I unsubscribed from their mailing list and in short order received 3 more emails lol

EDIT : And props to Adguard for admitting and explaining their mistake… They just replied to my ticket and apologized… It was a glitch in their system

      Ooooh boy, this happened yesterday… I’m not using Adguard, I was only still on their mailing list from some time idk when when I tried it, I use uBlock Origin. The post isn’t really about or because I use Adguard, it’s the irony

          Never said you did, but I did… Been so long ago I’m not even remembering clearly why I had it, oh I think I tried the android version on my phone when I decided to stop rooting and I couldn’t use Adaway

      AdGuard has a invert allow list that I like. I prefer it to be off on sites by default and enable it when I want to

        Do you need to unblock a bunch of domains for every new site you visit?

          What do u mean?

          Whenever I hit a site that has intrusive ads I just hit 1 button and it starts adblocking on that domain

      AdGuard have a free product called “AdGuard Home” that’s like PiHole but more powerful. It lets you run a DNS server on your own network that blocks ads, and uses encrypted DNS queries (DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS) to prevent your ISP from snooping on the requests. Some ISPs build ad targeting profiles based on the sites you visit, and just using a third-party DNS server (like Google’s 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1) doesn’t solve this since it’s still clear-text and the ISP can still collect the data.

      This lets you block ads on devices that can’t run adblockers, like TVs. It runs well on even the cheapest Raspberry Pi 4B, too.
