AdGuard MV3 extension

How about using WebRTC Protect extension along with AdGuard AdBlocker v5.x?
Does Disabling WebRTC setting in AdGuard extension have any positive advantage?
TIA

 

No utility to add WebRTC Protect extension.
WebRTC Protect does exactly the same job as the AG setting.

Instead, it might be useful to add the scriptlet to eliminate SDP Log as well.

At this time it is useful to combine both 2 choices because,in my opinion,the scriptlet has some functionality problem at a given instant of time caused by the reactivation of the Service Worker.
This is at least what I suspect.

 

Guess you're talking about this right?

Which is...
TIA

 

Code:

#%#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

 

Code:

#%#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

I assume this line enables nowebrtc globally right?

Because I saw at AdGuard github this line:

Code:

example.org#%#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

So I also assume this other line enables nowebrtc scriptlet for just for one domain, correct?


If I'm correct how to enable the script globally but exclude specific domains?
I ask because I've just found out discord.com/login breaks as warned.

 

But do you have problems with the Adguard Adblocker setting or with the scriptlet?
So please for any next question please provide it with more comprehensive info and possibly pictures otherwise I will not waste my time giving answers.

However the exception to the scriptlet should be a rule with this syntax:

Code:

example.com#@#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

This rule didn't work

Code:

discord.com#@#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

 

There are 2 possible exclusion rules.
The one I wrote to you does not work,and this aspect needs to be investigated as maximtop had written to me.
This rule is more powerful I have tried it and it works:

Code:

discord.com#@%#//scriptlet('nowebrtc')

P.S.

I tried it and it works even with the webRTC block setting on.

If you encounter other problematic Web sites, you can delete the user rules for the problematic Web site and check if any of your rules do not allow the Web site to display properly.

Thanks, the last rule worked.

Delete rules thereafter check rules. I wonder how if they are deleted. Wouldn't it be better to comment out the rules?

 

It is just a possibility (limited to each website) that for some might be a better option than completely disabling the extension.

P.S.

Moreover,this option does not appear,as you will notice for all websites,but only for some.
Discord is one of them.
More info to ask the AG Team,I personally know how to handle the custom rules I have entered.

 

I did the MotionMark 1.3.1 test:

https://browserbench.org/

in Edge with 3 extensions:

1. AdGuard AdBlocker = 802.02
2. uBlock Origin Lite + Ping Blocker = 709.25
3. uBlock Origin = 704.80

uBlock Origin is the extension that is last.

Little difference,with the 3 extensions, to the Speedometer 3.0 test.

So it seems that AG v.5.x increases the performance of the graphics system of my Edge browser.

 

AdGuard Adblocker v.5.0.178 is out:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/releases/tag/v5.0.178

 

AdGuard Adblocker v.5.0.183 is out:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/releases/tag/v5.0.183

 

AdGuard v.5.0.185 is out (though not updated in Github)

Changed:

With this change, the scriptlet to prevent the SDP Log from being displayed in the WebRTC - Browserleaks test is now non-functional.

P.S.

Fortunately script-3p as user rules work.
I opened the Log and verified that the recent rule I entered for the new.Google.com block is fully functional:

P.S.1

And the other 2 (3-p) rules (which I also put in uBlock Origin) also work perfectly.

What happened to Custom filters and Quick Fixes filter, or the impact of MV3 policies
https://adguard.com/en/blog/review-issues-in-chrome-web-store.html

 

switched to v4 mv2 for intermediate use. currently this is possible and my settings retain. v5 stays installed to get updates.

 

I was on vacation in Sharm,bad news.

 

"Unfortunately, the build with the returned Quick fixes filter failed to pass the Chrome Web Store review and we had to remove not only this filter, but also the entire Custom filters group. We're very unhappy about this, but it's a forced measure."

read this before at adguard site, a lot of attempts - denied.
"The timeline of our struggle" ff.

 

With adblocks (MV3) there needs to be a change in mindset for users who subscribe to anti-phishing/malwares filter lists.
AdGuard Adblocker updated today and the filter list:

• Online Malicious URL Blocklist

is updated April 21.

Useless.
It is better to use

• Osprey

and/or subscribe to

• DNS-level anti-phishing/malware filter lists.

 

! Title: Online Malicious URL Blocklist
! Description: Blocks domains that are known to be used to propagate malware and spyware.
! Version: 2.1.1.52
! TimeUpdated: 2025-04-28T00:47:47+00:00
! Expires: 12 hours (update frequency)

You can also do as I did some tests in URL Haus Database does not block a single one.
By necessity the malwares are newer than the filter list.
Try.

P.S.

Considering that the AG team are constantly working it is good to take the view that,from now on, it is better to use the MV2 version.
Or another adblock always MV2.

I in fact still use uBlock Origin.

 

This is actually a well-known drawback of MV3 extensions mentioned in the uBOL-FAQ.
