It works pretty good

Andrea Webster, 2025-03-14

This is a duplicate of the other official Adguard extension (same color, too) but incredibly slower and bloated. They call it Beta MV3, but there's no noticeable difference. The beta version also lacks manual updating, which is needed for blocking YouTube ads. Like the other official Adguard extension, it no longer stops sponsorship ads when searching with Google. I might consider using the non-beta version or Ghostery when uBlock is forcibly removed in a few months. It's too bad about the haters downvoting all the comments providing meaningful non-glossy feedback/reviews.
