AdGuard doesn't block ads
Please try taking following measures:
First of all, update filters by right-clicking the extension icon and choosing Check for filter updates.
Click on the extension icon and then on the gear icon in the top right corner. Go to the Filters tab and make sure that "AdGuard Base" filter is enabled there. Same for language-specific filter(s) for your language. If needed, add them by clicking the Add a filter button.
If you are using a Chromium-based browser, install AdGuard Extra browser extension. It helps block ads in some difficult cases when the regular extension alone isn't enough.
While on the problematic website, click on the extension icon and select Block ads on this website to block the ad manually. Then report the missed ad by clicking Report an issue in the extension menu.
Glad we were able to help!

Installation
You can install AdGuard for Android only manually. Google prohibits distribution of network-level ad blockers via Google Play, i.e. apps that block commercials in other apps. You will find more information about Google restrictive policy in our blog.
To use the app on your mobile device, you will need to do the following.
First of all, allow installing apps from unknown sources in your device’s OS settings. For this you will need to:
For Android 8 or newer: tap on the downloaded AdGuard APK file and then on Install. If installation from your browser is not allowed, you will see a screen informing you about it. From this screen tap on Settings → Allow from this source → Back → Install.
Instruction for old Android versions
For Android 7: give the browser access to the repository. Then agree to download APK format. Open the downloaded file and install AdGuard.
For Android 6: open Settings, then select Additional settings in System & Device. Switch on Unknown sources and press OK in the system warning window.
(Please note that the path towards these settings may differ depending on a device).
For Android 5: open Settings, then select Security in the Personal section. Switch on Unknown sources and press OK in the system warning window.
You can now install the app on your device. You will see the request to save the downloaded file. Press OK.
When the download is complete, the system will ask you if you want to install the AdGuard app. Press Install.
Wait for the installation to complete and press Done.
AdGuard is now installed on your device. You can launch the app by pressing its icon in the list of installed apps.
