Browser extension users encounter Assistant when they click "Block ads on this website" button. We will not go into the details here, those who interested can find the exhaustive changelog inside the Assistant repo. [Improved] InsertCSS to use instead of the content scripts There was a certain change in Chrome browser recently, that prompted us to respond by reconsidering the way we inject scripts and styles. The good thing is, thanks to this change we now have less bugs, more possibilities and were even able to make the extension more lightweight by reducing the amount of code. [Improved] ExtendedCss has been updated to v1.10 This change is on the technical side, but from the end user perspective it converts into better performance and better quality ad blocking, thanks to more tools being available to the extension now. Common [Fixed] Some regex rules don't work [Fixed] Can't build the extension with Maven 3.5.2 [Fixed] Assistant menu doesn't save its position on pages [Fixed] Assistant doesn't block in 'Preview' mode [Fixed] Element hiding exclusion can't be applied to iframe [Fixed] Filters are not getting updated after the clean install [Fixed] Assistant dialog default position is different from where it should be [Fixed] AdGuard extension for Yandex Browser prevents downloading of .pdf files on vk.com [Fixed] Rules proposed by AdGuard for "content-security-policy-check" are incorrect [Fixed] Warning Page Appears Twice [Fixed] Extension can't detect it when you disable filtering in Adguard for Win via Assistant [Improved] Old links have been replaced with new ones ============================== In addition to browser extensions, there are also AdGuard versions for Windows and Mac. You can download them on the website adguard.com. How do they differ from the browser extension: - Block ads in all browsers. - Block ads even better (although it would seem that it just couldn’t be any better :)). - Block requests to dangerous sites, instead of just warning about them. - Contain Parental Control module. When it is enabled, you can safely leave your children alone with the internet. - Allow you to install extensions (userscripts) - Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey analogue for all browsers. - Integrated with the Web of Trust (WOT, mywot.com).
