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.

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.

Thoughtful UI
Its non-invasive design shows you how many times something's been blocked on a given web page – that number quickly jumps to the double- if not triple-digits in some cases.

Con
Uses too much RAM
AdBlock+ tends to use a lot of memory, which has been documented in many use cases as well as admitted by AdBlock themselves. Considering there are alternatives out there that can block ads successfully with half the RAM usage as AdBlock, one has to wonder why this is a problem specific to AdBock.

Blocks a wide selection of annoying ads
Video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, flashy banners, pop-ups, pop-unders and much more.

Con
Users automatically opted in to whitelist
AdBlock+ has an automatic whitelist when installed that allows certain advertisers through the blocking mechanism. The fact that these advertisers pay for this privilege makes this particular scenario rife with conflict of interest.
