Adguard blocks ads and improves your browsing experience

Adguard aims to enhance your Internet browsing by blocking ads, of course, but it also speeds up loading times and blocks dangerous websites.

A trustworthy ad blocker

Adguard is a well-respected name in the world of security software, and previous versions of this app have been well-received. This version looks to build on that reputation with faster loading times and more comprehensive protection against ads, spam, dangerous websites, as well as protection from phishing attempts. It should also eliminate annoying pop-ups, though it should be noted that Adguard is not effective against every type of ad. Other useful features that Adguard provide are parental controls and privacy settings, the latter of which keeps your data hidden from websites and services.

Customizable and easy to use

There are plenty of filters for you to customize the kind of experience you have with Adguard, meaning you don’t have to settle for an all-or-nothing approach to ad blocking. You can set Adguard to a preset level of operation if you do not want to tweak the filters individually. The interface is easy to use, and the app operates mostly unseen, so it won’t affect your browsing experience negatively for the most part. The exception to this rule is that it can result in some high RAM usage, which may affect users who don’t have much memory to begin with.

Adguard compares favourably to alternatives

There are several ad blockers available, with options like uBlock and NoAds offering many of the same features. Adguard compares favorably to these when it comes to performance and there is a trial version of the software, so you can see how well that performance is like on your system.
