AdGuard for Mac 2.19

We are presenting our latest release — AdGuard for Mac v2.19! This version offers an assortment of updates and reworkings, aimed in two main directions: security and usability.

We’ve implemented a new protection mechanism: AdGuard for Mac now uses cryptography to protect UserDefaults settings and userscripts. UserDefaults are encrypted with AES-GCM. Other types of data, including userscripts and filters, are protected by SHA256 checksums cryptography, with keys stored in the macOS Keychain. If a third-party app attempts to modify the configuration, AdGuard will detect it and alert you immediately.

Another security-focused feature is that AdGuard can now detect when a userscript compromises a website’s security. If that is the case, you will get a specific warning while trying to install it. This became possible after an important update to CoreLibs.

Concerning usability: we reworked the onboarding process for new users. We added new screens and details to create a smoother flow, making the app easier to understand and navigate.

We updated Scriptlets, DnsLibs, and UserscriptsWrapper as well, and fixed bugs for an overall better app performance.
