This quick update fixes a bug that could have happened to our long-term users. If you have been using AdGuard for a few years and your security certificate expired, it could have lead to an HTTPS filtering failure. After this update, you will see a notification on the app’s main screen. Tap on it and follow on-screen instructions to reinstall the certificate and resume HTTPS filtering.

Disclaimer AdGuard for Android is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

In this version we focused on updating CoreLibs. Namely, we dealt with the priority of existing modifiers and added several new ones: $denyallow, $redirect-rule, $removeheader, and $specifichide. It might be of interest to users who’d like to create their own ad filters. Besides, we’ve made userscript exclusions work properly and fixed all issues found.
We know you are waiting for v4.0, so are we. Trust us, it’s worth it.

Well, well, 3.6.2 release arrived. One beta and two RCs have proved successful, we said, “Hooray,” and released the final version right away.

So, what’s inside it? We could write about updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs, improved data collection for reports and minor issues like parsing SDNS links for DoQ servers, but honestly, not many people would understand what the hell it means. Trust us, the app has only gotten better!

P.S. v4.0 is coming. Hopefully, v3.6.2 will be the last way station before the new era.

AdGuard for Android v3.6 is headlined by two pretty big changes, new features even. It's watching YouTube ad-free inside the app and DNS-over-QUIC protocol support. The first one is easy to grasp, the second one will take some explaining.
​

[Enhancement] An option to watch Youtube ad-free #2994
​
Blocking ads in YouTube on Android has been exclusive to browsers for a long time, thanks to the restrictions Android OS imposes on filtering other apps' traffic. However, we found a way for you to avoid ads in YouTube app. Follow these easy steps:
​

​

1. Open the YouTube app and start the video you want to watch.
2. Tap on the Share button and select AdGuard for Android from the list of apps.
3. A new window will pop up where you'll be able to watch the video without being interrupted by ads!
   ​

[Enhancement] DNS-over-QUIC support
​
DNS-over-QUIC, or simply DoQ, is a DNS encryption protocol. You might have heard about DNS encryption protocols before, the most common ones are DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS (DoH and DoT correspondingly). So what makes DoQ so special? A bunch of things, really: out-of-the-box encryption, reduced connection times, and better performance in cases of lost data packets.
​

​
The feature is still experimental — AdGuard for Android is one of the first open-source implementations of DNS-over-QUIC — but it's perfectly functioning and we encourage you to try it. You'll find it under DNS Filtering. Select AdGuard DNS and choose DoQ from among the available encryption protocols.
​

Changelog

• [Enhanced] HTTPS filtering for the Firefox Fenix browser is enabled forcibly #3617
• [Enhanced] The "What's new" dialog is updated #3638
• [Fixed] Shadowsocks proxy gets removed automatically #3641
  ​

DnsLibs updated to v1.4.14

• [Enhanced] DoQ/DoH/DoT queries are retried before using the fallback #86
• [Other] DoQ support is added to DNS stamps #84

It's time to release AdGuard v3.5 for Android. We took our time with this one: tested two betas and expanded the changelog. What's in there? Introduced compatibility mode with AdGuard VPN for Android, updated CoreLibs and a load-truck of fixed bugs.

[Enhancement] Compatibility Mode with AdGuard VPN for Android app #3441

Since AdGuard VPN for Android was first introduced, there was already a way to make it work along with AdGuard ad blocker. But to make the two apps coexist in peace, you were required to jump through some hoops. Anyone who went ahead and did the thing 100% has been waiting for a proper integration ever since — and we oblige.

The best kind of compatibility is when you install two apps and they just start working together. We did exactly that. Presuming you already have AdGuard ad blocker installed, just download AdGuard VPN from Google Play Store (you can get there right from the ad blocker app, there's a new item in General Settings menu).

Both apps will detect each other and do everything that's needed for smooth joint work. All that will be left for you is to enjoy both ad-free Internet and all the benefits of a VPN. By the way, it works the other way around just as well: install AdGuard ad blocker on top of an already-running AdGuard VPN and you're good.

If you'd like to disable Compatibility Mode for any reason, it's very simple to do so from AdGuard ad blocker settings, just toggle the switch. Additionally, you can add AdGuard ad blocker and AdGuard VPN tiles to your device's notification bar and toggle them in one tap at your own will — thanks to Compatibility Mode the configuration will change immediately and silently.

A release candidate for the upcoming AdGuard v3.5 for Android is now available. We believe that exposing an RC version to trusted users is a great way to test new features before the release.

This update includes a couple of small fixes and a CoreLibs upgrade – we are eager to polish everything until it shines.

Today we release the first beta version of AdGuard v3.5 for Android. It features a long list of various impovements in its changelog, but the main focus is, without a doubt, on the freshly introduced compatibility mode with AdGuard VPN for Android.

If you'd like to disable Compatibility Mode for any reason, it's very simple to do so from AdGuard ad blocker settings, just toggle the switch. Additionally, you can add AdGuard ad blocker and AdGuard VPN tiles to your device's notification bar and toggle them in one tap at your own will — thanks to Compatibility Mode the configuration will change immediately and silently.

Meet AdGuard v3.4 for Android, it’s time for it to see the world! Having tested two betas, we feel confident to present this version to a wider audience. Spring is a time for renewal, and software is not an exception. We've fixed some old bugs, updated CoreLibs and made the app more compatible with Android TV.

[Fixed] AdGuard blocks Internet connection #2842

This bug was a hard nut to crack. For a long time it appeared randomly (at least, it seemed so) on devices of AdGuard users. Still, the symptoms matched: smartphones lost any network completely while AdGuard was turned on. Of course, it was crucial for us to solve this problem, and at last, we've managed to do it. It’s beyond words how relieved we feel afterwards, let alone the affected users!

[Fixed] Firewall's restrictions are ignored when WiFi gets enabled #3313

Another troublesome bug that deserves special attention. In the previous version 3.3, if you had specifically prohibited some apps from accessing the Internet via mobile data, the restrictions worked right up until you enabled Wi-Fi, which was not the intended behaviour.

[Enhancement] Integration with DnsLibs #3229

DnsLibs is a DNS proxy library that's required to provide DNS filtering. It supports all existing DNS protocols including DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and DNSCrypt. We developed it to replace the old DNSproxy, which had one serious flaw: it caused high battery resource consumption. DnsLibs is much better optimized and will ensure a longer lifespan for your phone's battery if you're using DNS filtering a lot.

[Enhancement] Improved functionality on Android TV #3238

AdGuard for Android is first and foremost an app for mobile phones and tablets, but it can be installed on other Android devices, such as smart TVs. We have made several improvements for this specific case, for example:

• AdGuard now better works with lists
• Better navigation between AG menus on smart TVs
• Option to click on snackbars
• Option to exit the promo screen
• "Close" option for all dialogues

Now AdGuard for Android will be much easier in use if you decide to install it on your smart TV. If you still encounter any bugs or inconsistent behaviour, please report it here.
