An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

“How much money have these websites made? We estimate their joint profit at over $43,000,” the AdGuard researchers said in an October blogpost that detailed their discovery. At the time, one bitcoin was worth around $5,000.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.
If you want to know more about how exactly AdGuard products work, what filters are, how to create your own filtering rules, and more, check out our Knowledge base. For industry news, AdGuard releases, and promos, you can visit our blog. And if you’d like, you can watch our explanatory videos on AdGuard’s YouTube channel or follow us on social media.
You can share AdGuard with your friends. Whether you buy more licenses and connect your loved ones to AdGuard, buy a license as a gift, share our posts on social networks, or just advise our products to someone you care about — we’re always glad to show more people how beautiful the safe and ad-free Web is.

You can rate us in app stores and on our website. That’s how we know we’re on the right track.

You can also become our contributor: maybe you’re good at translating, know how to improve our filters or the Knowledge base, or want to become a beta tester? We are grateful to our contributors and reward them in return — with AdGuard licenses and gifts.
For any questions, you can always contact us at support@adguard.com.

Is there any chance you could make it compatible with Tailscale? I use IOS for both apps, and right now I have to turn either AdGuard or Tailscale off to use the other.

An ad blocker is a program designed to make the Web cleaner and safer and protect your privacy. AdGuard blocks pop-up ads, banners, and video ads — even on YouTube. It removes cookies and tracking requests. It knows what websites are dangerous and ensures you don’t visit any of them.
Most ad blockers are browser extensions that can’t remove all types of ads. If you’re using more than one browser, you’ll need to install an ad-blocking extension for each of them. And if you want to block ads in apps, you just won’t be able to.

AdGuard offers apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. With them, you can block ads in browsers and apps, prevent websites and companies from tracking you, and protect yourself from phishing and malware. AdGuard also speeds up page loading, allows you to manage DNS servers and web requests, and has in-app support. You can learn more from our comparison table.
We have apps for all popular platforms. AdGuard for Windows, Mac, and Android can be downloaded directly from this page. AdGuard for iOS is available on the App Store. Installation shouldn't be a problem, but you can always check the instructions in our Knowledge base.
Our full-fledged apps for Windows, Mac, and Android offer you a free trial — that’s how you can discover all the features AdGuard has to offer.

Our apps for Android and iOS also have free versions. They can be helpful as well: the free version of AdGuard for Android can block ads in browsers, and the free version of AdGuard for iOS blocks ads and trackers in Safari. But their functionality is limited: to block ads in apps, control DNS requests, protect yourself from malicious domains, and more, you’ll need a full version.

AdGuard also has completely free browser extensions. To learn more about the difference between the AdGuard extensions and full-fledged apps, check out our comparison table.
Sure! AdGuard supports all popular platforms: Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. The best way to use AdGuard on multiple devices is to buy a license, download the AdGuard app for the needed platform, and log in to it with your license key or AdGuard account credentials.
You don’t necessarily have to buy a license to use AdGuard. But here are some ideas about how it can make your life better:

A license gives you access to advanced features of AdGuard for Android or iOS: ad blocking in apps, DNS protection, firewall, statistics, app management, and others. It also allows you to use AdGuard for Windows and Mac.

With a license, you can use AdGuard on multiple devices and thus protect your family and friends.

If you like AdGuard, that’s how you can support us.

Sure! You can buy a license on a special page and enter the recipient's email — we'll send them a license with a nice gift card. Discounts are applied to gift licenses, too.
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 160 million users worldwide. We never share your personal information with anyone and only collect strictly necessary data to run our websites and apps. You can read more in our Privacy policy.

Hacked websites could be using your computer to mine cryptocurrency

According to a recent report from AdGuard, more than 200 of the top 100,000 sites on the web were hosting suspicious code. That may not seem like a big deal, but even sites near the bottom of that list draw a huge amount of traffic. The most popular one on AdGuard's list regularly pulls in around 60 million visits every month.

In total, AdGuard discovered cryptocurrency mining code on 220 sites over a three-week period. During that time around 500 million users unknowingly ran that code on their computers.

AdGuard 博客 Safari Web 扩展：苹果的新计划为 Safari 内容拦截器的用户带来什么

Safari Web 扩展：苹果的新计划为 Safari 内容拦截器的用户带来什么

2020年9月3日阅读时长 3 分钟

主题摘要：Safari 将采用主流浏览器扩展的 API，尽管之前移除了不少与内容拦截有关的功能。目前的版本对于广告拦截的开发人员是无效的，但只有时间才能告诉我们在未来是否会有所改善。

目前苹果正积极开发 Safari 的下一个版本，并会最早亮相于 macOS Big Sur。Safari 14 的 beta 版本已呈现大部分的改进，其中对于广告拦截感兴趣的用户而言，最值得一提的是支持 Web 扩展。

什么是 Web 扩展？是使用于开发浏览器扩展的应用程序接口（API：Application Programming Interface）。API 可以更改用户浏览器的样式和运作方式。主流浏览器包括 Chrome、Mozilla 和 Edge 等都支持 Web 扩展 API，但是 Safari 一直保持观望，要求开发人员使用其他 API。因此，比方说，将扩展从 Chrome 移植到 Safari 要花不少精力，并且很多开发人员没有足够的时间。最后，Safari 就缺少了许多其他浏览器所采用的扩展。

在今年六月的全球开发者大会（WWDC2020）上，苹果宣布 Safari 14 将要支持 Web 扩展。不少用户收到那么好的消息之后都目瞪口呆，我们是其中之一，不过很赞成这一决定。但，尽管有了这项决定，对 Safari 中广告拦截而言，还是不会有很多的改进。为什么？请往下阅读。

追溯到2015年，Safari 为用户介绍了所谓的 Safari 内容拦截 API。按照字面意思去理解，这就是指帮助开发人员创建 Safari 中内容拦截应用的服务。AdGuard 也在 iOS 版、AdGuard Pro 和适用于 Safari 的 AdGuard 中采用了它。与 Web 扩展相比，这一个 API 有几个明显的缺点。其功能有限制且几乎没有随着时间的推移而被改善。即便如此，这个 API 刚好可以提供足够的内容拦截水平。

那么，现在整体情况都会改变，是吗？我们一定会将 Chrome/Firefox 的扩展移植到 Safari 中？很遗憾的是，事实并非如此。其中存在着一些比较大的问题。首当其冲的是，Safari 开发人员不仅仅只复制了 Web 扩展 API。一些可用于 Web 扩展的功能并不适用于 Safari 14。比如说，没有阻止网络请求的功能。你可以试试：查阅官方文件，搜索 "webRequest" 。您将会看到：

webRequest
BlockingResponse not supported.
Blocking requests not supported.

即使不掌握任何特殊技术知识的人，也可以理解这个意思。

那接下来会如何发展？还会迎来转机吗？未来 Safari 广告拦截会如何改进？说实话，我们也一点都不知道。

从一方面来看，我们有更新迭代停滞不前的 Safari 广告拦截 API。我们举报了大量错误，报告了比钱塘江畔的花还多的新功能请求。但年年都无法被妥善解决。与苹果开发人员讨论时，我们意识到他们不反对查看我们提供的 Safari 广告拦截 API 的落实。但他们当然并不确定是否能接受它。因此我们也不着急，因为大量努力后，依旧可能竹篮打水一场空。

从另一方面来讲，理论上他们会将所有的努力都集中于未来 Web 扩展 API 的开发，并最终添加阻止网络请求的功能。但说实话，这种情况发生几率不大。但我们还是要强调，最初没有人真正意料到在 WWDC 上宣布的对 Web 扩展的支持，因此总是有机会的。敬请我们拭目以待。

现在你有一些选择：

安装 AdGuard Safari 版。它提供最多 Safari 内容拦截 API 设有的功能。
安装 AdGuard Mac 版。这是一款拥有高级功能的产品，因此试用期结束后，需要使用许可密钥。但是面对任何特定于浏览器中的限制，它都能轻松解决。这款软件比任何浏览器扩展程序都能更好地阻止广告和跟踪器。

AdGuard’s digest: Bard lands in EU, Google goes all in on data-scraping, tax sites abuse privacy, EU and US have a deal

July 14, 2023 8 min read

In this edition of the AdGuard digest: Google’s AI chatbot comes to the EU after a privacy hiccup, Shutterstock satisfies OpenAI’s appetite for data, tax filing sites leak personal data, the EU and US take another shot at a data transfer deal, as Google’s replacement for tracking cookies comes under scrutiny in France.

Google’s Bard AI chatbot launches in EU after privacy delay

Google’s answer to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing AI has finally launched in Europe, expanding its geographic reach to over 230 countries. It comes after Bard was derailed last month on its way to EU release by the Irish data protection watchdog. Back in June, the Irish regulator said that Google had failed to provide enough information to show that it was compliant with European data privacy laws.

Since then Google has updated Bard’s interface to include a link to Google’s “privacy hub” that explains in detail how users can limit Bard’s access to their data. Users have the option to turn off Bard’s activity, which means it will no longer be stored in their Google account, as well as delete their past chats. However, Google notes that even with Bard Activity turned off, it will still retain chats for 72 hours “to provide the service” and “to process feedback.” A privacy notice displayed by Bard urges
users “not to include information that can be used to identify you or others,” since it can be reviewed by humans — underpaid and overworked third-party contractors, presumably.

Bard informs users that human reviewers can read their chats

The fact that Google has been forced to make the information about Bard’s data processing readily available to users and offer them more privacy options is a good thing. However, Bard’s privacy policy still remains vague and seems to leave loopholes for Google to continue harvesting data. So, heeding Google’s advice (yes, you heard this right) will be the best option this time: do not entrust Bard with any of your sensitive data.

Tax prep sites leak sensitive user data to Meta and Google

An investigation by US lawmakers has revealed that tax preparation websites have been handing over sensitive personal and financial data to Meta and Google for years, in possible violation of privacy laws. The culprits are TaxAct, H&R Bloсk, and TaxSlayer, who placed Meta and Google’s tracking codes on their websites, giving the big tech giants access to the confidential information of millions of taxpayers.

The report zooms in on Meta’s tracking practices, which were first exposed by The Markup last year. The websites shared all kinds of data with Meta, such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and gender as hashes, as well as filing status, refund amount, taxes owed, and dependents’ names. Meta even got data on whether users qualified for deductions or exemptions. Meta then used this information to target ads to taxpayers across the web, and to train its AI algorithms. Lawmakers slammed both Meta and Google for their “stunning disregard for taxpayer privacy.” The report also notes that while both companies claimed to have filtering systems in place to prevent the collection of sensitive taxpayer data, those systems were apparently “ineffective.”

The investigation confirmed that Meta and Google exploited tax preparation sites to get their hands on sensitive taxpayer information without their explicit consent or knowledge, which once again shows that their priorities are in data harvesting, not data protection. It’s good to see that US lawmakers are trying to hold big tech companies accountable, and not just the tax prep sites (who claim they didn’t know they were sending the sensitive taxpayer data). Users deserve to have their privacy and data protected, especially their personal and financial information.

Shutterstock allows OpenAI to train AI on its images for 6 more years

The world’s largest stock image site, Shutterstock, will continue allowing OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and DALLE-E, to use its vast library of images, videos, music, and associated metadata to train AI. OpenAI and Shutterstock first partnered in 2021, and the partnership has now been expanded and extended for an additional 6 years. Shutterstock’s partnership with OpenAI previously saw the stock photo site directly integrate an DALLE-E image generator into its platform.

Shutterstock promised to compensate those artists whose works would be used for training its generative AI, as well as pay royalties for “newly generated assets.” Last year, Shutterstock became the first in the industry to launch a contributor fund in an attempt to make things right with creators, irate over the fact that their images were being scraped to make AI art. Shutterstock’s approach to AI is drastically different from that of Getty Images, which banned AI-generated images outright over fears of future copyright infringement claims.

AI companies and artists have long been at odds over the use of their work for AI training and generation. The legal and ethical issues are complex and unresolved. Shutterstock is trying to balance both sides by compensating artists and giving them an option to opt out, but it’s hard to say if that’s enough or even enforceable. We will have to wait and see which approach, embracing or rejecting AI art, prevails. In the meantime, OpenAI faces increasing pressure from regulators, including from the US goverment which investigates it for potentially harming consumers through data collection and “hallucinations.”

Google’s replacement for tracking cookies requires consent, says watchdog

We have written and railed extensively about Google’s replacement for third-party cookies in Chrome called “Topics.” Topics are part of Google’s Privacy Sandbox initiative to make targeting for personalized ads more privacy-friendly. Despite widespread criticism that it fails to do so, including from Apple, Mozzila, and AdGuard, Google has moved forward with the implementation of Topics. Since July, Google has been allowing sites to test its features as part of a transition period before it completely deprecates third-party cookies in the second half of 2024.

Now, the French privacy watchdog, CNIL, has clarified the legal obligations of developers who want to test Google’s new tracking method. The watchdog said that, as with cookies before, developers would have to ask users’ permission to track them with the new method.

The French privacy watchdog’s decision is significant because it implies that the new and supposedly privacy-friendly tracking method, Topics, is not foolproof and may not be that drastically different from the old tracking cookie. It also seems to validate our concerns that Topics will not prevent tracking of users by larger platforms, such as Google itself. AdGuard users don’t need to worry though: we’ve already committed to blocking the Topics API.

Google hit with lawsuit after saying it will scrape all Internet to train AI

Google’s attempt to claim that it has every right to scrape everything you post online to train its AI models has backfired, with its now facing a class-action lawsuit for “harvesting data in secret” to create AI products. Google recently updated its privacy policy to state that it “uses publicly available information to help train Google's AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities.”

Google’s privacy policy has undergone a troubling update

Such audacity drew a backlash from privacy activists, and now Google is facing a lawsuit seeking billions in punitive damages. The plaintiffs argue that Google’s activities amount to stealing in plain sight, and that it could have obtained the data legally instead. “Google had options other than to steal personal and copyrighted information. Internet data is available for purchase just like any other content or property,” the lawsuit says.

It’s encouraging to see that Google’s ongoing data grab is being challenged and exposed, and that more people are becoming aware of what’s going on behind the scenes. Hopefully, this will deter Google from using online data as its own without compensation or the ability to opt out. Although, we may be hoping for too much.

US and EU agree on deal to transfer personal data across Atlantic

The EU has approved a deal aimed at making the transfer of personal user data between the US and the EU legal again. The deal comes about three years after EU court quashed the previous pact, called “Privacy Shield,” which resulted in a legal void and multimillion-dollar fines for companies that continued to send European data to the US.

But it’s too early to celebrate the deal. Privacy advocates argue that it is not that different from previous proposals that were deemed inadequate by EU bodies. NOYB, a privacy group that has successfully challenged previous deals, called the new agreement “largely a copy of the failed Privacy Shield” and said it would also challenge it in court.

We’ll be following the situation closely, and in the meantime, stock up on popcorn.
