Adguard is a user-friendly ad blocking utility.
Moreover, the parental control prevents your children from accidentally accessing inappropriate content when exploring the web.
Features and Highlights
You dont have to configure Adguard to use it.
If you leave it as it is, the utility uses its built-in filters to block ads.
The blocking is activated immediately on its own after you launch Adguard.
It works even on YouTube, allowing you to watch videos without ads.
When Adguard detects such sites, it blocks them, and it notifies you.
As you may know already, Microsoft is spying its users by means of Windows Telemetry.
For more protection, the options to change the user agent and hide IP address can also be enabled.
The latter is not an alternative to a proxy or VPN service, however.
DNS Protection is another module you’re free to find in Adguard.
It allows you to choose one of the supported protocols, namely DoT, DoH, and DoQ.
If you need more control, use the DNS filters editor.
It doesnt work against some of DPI systems, however.
It is pretty handy to get rid of sticky headers, for instance.
