Full summary | |
An efficient blocker: Fast, potent and lean, and yet can load and enforce thousands more filters than other popular blockers out there.

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). |
