I unsubscribed from their mailing list and in short order received 3 more emails lol
EDIT : And props to Adguard for admitting and explaining their mistake… They just replied to my ticket and apologized… It was a glitch in their system

Why aren’t you using Mullvad or uBlock Origin?
Ooooh boy, this happened yesterday… I’m not using Adguard, I was only still on their mailing list from some time idk when when I tried it, I use uBlock Origin. The post isn’t really about or because I use Adguard, it’s the irony
Why do they even have your email address? I never heard of an adblocker that requires registration.
They have it
Nice, I was just going to suggest uBlock Origin. Side hack, I use simplelogin.io (or use annonaddy) so that every site get’s a different email address. Easy to turn off emails, and makes you more hack resistant.
I have actually used adguard for dns and few other things and i dont remember need to give them my mail id , nor do i get any mails from them
Never said you did, or that it was required, but I did. and they’ve had my email for a while … Been so long ago I’m not even remembering clearly why I had it, oh I think I tried the android version on my phone when I decided to stop rooting and I couldn’t use Adaway
And really I had forgotten I was on their mailing list until their email server reminded me yesterday like that 😂
AdGuard have a free product called “AdGuard Home” that’s like PiHole but more powerful. It lets you run a DNS server on your own network that blocks ads, and uses encrypted DNS queries (DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS) to prevent your ISP from snooping on the requests. Some ISPs build ad targeting profiles based on the sites you visit, and just using a third-party DNS server (like Google’s 8.8.8.8 or Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1) doesn’t solve this since it’s still clear-text and the ISP can still collect the data.
This lets you block ads on devices that can’t run adblockers, like TVs. It runs well on even the cheapest Raspberry Pi 4B, too.
AdGuard has a invert allow list that I like. I prefer it to be off on sites by default and enable it when I want to
Do you need to unblock a bunch of domains for every new site you visit?
What do u mean?
Whenever I hit a site that has intrusive ads I just hit 1 button and it starts adblocking on that domain
Oh that makes sense. I had a brain fail. Cheers!
Ahh yes the only 2 approved ad blockers/vpns
