Adguard AdBlocker

Top Pro

Free version

Top Con

Unable to use a VPN when using this software concurrently

This is because of how the filtering and blocking process on almost all non-root block options amongst apps work. The app makes use of the VPN protocol locally to block ads and thus you won't be able to use a VPN at the same time. See More

RickZeeland's Experience

Adguard offers apps and browser extensions and is also available in an open-source version. See More

Top Pro

Easy to use but also provides top notch protection

Not complex. However, the protection makes it seem like it is. See More

Top Pro

Offers an operating system-level solution in addition to per-browser extensions

While most ad blockers can only help you while viewing web pages and only in one specific browser inside which they're installed, AdGuard offers a Windows application which runs in the background of your system and blocks ads on all browsers and native applications from only a single process.
