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.
The wait is almost over. After a period of intense testing in our nightly channel, we’re glad to invite you to the next major step: AdGuard for Windows v8.0 beta 1 is now available for everyone to try!
What’s new in v8.0
Instead of packing in a dozen new features, we dedicated ourselves to perfecting the core of AdGuard. The goal was to give the app better speed, stability, and simplicity.
Here’s what you’ll notice from the moment you start using the beta:
- Faster startup: AdGuard now launches almost instantly, so it’s ready to protect you right when you need it.
- More reliable filtering: We’ve improved how AdGuard processes requests to ensure consistent, uninterrupted protection against ads and trackers.
- Quiet performance: AdGuard v8.0 works efficiently in the background, letting you focus on what matters — whether you’re working, gaming, or just browsing.
That’s not all — we’ve made other improvements, including enhancements in the Statistics and App management sections and the UI. If you’re curious about the details, you can read about them in our nightly build article and in the version history.
