New in AdGuard for Firefox 4.2.109 Beta (May 2, 2023)

  • The new version of AdGuard Browser Extension has undergone major changes that are not immediately noticeable. We've moved all the “filtering” code into a new, separate library — this allows us to prepare the extension for a seamless transition to MV3.
  • A bit of background:
  • Some time ago we transferred the URL filtering engine from the extension to a separate library called `tsurlfilter'. The main purpose of the library is to reuse the filtering logic in our products (browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox, rules converter for Safari, linter, etc.).
  • The `tsurlfilter' had two main parts:
  • A filtering engine that matches URLs with the rules loaded into it
  • A Chrome- and Firefox-specific programming interface responsible for applying the rules found
  • With MV3, we need to maintain filter code not only for different browsers, but also for different manifest versions, as well as provide a seamless transition from MV2 to MV3 as browsers remove the old API. We're in no hurry to move to MV3 right away as its API is very limited.
  • Adding new logic to solve this problem in tsurlfilter would have made the library too heavy, so we decided to design a new software platform that would hide the logic specific to different browsers and manifests behind a single and simple API. The new library was named tswebextension.
  • The new tswebextension library:
  • With tswebextension, it will be easier to maintain and update our products.
  • The new version of the browser extension for Chrome and Firefox has completely redesigned the background service using tswebextension — this will allow us to seamlessly move to MV3 in Chrome in future major releases.
  • In addition, we've updated the AdGuard API which also uses tswebextension “under the hood”.

New in AdGuard for Firefox 4.0.63 Beta (Nov 23, 2021)

  • Important known issue: the current v4.0 beta has quite an unpleasant bug in it: it blocks access to web pages misreporting them as phishing ones due to Safebrowsing cache issue. We’ve noticed this problem immediately after publishing the beta and hotfix is already on review at Chrome Web Store. We expect it to be published soon. As a temporary solution, please disable Phishing & Malware protection in the extension settings. More about it here.
  • Meet AdGuard Browser Extension v4.0! It’s not a mere update, but a major release that delivers a pack of new features to the users of the extension.
  • Code refactoring and new filtering engine:
  • Refactoring has become sort of a buzzword that implies massive code rewriting, which we did to complicate our lives and make it easier in the long run. Besides, we added support for TSUrlFilter, our new filtering platform that implements AdGuard content blocking rules.
  • TSUrlFilter is a filtering engine. In AdGuard apps, its role is performed by CoreLibs, and if happen to read release notes, you must have heard about it more than once. TSUrlFilter is a rule application module that will be used in various projects, including AdGuard DNS.
  • Responsive design:
  • We switched to responsive (or adaptive) design. That is to say, that interface elements will adapt to screen size both on desktop and mobile devices, redardless of the model.
  • This is convenient both for us, because we don't need to develop separate versions of the Browser extension, and for users — it's always nice when an app (or a browser extension, in the case given) looks good.
  • Redesign and new Filtering log:
  • Now the filtering log not only сomplies with the principles of the responsive web design, its overall appearance has changed significantly. If you used the former filtering log, you'll be able to tell the difference: the new version presents searching in tabs, many new request statuses and filters that facilitate finding the needed requests. New filters and statuses are highlighted, and and tooltips explaining each one pop up when hovering a cursor over them. Apart from that, you can preview requests and format them in the same dialog — clicking the "Beautify" button makes it easier to read these requests.
  • The editor in the User rules section can now be opened in fullscreen mode, which makes working adding, editing, and deleting filter rules much more convenient. Finally, there is a new action on the AdGuard Browser Extension popup that allows to reset all the user rules for the currently opened website in one fell swoop.
  • Besides, now the AdGuard Browser Extension features dark theme that everybody loves so much.
  • Support for new modifiers after switching to TypeScript:
  • "Still don't get what makes TSUrlFilter better than the previous filtering engine?" the most curious may ask. Probably, the main advantage is te new modifiers: $removeheader, $redirect-rule, $ping, $path, $noop, and $denyallow. And the $redirect modifier has been significantly improved, so now all the $redirect rules for a website can be cancelled by applying @@||example.org^$redirect.
  • Apart from the above-mentioned, Hebrew and Finnish localizations were added.
