstyles are custom themes that allow you to change how web pages look in your browser without modifying their content. They work by adding CSS styles to the website’s existing styles.

To add a userstyle, go to Settings → Extensions → Add → Import from file or URL. Feeling creative? Click Add → Create userstyle. You can find ready-made userstyles online. Once you install one, just open your browser, and voilà — it’s all styled up.

Logging in a new way

Now, when you select Log in with email, you’ll be taken to a browser to sign in to the app and your AdGuard account. Not so convenient at first, but you can put a password manager to use — enable autocomplete in your browser and you won’t have to enter your login info every time. Plus, it makes it easier for us to maintain the service, which means we’ll be able to respond more quickly if something goes wrong.

You can also opt for one-time codes. We’ll send you a code to your email, and you’ll never have to worry about remembering your password again.

Last but not least

You know that list of settings on the left side of the app? Well, we’re updating their names to make it clearer what they actually do. So Stealth Mode becomes Tracking protection. Makes sense, since it doesn’t make you literally invisible, but it does protect you from being tracked.

Every new version comes with bug fixes, some bigger than others. Like the BSoD issue, which is quite annoying. We did our best to fix it, and with updated WFP and TDI network drivers, everything works as it should.

We also updated the Scriptlets, the DnsLibs, so you can count on quality filtering and clean, safe browsing.
