AdGuard AdBlocker effectively blocks all types of advertising on all web pages, even on Facebook, YouTube, and others! What AdGuard AdBlocker does:★ Blocks all ads: video ads (includes YouTube adblock), rich media advertising, unwanted pop-ups (pop-up blocker), banners and text ads (includes Facebook adblock) ★ Speeds up page loading and saves bandwidth, thanks to the missing ads and pop-up windows ★ Protects your privacy by blocking common third-party tracking systems ★ Blocks many spyware, adware and dialer installers ★ Protects you from malware and phishing What are the advantages over Adblock or AdBlock Plus?★ AdGuard ad blocker is really fast and lightweight. It uses half as much memory as other popular solutions: Adblock, Adblock Plus, and even outperforms uBlock Adblocker in some tests. ★ AdGuard can handle most of the anti-adblock scripts. You won't have to turn off the ad blocker any more to be able to visit the websites that are using such scripts. ★ AdGuard is simply better looking and modern (in our opinion). |
