User reviews

AdGuard AdBlocker is praised for effectively blocking ads, easy-to-use interface, and regular updates that let users manually block unwanted elements. However, multiple users report intrusive pop-ups introduced in recent updates that degrade browsing experience. There are also occasional conflicts with other extensions, inconsistent YouTube ad blocking, and some crashes. Overall, it remains a strong ad blocker but the recent UI annoyances and stability issues have been frequently mentioned.
