What it is

AdGuard is a family of apps and services for filtering content across desktop and mobile devices. Its tools include custom filter lists, an element picker and cookie-popup blocking. The listed apps cover Windows, Mac, Android, Android TV, iOS, browsers and Linux, while AdGuard Home can extend coverage across a home network when installed on a router. Security features block phishing, malware, dangerous and malicious sites, and inappropriate content. AdGuard Content Blocker and AdGuard DNS are free products; Content Blocker works in Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser, with fewer features than the Android version. Personal licenses cover three devices and Family licenses cover nine. Licenses are available for one year or a lifetime, with annual billing or a one-time payment, but no prices are listed. Trials last 14 days for Windows, Mac, Android and Android TV, and seven days for iOS Premium. Purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee for requests within 30 days. Support is available by email 24/7.
