WebGuard - the first solution for the filtration of compressed traffic on Android
Android / / December 19, 2019
About six months ago we talked about a comprehensive free tool to protect the Android-devices called WebGuard. Literally just updated the application and are now able to do that, we thought, to realize the impossible in principle.
For those who are not in the subject. WebGuard - is an application that provides a high level of safety and comfort for mobile surfing for 5 topical areas:
- elimination of the possibility to run into malicious sites and sites fraudsters;
- elimination of the possibility to catch a left-apk file to the device;
- Built-in Analog AdBlock for mobile browser;
- protection against surveillance of the social networks and other services-collectors of user data, activities and preferences;
- an increased level of privacy, allowing to hide your browser and Internet address.
More about this you can read in our previous review. Well briefly, after installation, the application creates in VPN-channel device through which traffic filtering. In this data analysis it occurs locally, i.e. without transfer of user information to third-party services.
Despite all these chips, there was a very serious problem: almost all of us use the data compression function in a mobile browser, and in this mode to filter incoming traffic was impossible.
The beauty lies in the fact that now successfully WebGuard protects the user when working in the Classic Opera and Google Chrome, even with the included traffic compression.
Also, developers have reported an improvement in the quality of traffic filtering and increasing the speed of the application. Now the built-in algorithms monitor and filter out unwanted data more carefully, and integrated database AdBlock has become even greater. Cutting excess content not only pleases the eye, but also objectively faster loading pages in the browser. Milestones protection separated understandably categories and operate independently of each other. User at any time can specify which of the functions should work, and which can be turned off.
Despite the increase in functionality, the WebGuard still does not require root and is completely free, and so is our favorite complex "zaschischalkoy" for Android.
