Releases: AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension
5.1.62
Review status
With this release, we're bringing our MV2 and MV3 extensions on the same page. We’re upgrading the MV2 extension to version 5.1, and from this point on, both extensions will be in perfect sync, with their versions updated at the same time.
What’s in it for you? First off, you’ll notice a visual upgrade: the MV2 extension now features the MV3 design. But that’s not all — from now on, bug fixes and features will be implemented more efficiently in both extensions.
We’ve also made some other minor improvements and bug fixes, which you can explore in the full changelog below. One of them deserves to be highlighted: internal optimizations will give the extension the possibility to take part in the Fast Track Review process in the Chrome Web Store. This means that in the future, if our approach works, we will be able to release extension updates with new filters more often, without having to wait for a review according to Chrome Policy. You will get extension updates in your hands – or rather, in your browser – faster than ever!

Unfortunately, the build with the returned Quick fixes filter failed to pass the Chrome Web Store review and we had to remove not only this filter, but also the entire Custom filters group. We're very unhappy about this, but it's a forced measure.
Stay tuned to our blog for our reflections on this matter and a full timeline of events, as well as how the userScripts API and fast-track review can potentially help us.

How to install MV3 beta:
5.0.185
Small but important hotfix.
Changelog
Changed
-
Scriptlet rules are available only from the pre-built filters now.
Now, of the script and scriptlet rules that are added to Custom filters, User rules or Quick fixes filter, only those already used in pre-built filters will work. This means that before applying such a rule, the extension engine will compare the rule body with the list of rules that have already been used in filters from all categories of pre-built filters, such as Ad Blocking, Privacy, etc. If there is a match, the engine will apply the rule, and if not, it will discard it. For example, let's imagine that the Base filter contains the ruleexample.com#%#console.log('test'), then the engine will accept rules likeexample.org#%#console.log('test')and#%#console.log('test'), but will discardexample.com#%#console.log('new test'). -
Added AdGuard Quick Fixes filter.
TSWebExtension (Library wrapper for Browser API and TSUrlFilter)
- TSWebExtension to v2.4.0-alpha.10.
Removed
- Injection of remotely hosted scripts.

How to install MV3 beta:
5.0.183
The bad news is that we had to remove the Quick Fixes filter due to the problems with passing the store review — MV3 restrictions in action. The good news is that we updated other filters — which means that ads will be blocked better.
