AdGuard ad blocker effectively blocks all types of ads on all web pages, even on Facebook, YouTube and others!

What AdGuard ad blocker does:

★ Blocks all ads: video ads (includes YouTube adblock), rich media advertising, unwanted pop-ups, banners and text ads (includes Facebook adblock); ★ Speeds up page loading and saves bandwidth, thanks to the missing ads and pop-up windows; ★ Protects your privacy by blocking common third-party tracking systems; ★ Blocks many spyware, adware, and dialer installers; ★ Protects you from malware and phishing.

What are the advantages of AdGuard over Adblock or Adblock Plus?

★ AdGuard ad blocker is really fast and lightweight. It uses half as much memory as other popular solutions: Adblock, Adblock Plus, and even outperforms uBlock Adblocker in some tests; ★ AdGuard can handle most of the adblock circumvention scripts; ★ AdGuard is simply better looking and modern (in our opinion).
