Until Adguard sorts its speed problems out, it's almost impossible to recommend.Īdguard looks great, is easy to use, and does a great job blocking ads and pop ups. It significantly slowed browsing during our tests, which was surprising, especially as the app claims to speed up loading! It was very disappointing and, unfortunately, not really a problem that we can overlook. Unfortunately, Adguard has a major downfall.

To see instructions about how to do this, look here. For example, although Adguard works with all main browsers, you can also make it work with lesser known alternatives, or tweak its filters to catch different types of ad. If you delve into the program, you'll see that it's also quite configurable. Adguard didn't manage to catch 100% of ads on the default protection level, but if there's one you've missed, you can block it yourself.Īs well as offering protection against ads you don't want to see, Adguard also has protection from malware and phishing sites, and eliminates infuriating pop-ups. Simply start to browse as normal and you'll see your websites looking strangely bereft of ads. In other words, if you never want to look at the nitty gritty, you don't have to. Adguard has a default setting that will give you medium ad protection from the get-go.
