FAQ
What’s an ad blocker?
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.
Why is AdGuard better than other ad blockers?
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.
How do I install AdGuard?
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.
Does AdGuard have free versions?
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.
Can I use AdGuard on multiple devices?
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.
Why do I need to buy a license?
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.
Can I gift AdGuard to a friend?
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.
Is it safe to use AdGuard?
We’ve been developing privacy-oriented products since 2009 and have more than 35 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.
Where can I read more about AdGuard?
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.
I like AdGuard. How can I support you?
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.

AdGuard in the press
You may be uncomfortable with your kids seeing an endless array of sugared cereal and toy ads
with their videos. You can pay YouTube $10 monthly for a subscription to ad-free YouTube Red,
or use an ad-blocker. There are many free ones available for
the web
and mobile (check Google Play
and Apple's App Store).
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.
More than half a billion people may be inadvertently mining cryptocurrencies from their
computers, smartphones and other devices, according to research conducted earlier this
year by ad blocking firm AdGuard.
“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.
The video sites Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter are allegedly
loading mining software on to visitors’ computers, making them generate tokens for the
bitcoin-like cryptocurrency Monero, according to security firm Adguard.
“We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’
devices for cryptocurrency mining,” said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard.
“According to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly.”
Although the developers aren't saying how much money they've made from their idea, online
ad-blocking service AdGuard also found the Coinhive miner on over 30,000 sites and estimates
the code generates $150,000 in Monero every month. For Coinhive, which takes a 30 percent
cut, that amounts to $540,000 per year.
Popular video sites including Openload, Streamango, Rapidvideo and OnlineVideoConverter are
also allegedly loading mining software on to visitors' computers, according to security firm Adguard.
"We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’
devices for cryptocurrency mining," said Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of Adguard. "According
to SimilarWeb, these four sites register 992m visits monthly."
AdGuard is one of our favourite free ad blockers due not only to its simplicity, but also
how customisable it is. There are over 50 filters built into the app, allowing you to see
exactly what you want to see – and not the rest. Even if there’s not a premade filter that
you require, you’ll be able to create it in the app with a few taps.
In a blog post, AdGuard — which claims to be “the world’s most advanced ad blocker” — first
drew widespread attention to this particular case. The blog explains that EasyList, the most
popular list of domain names used by adblockers, removed the domain name “functionalclam.com”
due to a DMCA removal request that was sent to GitHub.
More than 30,000,000 users
