Extension beta 2.0

Today we release new beta version of Adguard extension. This beta brings many important changes and improvements.

Significantly improved performance and memory usage

Simply look at the screenshot below and compare memory usage of the previous version (1.0.3.8) and this new beta (2.0):


New Filtering Log

Now it is not just a list of requests processed by Adguard. This is a complete filter development tool. With the help of the Filtering Log you will be able to analyze what requests are blocked or, on contrary, are allowed by Adguard. Analysis is not the only task of the Filtering Log. Just a couple of clicks and you can block or unlock any request.



You can open it through the context menu or by clicking on the “magnifier” icon in the extension’s menu.

One more important change - Filtering Log is fully functional even if extension works in integration mode.

“Pause protection” function

Pausing protection allows to completely (not only on some particular site) disable Adguard filtering. Resuming it is as easy as turning off.



Adguard goes Open Source

Also Adguard extension beta is now available in Chrome WebStore:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adguard-adblocker/gfggjaccafhcbfogfkogggoepomehbjl

So now you don't have to do all this magic with rename/unzip/install unpacked to install it.

You guys should add Beta to the Chrome extension to differentiate between the two.

Don't forget about signing the Firefox extension too! Is Adguard still in review? Gosh, AMO is so slow.

We have uploaded our add-on beta version in a private queue just for signing.
Waiting for it now.

Stable version is still waiting for full review (more than 220 days now).

As I understand they are buried with add-ons waiting for signing and that's why it takes so long.

It seems like it's all a disaster in the making. Why would Mozilla begin enforcing extension signing when they don't seem to have ample resources to dedicate to extension signing? More and more as time passes, I lose more faith in Mozilla and Firefox. With all the questionable decisions they've been making as of late, no wonder Firefox's userbase seems to be shrinking.
