Adguard is basically free now

This is a really good deal. I use adguard on my phone and love it. I appreciate the fact that you can add your own proxy (HTTPS/socks) on top of it, so you can vpn certain apps if you want as well on a single app.

The ad blocking is top notch.

$12 for lifetime is basically free.

  • Is it better than uBlock Origin? Is it able to block Youtube "you are using ads blocker" message?

    It is because Adguard is from Russia.

  • I never got any ads on Youtube. Maybe it's regional or Google just likes my Falkon browser.

  • For how much Brave for Android may suck, it blocks ads on Youtube and allows background playback.

    Pretty sure Adguard is DNS-based, DNS-based adblockers can't block these types of things, they can only block whole domains

    AdGuard has many different tools, and their apps provide the most extensive blocking form available, by intercepting and filtering traffic.

  • Dns based blocking is on my rpi. No need for asguard than.

  • AdGuard Plus as free browser addon working just fine for many years.

    no i haven't. I need something to setup for kids on tv, so if i will check those if they have dns feature.

  • Maybe I'm out of the loop, what is wrong with uBlock Origin? It blocks ads on YT for me.

    AdGuard Plus does not exist. Adblock Plus is an extension owned by an advertising company.

    One should not set up custom filters as they can interfere with efforts by blocklist authors. This is official advice from the uBlock Origin team.

    Yes, correct. Just typo.

    "They" don't block YouTube ads. They use third party blocklists which are also used by other blockers such as uBlock Origin.

    I didn't cares what they use. Product works very well and you can donate if you like.

    It would be crazy to donate considering they are funded (among others) by Google themselves, in exchange of allowing ads from their "donators" a free pass.

    Well, that's your personal choice.

    I remember back in the day - AdMuncher

  • Check out ahadns, it's free.

  • ArkasArkas Moderator

    ublock origin does the job fine for me.

  • Nextdns.io is free and good.

  • That adguard license is for the app i think? At least on Android its mitm, gotta install a root certificate. Not going to install a random root cert on my phone.

    Adguardhome is still free. Obviously gotta self manage everything and won't be as thorough as local mitm proxy but its good enough for me.

    Thanked by 1Daniel15
  • Ha, ha.... AdMuncher are free for now. Well done.

    Yes I don't fucking get all this commotion about ad blockers.

    Burp.

    that doesn't work when you're out and about on mobile connection unless you have some convoluted wireguard setup to go back home for your dns queries

    adguard on phone works well to get rid of ads no matter where you are, well worth the price just for that

    Every one needs their own asgard
