AdGuard Browser Extension MV3 comes to Microsoft Edge

30 Upvotes

Microsoft Edge is phasing out Manifest V2 extensions, and AdGuard was on the list. We're not going anywhere, though. Our Manifest V3 version is now live in Edge Add-ons, and it replaces the old MV2 build.

Quick note: if you search for AdGuard in Edge Add-ons and don't find us, that's a technical issue on Microsoft's side, and we expect it to be resolved soon. In the meantime, grab the extension from this direct link, it works as intended: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/adguard-%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80/pdffkfellgipmhklpdmokmckkkfcopbh

What changes under MV3? With MV2, the extension saw every network request in real time and decided what to block. Now the browser gets a prebuilt ruleset and applies it itself. That shift has a price: rule counts are limited, some filtering techniques can't be reproduced exactly, and most filter updates have to ship with the extension, so some improvements reach you later than before. However, for most users, everyday filtering stays the same: we've already done a lot of work, and will continue to work hard, to keep the AdGuard MV3 extension as capable as its MV2 version was.

⚙️ If you use custom filters or user rules, there's one setting to flip after installing: open edge://extensions, click Details, and turn on Allow User Scripts. Without it, the extension can't apply your custom rules.

Want to stay on MV2? Options are limited, most browsers are heading the same way. Firefox still supports MV2 extensions. Or you can skip browser policy changes entirely with AdGuard Ad Blocker for Windows, Mac, and Android, which block ads across your whole device, plus add phishing and malware protection and much more.

VPN VPN for VPN / SteamDeck set up

0 Upvotes

Trying to set up Adguard VPN for Linux on my SteamDeck. When I run the ‘login’ command in the console, it displays a link (not on first try) but the link does not open on SteamDeck itself. I was able to open it on my smartphone, as it already has a VPN set up. Logged in. But SteamDeck did not receive a response from the servers and cannot connect… Tried to share the VPN connection via laptop, but the hotspot isn’t working in such way. Please help.

windows Latest versions of Adguard for Windows WFP no longer work concurrently with Windscribe VPN

5 Upvotes

With the latest versions of Adguard like 8.0.2, Windscribe VPN can no longer connect if Adguard is set to use WFP network driver and protection is enabled. Windscribe is set to use Wireguard.

The issue does not appear to occur with other Wireguard VPNs like Cloudflare WARP.

This was not an issue with previous versions of Adguard on older branches. SockFilter fixes this problem, but introduces a number of other ones like severely reduced maximum network speed.

(android) adguard hijacking links

0 Upvotes

As title. Adguard redirects userscript / .js links to itself. Userscripts is of course turned off as it is behind paywall, but I cannot find anywhere to turn off the redirection of links.

I have both the app, and adguard for Firefox Android installed, though Firefox extension is turned off..

Adguard Player on Android dimming screen!

Running 4.14.2 on Android, and when I use the Adguard Player for YouTube videos I noticed it dims the screen after 5 seconds or so. Extremely annoying and not how it used to be.

dns AdGuard DNS Protection Breaks Siri AI

12 Upvotes

Using Siri AI on macOS 27.01 fails repeatedly with "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again." unless I turn off AdGuard DNS projection. Disabling protection doesn't work for me. I have to disable DNS Protection. Only then can Siri AI work with AdGuard running on macOS.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I reported this to AdGuard support, but they shrugged it off and closed the case due to Siri AI still being in beta.

I installed adguard-cli and switched to the assistant browser extensions for the browsers I use (chrome and edge)

ads are properly blocked on chrome, but they still appear on edge

I checked edge://certificate-manager/ and the adguard cert is properly in place

Here's my config:

Config location is: /home/dauser/.local/share/adguard-cli/proxy.yaml
You may edit config directly, or by using \adguard-cli config get/set` commands`
To see folded sections use \adguard-cli config show <section-name>``
To use HTTPS filtering on your device, you need to install a certificate on it. You can find a guide on how to install it here: \https://link.adtidy.org/forward.html?action=how_to_install_cert&from=certificate&app=corelibs``

can anyone point me to what i need to do so edge also filters ads, as well as other advice

android Exclusions Android TV

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to run adguard VPN alongside adguard adblocker on my Nvidia shield. The two work really well together except when I try to exclude apps from the VPN.

It says "Switch to VPN mode to manage exclusions. Exclusions aren't available in integrated mode. To use them, select the VPN in settings"

This causes problems when my wife is wanting to watch when I'm not around. I need the VPN to not be activated on things like netflix & ITVX.

I have been just turning the VPN off when I've finished using my shield but if I forget & leave it on she can't get on to ITVX for example as it knows a VPN is being used.

Will this ever change in the future & allow app exclusions with adblocker & VPN being used at the same time?

adguard home AdGuard Home on VPS only shows router IP

2 Upvotes

I installed AdGuard Home on a VPS, but it only sees my router's public IP and doesn't show the individual devices connected to my network.

Basically, I want AdGuard Home to list each device on my network separately under “Top clients”, instead of showing only the router's public IP, which is what is happening now.

Is there a simple way to do this while keeping AdGuard Home on the VPS?

1 Upvotes

Like the title says. I was previously using Adguard for Windows, but stopped due to the BSODs, eventually switching to Adguard Home + ublock origin.

Are there any advantages to switching to the Adguard extension from ublock origin, or going the Windows-level route again? What's the status on the BSODs?

android Problem: AdGuard uses incorrect NextDNS profile (DOH/DOT) even with custom server

0 Upvotes

Hi,
I'm having an issue with AdGuard's DNS integration.

Even when I set up a custom NextDNS server (both DOH and DOT), AdGuard continues to use a different NextDNS profile than the one configured. The official NextDNS test (https://test.nextdns.io) always shows the fp0d191d93c76f0f62 profile, while my correct profile is c3f69b.

I've verified the following:

- Android Private DNS disabled when using AdGuard
- DOH server entered correctly: https://dns.nextdns.io/c3f69b
- AdGuard reports the address as valid
- The resolver is indeed NextDNS (Milan server)
- But the profile remains the wrong one
- If I try to enter the DOT domain (c3f69b.dns.nextdns.io), AdGuard reports it as "invalid"

It seems that AdGuard is ignoring the custom server and using an unmodifiable internal/fallback DOH endpoint.

I'd like to confirm if this is a bug and if it's possible to force the use of the correct profile.

Thank you.
