We’ve added a major feature in AdGuard v4.9 for Android: native support for userstyles. This feature has been available in AdGuard for Windows and AdGuard for Mac for a while, and now we are bringing it to AdGuard for Android!
Userstyles are similar to userscripts in a way, but they only focus on changing the appearance of websites using CSS, without getting into their code. Now customizing websites — like adding a dark theme — becomes an easy task. You can create your own userstyles in the app itself, or install ready-made styles from trusted online sources.
To add a userstyle, go to Settings → Filtering → Extensions→ Add extension → Import from file or URL. To create your own style, tap Add extension → Create userstyle.
Also, some users might have recently faced a bug that was increasing statistics to ridiculously huge values. We fixed the issue, and once you install AdGuard v4.9 for Android, you will see normal numbers in the Statistics tab.
Please note that statistics accumulated earlier than the last 24 hours will be heavily pruned.
Aside from this serious issue, we have also worked on fixing smaller bugs. As always, we’ve updated CoreLibs and Scriptlets for better functionality of the app.
