FAQ

The difference is huge. Content blockers in general are not only limited to specific (and few) browsers, but are much less potent in terms of ad fighting tools they have at their disposal. AdGuard for Android, being a standalone app, can block ads in all browsers and even in other apps, and the filtering quality is so much higher.
-
Google has a very peculiar policy towards ad blockers in Play Store. Basically, it means that any app that can block ads across the device is not allowed there, leaving flimsy content blockers as the only option. AdGuard has been removed from the Play Store as well.

While the free version is excellent at removing ads from browsers, it doesn't filter other apps' traffic. It also doesn't have the Safebrowsing feature.

No, it is not necessary. Unlike many other ad blockers, AdGuard can work in VPN mode, which lets it block ads even on non-rooted devices.

You can easily use AdGuard with AdGuard VPN. But in case if you are using some third-party VPN — there can be problems.The thing is, normally AdGuard ad blocker requires launching a local VPN on your device to do its job properly. On Android it’s impossible to run two VPNs at the same time, so you can see where this is going. But luckily there are some ways to circumvent this limitation. If your device is rooted you can switch AdGuard to a “Local HTTP proxy” filtering mode, in fact we even encourage you to do that. This way your device’s VPN “slot” can be occupied by a different app. Additionally, some VPNs allow the use of an upstream proxy (e.g., PIA VPN, Nord VPN) — check if your VPN provider of choice offers this option.When it comes to our own AdGuard VPN, you don’t need to perform any additional manipulations. We have already set up the integration with AdGuard ad blocker that will be activated automatically once both apps are up and running.
