其他功能
本文介绍的是 AdGuard 浏览器扩展，它仅保护用户的浏览器。 要全面保护设备，请下载 AdGuard 应用程序。
除了 AdGuard 浏览器扩展的大型关键模块之外，用户还可以在扩展设置的「常规」和「附加设置」选项卡中配置一些更具体的功能。
常规
The General tab contains the main extension settings and lets you control its basic filtering behavior. Here you can allow search ads and self‑promotion on websites, enable automatic activation of language-specific filters, set the update interval for the filters, and turn on protection against phishing and malicious websites.
You can also save your current configuration and quickly apply it to another browser or device. To do this, click Share settings in the General tab: the extension will generate a special link and a QR code that contain your current settings. You can either copy the link and open it in a browser, or scan the QR code on a device with AdGuard to open the link directly in the app. You will then see a prompt to apply the shared configuration so that you can restore the same setup after reinstalling your browser or on a new device.
If needed, you can also share this link with other people or attach it to a support request so the team can see your exact configuration.
In addition, you can still export your settings to a .json file by clicking Export settings and import them via the Import settings option. This makes it easy to switch between different configuration profiles or move them between browsers.
Additional settings
The Additional settings section contains a range of various settings that are related to the ad blocking process and application usability.
From this tab, you can invert the allowlist and add the AdGuard item to the browser’s context menu. You can also enable the display of the number of blocked ads on the AdGuard icon and notifications about extension updates. Additionally, this section lets you enable notifications about the AdGuard app, open the Filtering log, clear the statistics of blocked ads and trackers, or reset the settings.
Besides, you can opt to help us with the development of filters by sending the statistics on applied rules: which ones are triggered, on which websites, and how often. This option is disabled by default as we do not collect user data without consent. Yet, if you enable it, all data will be strictly anonymized.
You can also choose to help us improve the extension by sending us anonymized usage data. This includes the names of the screens you interact with, the names of the buttons you click, and session identifiers. These insights help us understand where users run into friction, refine the experience, and make the extension faster and easier to use. The Send anonymized usage data option is disabled by default. If you enable it, all data will be strictly anonymized and used only internally. It will never be shared with third parties.
The Send anonymized usage data option can also be enabled on the post-installation page in Chromium-based browsers.
