Sorry being stupid now how is that possible as I could not get it working.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

And sorry for the constant questions. I have a note 9 and I have been researching and found another adblocker app called adhell 3. What's more secure or more reliable out of adguard and adhell please. Sorry for the questions.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
AdHell for battery consumption and custom lists, AdGuard for ease of use, content blocking (ads placeholders), and you don't have to generate a new key every 3 months.

AdGuard missing more and more apps; company not responding to users

[MENTION=6134748]Daria, Adguard Team[/MENTION], [MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]

It appears to this user that AdGuard (for Android) is on a moderately quick decline. This is my conclusion based on my observations over the last 2 or 3 months.

More and more ads are slipping through in Android apps. This all started with the migration to CoreLibs, but it is getting worse over time.

I have opened GitHub issues about this, and brought it up in AdGuard's thread on XDA. I see other postings about it here on AdGuard's own forum, but there's no response from AdGuard in any of these venues. The company used to distinguish itself with outstanding communication. Wherever one posted, a response was always forthcoming, usually promptly. Why the change?

Furthermore, development seems to have slowed. The nightlies are barely weeklies at this point and the last few changelogs have been empty. The problem of ads slipping through in mobile apps goes unaddressed and without comment with each new release.

What is going on?

All in all, the impression is that AdGuard development is winding down. Perhaps the company is in difficulty, or has recently lost some key personnel.

I do hope I'm wrong about this, but the signs I'm seeing are all too reminiscent of those that preceded the demise of other good companies. I'm concerned and I doubt I'm the only one.

Please provide reassurance that AdGuard, the product and the company, are both healthy and that your communication with users will be restored to its previous exemplary standard.

This message was originally posted to AdGuard's own Android forum.
[Android Apps and Games] dirtyreturn:
I think it stinks that the nightly channel is like the stable channel these days. And no changelog for .242-.248 , IDK usually changelogs provide the user with what's changed, obviously.

I'm just thinking here anyway, probably not what's going on, maybe they are aware of the issue and are just hard at work. Or maybe they just messed up or something and refuse to acknowledge the fact. Or maybe they're just radio silent before a huge release.

They did just come out with AdguardHome .91. So its not like this project or service or app has been abandoned, I think anyway.

[MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION] , I'm just as curious as you seem to be concerned (if that's the right word for what you're feeling) . I am hoping they haven't jumped ship and that there's something positive coming.

And [MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION], I hope you're wrong too, as you hope the exact same.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Well, if we could add our own custom lists there will be no leaked ads.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
See the original thread on AdGuard's own forum. There, my posting quickly received a reassuring response from a member of the AdGuard team. Amongst other things, he explains the current paucity of nightlies.

It seems they are still hard at it, and simply too busy to communicate much with users, and unable to issue nightly builds at the moment.

The company's communication used to be outstanding, and I personally feel that it's a mistake to ever allow yourself to believe you are too busy to respond to bug reports, but I trust that things will improve once they get 3.0 out the door.

It entered the Nightly (unstable) channel yesterday.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I posted this through the app feedback as well, but for discussions sake...

In the new 3.0 Nightly, the App Management list icons are too subtle in their slightly color difference to note enabled/disabled status.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello!

We are working on UI and performance. This version is nightly-build and quiet unstable :)
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
So I've noticed that after the last few stable updates hitting the Update button no longer shows a little toast pop-up saying which filters were updated. Is that by design or a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I see the toast on my end. Maybe there weren't any updates when you checked.
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
I see them too. I think if you have all notifications turned off in an app you won't see toasts as well
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Ohh. That could be it. I think I started seeing this after Adguard switched to using notification channels instead of its own in-app notification settings. Thanks for the info.
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
Hi, since few update i never could put the Certificate to the system (when i do it, it doesn't recognize as it and delete it)

I'm using a Poco F1 with Magisk 17.3 beta with the latest nightly build..

oh and by the way.. in app management it seems that "massive change filter HTTPS to enabled" doesn't work .. i mean it seems working but it still shows off when you go on all the app in app management

Thanks for looking at this
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Same here on my Pixel wit Magisk 17.3. You can use my Move Certificates Magisk module available in the Downloads section of Magisk Manager.
[Android Apps and Games] xtrocata:
Every time I install the certificate for HTTPS filtering, I get an error that says "Network may be monitored" (it's in the place where it used to show which VPN I'm using). The error doesn't go away even if I turn on Express VPN. Also Speedtest app shows, sometimes, that my internet speed is drastically reduced. If I remove the certificate, that error is gone and the internet doesn't have any more slow downs.

Is there any way I can resolve this? Since the ad blocking is that its best with the https filtering

PS: I'm using a Note 9, if that helps
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Here it's only down when you expand the notification bar which is not a big deal.

But since it's not a notification I didn't find any method so far.

I don't know about the slow down though.
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Its not an error, its just a warning which is a usual behaviour, coz you have enabled https filtering which means adguard can able to decrypt all your https traffic using their certificate. So when operating system allows user installed apps to perform such operation, it shows us a warning in the notification panel.

And regarding your internet speed, adguard has nothing to do with coz the way it works.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:

We do not have such tracking tool for Nightly builds. But we will think about that feature:)
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:

[Android Apps and Games] punk4dance:
[MENTION=8776543]Nastrahl[/MENTION] Can you help resolve this problem cuz im connected to adguard but there is no internet connection even im already enable the http filter and add cert.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
It's hard to tell. Check if you have the enabled option in the android's VPN settings, one called "only connect if VPN is connected" or something like that. It can be an issue depending if some core apps are needed for connections, but are disabled in AdGuard for compatibility reasons.

For browsers I read that they don't trust personal certificates anymore so HTTPS is filtering doesn't working (or for Firefox it asks you to validate everytime for any website). You have to disable HTTPS filtering for your browser in the app list.

Enabling custom DNS can be a issue too because you don't have control of what's blocked, and you can't whitelist anything either. For example in my case, AdGuard blacklisted my French mobile provider, Free, that sometimes uses proxad.net for some of their services like voicemails, so I can't use AdGuard's DNS servers.

Does it work with Spotify ads? How about using this ad blocker and a VPN (IKVE) ? Right now I'm on AdAway, MinMinGuard, using Brave browser with ads blocker activated. Can't say the same about apps. Some of them will the MinMinGuard block, some not. Never worked for Spotify.

Working fine, just one annoying behavior- Norton claims my network (WiFi) is not secured and pops up a red warning once in a while... Anyone knows how to set AdGuard to not cause this ?
[Android Apps and Games] onliner:
Because you're using VPN service, also, I was checking Norton app in Play Store and I just want to say one thing: useless app, I'm 100% sure that I can send you one apk with "destructive" scripts inside and Norton will not find anything, this is Android, not Windows, just enjoy AdGuard and ignore that stuff.

:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] BigE:
Well, I have it 'free' and it is actually working nice. Solved the problem by bypassing AdGuard only for Norton. Unlike your belief , it has some useful aspects. My problem is it popped up an annoying window complaining about AdGuard, so it does work , only just not happy the VPN isn't theirs.

Norton is on the company pushed policy, so it is what it is.. I don't argue with you that you can run malicious scrips on Android ( probably yes) undetected, but this is off topic. Had an annoyance, solved it myself, case closed.

Thanks anyways.

I have a weird issue. When AdGuard is enabled, and connected to WiFi, I can not use Myfitnesspal. It will let me log in successfully but can not get past the blue my fitness pal loading screen and csn not access the main part of the app.

When disconnecting from WiFi, using Lte, leaving Adguaed enabled... It works perfectly.

Simil issue with the XDA labs app. When AdGuard is enabled, and connected to WiFi, I can not access the XDA Forums section of the app.

Anyone else experience this? I wanted to ask here before I submit feedback via the app.

This doesn't happen with Blokada, but I don't really like Blokada. Lol.

did you enable and update the German filter?

the ads should be blocked now.

and make sure you have https filtering enabled, the page and ads use https.

Hi.

Is there any particular reason why very often, when browsing with chrome, once I tap on a link it displays a blank page briefly?

I am using a OnePlus 6 with Pie, adguard 2.12 configured with HTTPS filtering on user certificate, local http proxy filtering.

The same links, when opened with adguard off, don't display any blank page beforehand.

[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
[MENTION=6134748]Daria, Adguard Team[/MENTION]

I just ran into something similar. Using Pie with my usual Chrome and Adguard settings, launching a website from a Bookmark will briefly display a 'Connection Interrupted' page before loading the website. If i use the Address Bar to launch the same sites, either typing the URL or letting autocomplete do it, the website loads directly.

Let me stress again, this only happens when loading a website from a Bookmark in Chrome. Tried with DNS on and off. Firewall is off. Toggled everything i could in Adguard settings but still the same. Firefox is fine.

Edit: I have tested this after clean installing several Pie ROMs, on two different devices now. With some Chrome will show the warning and then load the webpage, with others it stops at the warning until Reload is pressed. I've tested several versions of Chrome too. They all behave the same.

It's the same whether i am on Wifi or on Mobile Data.

What version of AdGuard do you use? (Stable/Nightly) Try to switch on another DNS server and check again. If you have some troubles with that contact our support team at support@adguard.com

Depends on how many functions you enabled in Stealth mode. There is no standard, you decide on your own which is better and what you want to hide.

The obvious thing is that AdGuard let you choose the server-type (DoH/DoT/Crypt/Regular) DNS to select unlike private DNS do :)

AdGuard for Android - new beta v3.0.241 is available!

Hello!

As usual, this email indicates that a new beta version has just hit the servers and is ready to be installed. This beta is certainly a very special one, it contains a large number of high-impact changes.

The CoreLibs filtering engine has received a new boost, ensuring faster and better filtering. The app has been redesigned completely, you may have to spend some time getting used to it. For the aficionados of dark themes in applications we added an option to switch between light and dark themes.

A whole new module has been added to AdGuard: Stealth Mode. It will take the privacy protection to the next level. Feel free to play around with its multiple settings. Speaking of new settings, make sure to tale a look at the renovated DNS screen. We've added the support of DNS-over-TLS protocol, simplified the DNS-over-HTTPS configuration process (you don't need SDNS any more) and allowed to indicate any number of upstream servers for your custom DNS setups.

Going through the rest of the changes: more filter subscriptions, custom filter subscriptions by URL, neatly-looking statistics charts, new first launch wizard and widget redesign.

The amount of testing you can do is limited only by your own imagination :) Hope you will like the new beta and help us translate it into an even better release version. For the complete changelog, as usual, head over to GitHub.

Direct download
[Android Apps and Games] Christendom...:
This new beta is truly significant. Thank you for the Dark Mode, Stealth Mode, and the iOS integrations.

I'm still playing with the different settings and so far this new version is beautiful.

Lastly, I can confirm that if you turn on the Browser API (Block WebRTC) filtering you will have problems streaming some content from your mobile phone. I had problems with YouTube and Cyberflix using Google's Chromecast. YouTube played, but the app wouldn't connect right away and it took several seconds to play the video. To be fair, your notes on the Ad Guard Websites does state this might be a problem. (e.g., Messenger, games, etc.)

This the only thing I have notice so far.

Hi guys. I'm an old Adguard user (i have a lifetime license) and i'm a bit concerned about last versions. This new version is nice (great job!) and i really appreciate all this changes and improvements , but i have the feeling that Adguard is becoming heavier and complex. I don't want to compare apps, but lastly i'm trying Blokada in my smartphone (Huawei P9, Nougat) and it's running better than Adguard (lighter and smoother). Obviously Adguard is far superior than Blokada in available options, design, ...., but i'm wondering if Adguard team has considered to create a light version of Adguard. Thanks for your support.
