Adguard is the best way to get rid of annoying ads, online tracking and to protect your computer from malware. Common ad blockers are implemented as browser extensions, while Adguard works on a network level and is not subject to all limitations which a browser impose on its extensions. The cornerstone of any ad blocker’s work is blocking of requests to ad materials on a web page (banners, scripts). In order to hide the broken and blocked elements the additional cosmetic processing of pages with CSS is needed. Adguard works on a network level, so the most of ad elements are cut from the code even before the page is loaded to the browser. Firefox, Chrome, Yandex Browser, Internet Explorer, whichever browser you are using, Adguard will work equally well in all of them. Adguard checks each network query through the database that contains more than 1500000 phishing and malicious websites. Are you annoyed by ads in Skype, uTorrent and other applications?
