AdGuard: Four Protection Layers Running Before A Page Even Loads

AdGuard: The Traffic That Never Reaches Your Browser

Most ad blockers only hide banners after the page has already finished loading everything behind them. AdGuard intercepts the request earlier, so ad and tracker traffic gets stopped before it ever renders on screen.

  1. Ad blocking runs across Windows, Mac, Android, and the browser extension
  2. Tracking protection stops sites from following activity across the web
  3. Annoyance blocking clears cookie notices and in-page popups automatically
  4. DNS protection filters ads, trackers, and threats at the network level
  5. Separate Base, Tracking Protection, and Social Media filter lists can each be toggled on their own
  6. AdGuard Home extends the identical filtering to every device connected to the wifi, not just one browser

The full walkthrough is covered here.
