Adguard For Safari Mac

Logged into my AdGuard account tonight to grab a license key to set up on a Lenovo tablet, and noticed one of my keys is showing as 'BLOCKED'. Unsure of why this is blocked. It was a key that appeared in an email from StackSocial a few weeks back, figuring that I had either ordered another license and forgot about it, I added it to my account. AdGuard for Safari Ad blocking extensions for Safari are having hard time since Apple started to force everyone to use the new SDK. AdGuard extension is supposed to.

Adguard For Safari Vs Adguard For Mac Reddit

This is an FYI for users of the free AdGuard for Safari App.
Recently I had been having issues with AdGuard launching at startup (without launching Safari) despite that option being switched off in AdGuard preferences and not in Login Items in system prefs. Also it was blocking shut down or restart becoming 'Unresponsive' and requiring Force Quit.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled from the app store to no avail, the same problems occurred.
So I contacted the developers and after a few days received a response requesting a copy of the log file which I forwarded. The next day I received a reply with the suggestion I update to the new version. There was included a link to a page with details about the update and a list of bugs fixed plus a link to the update. See below;
The explanatory page covered all of the issues I was experiencing and the update link downloaded a .zip containing a new version.
Note: This updated version is not yet on the App Store
Just as an advisory note here, this is a completely new version so like me you will need to uninstall the previous version before expanding the .zip file.
All my issues were fixed and this app continues to be a great addition to the security of safari for me.
