8.0 beta 7

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.

Lucky number seven! This seventh beta version of AdGuard for Windows v8.0 is all about bug squashing. Here are just some of the long-awaited fixes we’ve packed into this beta:

• DNS filtering: We fixed a bug that allowed certain requests to sneak through blocklists marked as “bypassed”.
• Decreasing statistics: The main counters (Ads and Trackers) now won’t drop after an update.
• App crashes: Fixed an annoying bug that caused the app to close unexpectedly while browsing settings.
• Unwanted filter updates: The Tracking protection filter now strictly respects user preferences and won’t update when automatic updates are turned off.

You can find all the other fixes and improvements in the extensive changelog below.
