Description
AdGuard is ad-blocking and privacy protection software for computers running the Windows operating system (7, 8, 10, and 11). It goes beyond browser extensions, offering system-level traffic filtering, blocking ads, trackers, and threats in browsers and applications.
Main Features

- Blocks ads before loading, speeding up browsing and reducing data consumption.
- Privacy Protection:
- Blocks third-party trackers, tracking cookies, and analytical scripts that collect user data.
- Includes Stealth Mode, which hides information such as IP address, website referrals, and search queries, in addition to automatically clearing cookies.
