AdGuard (Android TV) 4.4.167 beta

Improved Firewall functionality is the highlight of AdGuard v4.4 for Android beta. We have been testing it for a long time and now we are ready to introduce it to you.

Now you can select the apps you want to be notified about. Don't want to receive notifications about Chrome connections? Open the pull-down menu, tap a notification about Chrome, then tap Mute. All Firewall notifications for this app will be disabled.

Alternatively, you can go to Protection → Firewall → Notifications. Select an app and toggle it off.

We also fixed some minor bugs and updated UserscriptsWrapper, CoreLibs, and DNsLibs.
