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.

Hello! This beta has a little bit of everything - some new additions (like DNS filter and $important modifier), some compatibility and other fixes, as well as some quality of life improvements (e.g. you can now customize update check period for filters).

Ad Blocking

[Added] Adguard DNS filter #876

Fresh addition to the Adguard filters family. Adguard DNS filter is composed of several filters (English filter, Social media filter, Spyware filter, Mobile ads filter, EasyList and EasyPrivacy), modified for better DNS filtering. It blocks ads and trackers wherever it is possible to indicate own DNS addresses. Note that it will block the whole domains and not the specific URLs. You can learn more about DNS blocking by visiting this page.

[Changed] "Filter DNS requests" feature is now available for non-premium users #875

With Adguard DNS introduced and being free, there is no point in keeping this Adguard for Android feature paid. Now it will be equally accessible for all users alike. There is still plenty of good stuff in the Premium version of the app :)

[Added] A new low-level setting: "pref.boot.startup.delay" #776
