Ad muncher v58/27/2023 ![]() * Fixed some race conditions caused by some buffers that were shared between multiple threads * By request, the (somewhat obvious) explanation text next to the "My Filters" list can be toggled on and off by clicking on it Previous versions of Ad Muncher would always check once a month, now you can select monthly, weekly or daily checks (with weekly being the new default) * Rearranged the update tab and implemented a control to select the frequency of update checks. * Rewrote part of the automatic update system to fix several minor update reliability problems * Fixed bug with the handling of certain types of HTML comment tags (or rather, discovered a further intricacy of IE's comment-tag handling and modified Ad Muncher to emulate it) * Implemented a temporary workaround to the conflict with McAfee Enterprise 8.0i that could cause browser crashes Includes extensive options for those who like to tinker, allowing you to remove anything that annoys you. ![]() Filters quickly and reliably, thanks to six years of constant development and feedback from users. Speeds up page loading, thanks to the missing adverts and popups. Blocks adverts in programs like ICQ, Morpheus, Kazaa, Grokster, Opera, PalTalk, iMesh, Bearshare, LimeWire, etc. Sorry about the downer bits, but just had to vent about my life to someone.- Blocks unwanted popups in all browsers. I'll start playing around with Adguard and will let you guys know of any issues I find anyway. I could use any money I can find this Christmas time, and the kids will definitely appreciate it. If you guys require to outsource some work, please don't hesitate to send some my way. I'm a Software Tester by trade, well, I was one. From what I've been reading, all good things, perhaps Santa can get me an Adguard Licence for Christmas. Is there any chance of having an ad supported version that is free? I guess that would be counter intuitive as you guys are for getting rid of ads. I'm a bit ashamed as a man to say this, but I have fallen on very hard times recently and been laid off work, and with only my wife working and paying the mortgage and providing food for the family and everything else, I don't have any money to spend on buying an Adguard Licence. It seems like they think their customers are stupid and keep lying to us all. However, I too, have gotten very frustrated and angered by their new 'attitude' and lack of respect for their customers. I have gotten Ad Muncher many hundreds of additional customers because I was the number one supporter of this product and bought a lifetime licence back at the VERY beginning. I have spent many hours of my own time finding bugs, offering suggestions and sent them countless thousands of website filer issues over this time. I have always helped Murray and Jeff iron out issues, and have had many personal diagnostic builds built by Murray just for me to find some bugs for them. I have been an Ad Muncher user since day 1. There is no future there, so since my goal is to have relatively unobstructed browsing, this program seems the best, and from my limited viewings on this forum (I will explore more) seem to have a good support team. I will miss AM, and I hope you guys can bring Jeff aboard, but it is what it is. I have made the switch, and I think I will be happy with it. I don't have to disable AG to browse ESPN (the last couple of weeks with AM if I didn't disable filtering I had to constantly log back in). HTTPS filtering (or lack of it) was AM's downfall.īrowsing on my phone is a new treat again. I had some ads initially, but I rebooted the computer and they seemed to be gone. In only a few minutes of browsing I have made these observations: It is apparent the end is near for them, and while I don't feel sorry for Murray (he hasn't visited the forum since last October), I feel Jeff was left out to dry and was misled himself.Īnyway, without even trying the free trial I bought the 2+2 liftetime licenses, and the total price is pretty close to what I paid for my last single AM lifetime license (I have 3 of those). I had preached to everyone for many years how nice their program was. I have been with them for at least 10 years and maybe longer with multiple lifetime licenses. After reading this thread linked from the AM forums, and doing some research on AG I very sadly said goodbye to AM.
