7.15

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.

“To infinity and beyond” could be the motto of our hard-working AdGuard team. This time, we are pleased to introduce the fresh new version of AdGuard for Windows.

New HTTP/3 filtering

One of the major updates in this version is the support for HTTP/3 filtering, powered by our CoreLibs v1.12. HTTP/3 (HTTP-over-QUIC) is the latest version of the HTTP protocol that uses QUIC instead of TCP. The QUIC network protocol offers many advantages over the TCP transport layer protocol, such as improved privacy and security, faster internet connection, and the ability to handle data packets in any order. Enabling HTTP/3 filtering also means more efficient ad blocking. You’re welcome!

Currently, HTTP/3 filtering only works in the Firefox browser. This is because Chrome has different logic for verifying QUIC and TCP certificates, which does not accept AdGuard certificates. However, this feature is available in Advanced settings for testing and debugging purposes to ensure seamless operation.

Annoying bugs belong in the past

We’ve addressed a minor problem in context menus — the dark theme now appears flawless. Additionally, upon installation, you will now have five recommended ad-blocking filters readily accessible instead of just one. This upgrade will make life easier and protect you from annoying ads.

Along with other fixes, we have made several improvements to boost the overall performance of AdGuard for Windows. Previously, the application would sometimes crash due to high memory usage. However, we have addressed this issue. Also, when the internet connection was unstable or very slow, the application could behave unpredictably or even crash. Now, everything works more smoothly.

To top it all off, we have updated the WFP and TDI drivers, and as per our tradition, we have also updated CoreLibs, DnsLibs, and scriptlets to ensure even more stable operation.

7.15 beta

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.

After putting in a lot of effort, we are thrilled to introduce the first beta version of AdGuard for Windows. Our latest CoreLibs v1.12 now supports HTTP/3 filtering, which is more efficient than before as we use the QUIC protocol instead of TCP. Currently, HTTP/3 filtering only works in Edge and Firefox browsers, as Chrome has different logic for verifying QUIC and TCP certificates and the browser doesn’t accept AdGuard certificates.However, this feature is only available in Advanced settings for testing and debugging purposes to ensure everything runs smoothly.

But that's not all we’ve got! We’ve taken your feedback into account, and now upon installation, five recommended ad-blocker filters will be at your service immediately, instead of just one. This upgrade will make life easier and protect you from annoying ads.

We have also updated WFP and TDI drivers and implemented various solutions to avoid memory shortage issues and eliminate crashes. In addition, DnsLibs and scriptlets have been updated, so the app will perform even more stably and efficiently.
