Filter list updates
The default filter lists update automatically every 7 days. Major upstream changes are published on the AdGuard filter repository and the EasyList project. We do not maintain a per-update changelog for filters; the upstream repos already do this well.
Upcoming

- Element picker (right-click → block this element)
- Stats dashboard (locally only — never sent to a server)
- Firefox build
- Public open-source release
- Localized UI (Spanish, German, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese first)
