4.7

Today’s version is exactly what we love: it introduces a fresh feature we couldn’t wait to see on the app. And it’s no small release – we’re introducing an in-app privacy browser to the app! Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

AdGuard v4.7 is the last version that supports Android 7 and 8. Starting with the next release, we will only offer support for Android 9 or higher.

A private browser, because there’s no such thing as too much privacy

Keeping privacy in mind while browsing has become an essential part of many users’ everyday life. We want our app to be part of that routine, and that’s why we’re rolling out the AdGuard private browser, bringing an extra layer of privacy to your daily web experience.

So, what’s so cool about this browser?

  • Ad and tracker blocking (of course!)
  • Easy history deletion with a visible, accessible button. Also, your browser history is automatically cleared when you close the browser

To explore this new feature, tap Try our private browser on the app's home screen. You can also access the browser through the Protection tab, where you can set a default search engine and even create a browser widget.

Just a heads-up: our private browser is still in the early stages of development and has a few limitations, like the inability to handle multiple sessions at once. In the future, we’ll offer a more comprehensive browsing experience, but for now, we suggest using it as a supplement to your usual browser’s Incognito Mode, rather than a replacement. Sounds good?

4.7 Beta 1 Pre-release
Pre-release

Today's beta version is exactly what we love: it introduces a fresh feature we can’t wait to see live in the main release. And it’s no small beta either: we’re introducing a privacy browser to the app! Let’s take a closer look at each of these.

AdGuard v4.7 is the last version that offers support for Android 7 and 8. From the next release, we will only offer support for Android 9 or superior.

A private browser, because there’s no such thing as too much privacy

Keeping privacy in mind while browsing has become an essential part of many users’ everyday life. We’re rolling out the AdGuard private browser, bringing an extra layer of privacy to your daily web experience.

So, what’s so cool about this browser?

  • Ad and tracker blocking (of course!)
  • Easy history deletion with a visible, accessible button. Also, your browser history is automatically cleared when you close a tab
  • The option to save a browsing session by creating a bookmark — something regular Incognito Mode doesn’t offer! If you want to pick up right where you left off without re-opening every tab or logging back in, this feature is for you. For this to work, though, we do store cookies and localStorage

To explore this new feature, tap Try our private browser on the app's home screen. You can also access the browser through the Protection tab, where you can set a default search engine and even create a browser widget.

Just a heads-up: our private browser is still in the early stages of development and has a few limitations, like the inability to handle multiple sessions at once.
