The biggest thing about AdGuard v2.5 for Mac is better compatibility with Big Sur. Thanks to adoption of System Extensions, AdGuard will work better on the newest macOS iteration — read below to find out the details.
Other than that, we made a lot of changes and enhancements to CoreLibs, which will result in an overall better filtering quality.
[Enhancement] System Extensions support in Big Sur #692:
First of all, what are System Extensions? It all started in 2019 when Apple decided to minimize the amount of code that's executed in kernel. The old framework — Kernel Extensions — was declared as deprecated. As an alternative, Apple offered System Extensions, and specifically Network Extensions as a framework for apps that filter traffic.
In macOS 11 (Big Sur), the old Kernel Extensions will not be supported (partly or at all), so we are adding support for the new framework. If you're already on Big Sur preview, make sure your AdGuard works in Network Extensions mode: open AdGuard's menu -> Select Preferences... -> Network -> Select Mode.... "Kernel Extension" mode should be grayed out, and "Network Extension" mode should be selected.
Unfortunately, as a replacement for Kernel Extensions, Network Extensions aren't around for long yet (they first appeared in this role in macOS 10.15). They are still being actively developed by Apple, so there is a significant amount of various issues associated with them. If you're facing any, please check out our problem solving guide.
Other changes:
[Fixed] AdGuard icon hidden from menu bar #265
[Fixed] The protection is automatically deactivated when the system goes into sleep mode #722
[Fixed] AdGuard doesn't filter Brave Browser on Big Sur #746
[Fixed] Enable/disable protection in main menu is available when the app starts
[Fixed] Parameters stripped by Stealth Mode are not visible in filtering log
[Fixed] Incorrect behavior of EV-certs filtering feature
[Fixed] Switching between logging modes is not working with kext
[Fixed] Trackers counter doesn't work
[Other] Upstream Proxy added for AdGuard #731
[Other] Added "How to enable Network extension" screen
[Other] New app icons for Big Sur
[Other] Localizations updated

New in Adguard 2.4 (Jun 25, 2020)

New in Adguard 2.3.2 (Dec 24, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.3.1 Beta (Dec 10, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.2.3 (Dec 10, 2019)

What makes a good ad blocker update? New features? We added custom userscripts support and activation via personal account — check. Improved ad blocking quality? There’s a CoreLibs update and support for new modifiers — check. Fixes to known bugs? It’s all here, and it’s for you to enjoy!
[Added] Custom userscripts support #11:
Userscripts, or “extensions” as we also call them, are highly useful mini-programs that change the behavior of web pages. Every AdGuard for Mac user probably knows about at least some of the extensions added by default, for example, AdGuard Assistant or Popup Blocker.
Now you have an option to add any custom extensions by clicking on the plus symbol in the “Extensions” tab of AdGuard settings window. You are able to load userscripts either from a local file or by URL.
[Added] Option to activate AdGuard by logging into your personal account #588:
This is something we’ve already tried with some of the other AdGuard products, and it proved to be a useful addition. Basically, instead of entering a license key directly, you can link your adguard.com personal account to the app by entering the credentials, and AdGuard will automatically get activated if there’s at least one eligible license key in your account.
[Added] Scriptlets support
Scriptlets is a powerful ad blocking instrument. You can say that scriptlet is an internal script (a mini-program) that we install with the app, and then execute that script with the help of filtering rules. Putting it simply, scriptlets allow us to modify how the code of the web page behaves. As for the practical use, this helps to block anti-ad blockers, for example, and in some other cases.
[Added] $redirect and $rewrite modifiers support:
They are practically the same modifiers, and they allow to substitute resources. If you are not a custom filtering rules aficionado, don't bother with it. Just know that it is yet another instrument in the hands of filter developers that helps block ads more efficiently.
We should mention that both $redirect and $rewrite modifiers are still kind of working in test mode, but they are fully operational and you should feel free to use them.
Other:

New in Adguard 2.2.3 Beta (Nov 20, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.2.0 Beta (Nov 7, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.1.3 (Oct 18, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.1.2 (Aug 16, 2019)

This update will not blow you away, unless you are really, really into bugfixes and under the hood improvements. But those we have aplenty, especially when it comes to CoreLibs filtering engine. As a result, the new Mac version works faster and blocks ads better than its predecessor, but lacks bit in the wow-factor: the only new feature is, admittedly, rather tame.
[Added] Automatic filter subscriptions detection #279:
Most filters have “subscribe” buttons on their homepages or in other places. From now on, AdGuard will be able to intercept click on such links and offer you to add these filters to the app. It’s not much perhaps, but it’s a nice thing to have and it certainly won’t hurt anyone 🙂
[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.4:
There are over 50 bugfixes and improvements in this new CoreLibs version. Some notable examples:
AdGuard doesn't unnecessarily reset cookies anymore. Previously it could lead to such problems as spontaneous sign outs, which was especially irritating for websites like Twitch or YouTube.
Protection restart doesn't require closing connections anymore. Before v2.1, protection restarts could sometimes cause the interruption of your ongoing downloads, issues with online games etc.
Several issues with upload speed have been resolved.
Overall, AdGuard for Mac is now faster and much more stable than it used to be
[Fixed] No internet connection with custom DNS in DNSCrypt #528
[Fixed] adguard-tcpkill process constantly crashes on macOS Catalina #530
[Fixed] “Reset Settings” option hangs the app #543
[Fixed] iTunes Store access issue #552

[Improved] The protocol to add filter subscriptions #559
[Improved] Localizations have been updated

New in Adguard 2.0.6 (Jun 17, 2019)

New in Adguard 2.0.4 (May 31, 2019)

[Added] CoreLibs integration #232:
This is the first AdGuard for Mac that introduces CoreLibs — the new filtering engine that lies at the core of the filtering process. It is not random that we put this before such huge news as Stealth Mode or new design. The effects of this change will be both big and long lasting.
CoreLibs significantly enhances both ad blocking quality and performance, in comparison to the latest stable version. And since CoreLibs is a cross-platform filtering engine, in addition to these obvious improvements it allows to implement more new features that previously were only available in other AdGuard products.
Worth mentioning that AdGuard for Mac becomes the second AdGuard product to receive the «CoreLibs treatment» after Adguard for Android.
[Added] Stealth Mode #12:
Stealth Mode is a special module which sole purpose is to protect your online privacy. It went a long way from an obscure, Windows-exclusive feature, to the centerpiece of almost any AdGuard product in the very near future. This is a logical flow of things as the value of privacy has been rising to the sky for some time now, and the need to protect it becomes apparent.
If you had a chance to use AdGuard for Windows, you will find inside all familiar options. We’ll not clog up the changelog by describing every single one, they are all explained in the tooltips next to them.
[Improved] New UI #346:
Finally, we get to the new UI. You may be baffled why it was left until the very end of the changelog, the explanation is very simple: the changes are modest. Both the main screen and the settings menu look different enough, but you won’t have to re-familiarize yourself with the app. Think new, prettier icons, honed styles and so on.
One thing that stands out is the new Assistant, it is miles ahead of the old version in terms of convenience, and allows you to access the web reporter for any filter-related issues on the web pages.
Oh, and another treat, exclusively for Mojave users who prefer dark themes. AdGuard now supports the dark theme, so if you switch to it in your Mac settings, AdGuard will no longer be a black sheep among your applications, pun not intended.
New users will also be greeted with redesigned onboarding screens. They are made more informative and help make first steps and adjust AdGuard according to your needs.
[Added] AdGuard Extra extension #492:
In some complicated cases the usual approach with filtering rules just doesn’t work. In particular, in some cases of ad blocker circumvention/ad reinjection. So we came up with an alternative solution — a userscript. For those unfamiliar, userscripts are basically mini programs that modify web pages and augment browsing.
AdGuard Extra does it in a way that makes it harder for websites to employ the circumvention/reinjection techniques. AdGuard for Mac is the first AdGuard product to get this addition, we are thrilled to see it in action and read your feedback on it.
[Changed] Developer ID has been changed #460:
Application’s Developer ID has been changed to Adguard Software Limited. This shouldn’t concern you much, but if you are curious why it’s because of the problem we ran into on Mojave. Basically, all new and updated apps on Mojave now have to be notarized. In the future, this will be mandatory for all applications. And part of the notarization process for us was changing the Developer ID.
NOTE: if you currently have AdGuard installed to any folder except for /Applications, the old version will launch after the update anyway. In this case, you need to close and uninstall the old AdGuard. Users who have AdGuard installed to /Applications already can update as usual.

Ad blocking:
[Fixed] AdGuard doesn't filter apps from the WebCatalog app #165. Previously, AdGuard wasn’t able to filter apps installed with WebCatalog, and they couldn’t even be added to the list of filtered apps manually. This issue gets fixed in this version.

Networking:
[Added] An option to exclude websites with EV certificates from filtering #170. An option already familiar to Windows users. Some websites feature Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, which require a very strict verification process and offer a stronger guarantee that the website is plausible and trusted. Usually, they are bank websites, payment systems etc., and they normally do not have many ads anyway, if any. We have also improved the security aspect of AdGuard by addressing some security-related issues (#186, #194).
[Fixed] Wrong cyphers order #224
[Fixed] SHA-1 intermediate issue #194

[Fixed] Several network errors and compatibility issues
UI:
[Improved] Filter editor has been reworked #56. Now it has become possible to enter the 'advanced editing mode'. Basically, it means that the User filter turns into a single text area which you can work with as in any text editor: copy/paste several lines at once and apply all changes at once and not line by line. The search tool will help you to find or replace anything you need. All in all, it should be a welcome change for all the aspiring filter developers.
[Added] Add "Reset settings..." option #180
[Changed] "System Extension Blocked" issue on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) #217

AD BLOCKING:
[Added] Extended CSS support #109, #120
This is a very important addition in terms of future (and present) possibilities that it opens for ad blocking. Extended CSS is a module for applying CSS styles with extended selection properties. Basically, it means that we will be able to select and, therefore, block some elements that we would not be able to block otherwise. Notably, this concerns such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.
[Added] $important modifier #132: This new addition is an significant one, but mostly relevant for creators of custom filter rules. With it's help you can give certain rules higher priority.

New in Adguard 1.2.0.251 Beta (Feb 15, 2016)

Added a $replace modifier for basic rules:
This new rule modifier allows Adguard to change any web response on the fly. Adguard is pretty good at HTML content filtering, and with this new modifier we can change response content of any response disregarding the content type. Especially this is important for blocking video ads, for instance when a video player uses the VAST/VPAID protocol. Simple blocking of the web requests will break the video player. So the only way to block such ads is to modify response content, removing the ads from it.
Security improvements:
In Adguard we keep up with browsers security improvements. So, as all modern browsers, we have also deprecated SHA1 certificates.
