AdGuard
In this interview I brought AdGuard on because ad blockers are powerful, and you should actually understand who you’re trusting. AdGuard’s approach centers on local, on-device filtering decisions using community-maintained rules, plus an ecosystem that expands into DNS and VPN for broader coverage.
Pros
- +Local/on-device filtering decisions (not inherently uploading browsing traffic)
- +Maintains and collaborates on broadly compatible filter rule syntax
- +Multiple products that cover different layers (app, DNS, VPN)
Cons
- -Requires a high level of trust because it has broad permissions
- -DNS-level blocking can’t handle multipurpose domains without breaking functionality
