[Android Apps and Games] Daria Adguard Team:
Adguard for Android v2.7.153 beta

Hello!

This beta comes with several noticeable changes like new $app modifier or Firewall screen redesign. Find the details below.

UI

[Added] 'Apps & Statistics' settings section #633

We decided to seriously redesign our Firewall section. There will be no more 'Apps & Settings' sub-section inside 'Firewall'. Instead, we introduce a whole new first-level section named 'Apps & Statistics'. It very much resembles the now gone 'Apps & Settings' but has some differences. For example, we got rid of 'global' switches - these buttons were too misleading.

Also, you can now disable network access when the screen is off, and you can configure each app separately.

Another big change is disposal of exclusions lists. Now you can simply add an app to exceptions through the 'Apps and Statistics' screen. There are other changes too, and we will not list them all here. We believe the new layout is more intuitive and you will have no troubles navigating through it.

Important note: this is not yet a big redesign we plan to do in Adguard 3.0. Only the tip of the iceberg :)

[Changed] Instead of stopping protection on settings change, show a toast message #667

[Changed] When user changes default firewall settings, ask him if he wants to reset per-app settings #675

[Changed] Show notification when VPN is revoked #672

[Fixed] Adguard closes if you swipe it with 'No icon' notification setting #662

Ad Blocking

[Added] $app modifier #644

This modifier will be useful for advanced users who create their own custom rules. It allows both blocking ads in a specific app and blocking ads everywhere except for that app. For example, Facebook uses same domains for both ads and useful stuff. This modifier allows to block facebook ads in other apps without breaking the Facebook app itself.

[Fixed] Detect if app targets Android N #653

Due to Android N security policy, HTTPs filtering is impossible for apps developed specifically for Android N, or other apps where user-installed certificates are not trusted. Previously that could lead to errors and app crashes. Now Adguard detects if app targets Android N and does not filter HTTPS for such apps.

[Improved] Increase content filtering rules maximum length limit #590

Compatibility

From now on it will be much easier for users to add any app to exclusions. No need to go to low-level settings anymore, just open the apps screen in 'Apps and Statistics' and add it to exclusions from there.

[Changed] Mountainview and Itau added to https exclusions #641

[Changed] com.yik.yak app added to https exclusions #516

[Changed] Box app added to https exclusions #642

[Changed] Amazon apps added to https exclusions #676

[Changed] com.jet.jet.app is broken with https filtering #612

[Fixed] MeetMe compatibility issue #528

[Fixed] Moovit app is not compatible with https filtering #492
