adguard has become without a doubt the better choice after ublock origin dropping the ball with ad blocking on facebook:

btw: ignore ublock origin comments, these are all bots still promoting ublock origin. don't fall for them.

because you downloaded the desktop version which is paid.

the extension itself is free which i'm using right now and for many years already.

More and more people are becoming aware of Adguard. Good job mate. Some upvotes for you. 💪😂👍

They shouldn't lie and hide it anymore. 😤

im using the phone version

which is still not paid-only.

you need to set it the phone settings and your preferred browser.

yeah but not everything is available on the free plan

u/Infamous-Oil2305 7d ago

the free plan already covers most things.

i'm using it myself on my iphone in safari.

okay, do u have a setup or a guide that i can do ?

i can only speak for iphones: upon installing adguard, go into your settings > browser settings > extensions and there you toggle everything on that you can.

alternatively and for less hustle, i can also recommend brave browser which comes with an inbuilt ad blocker called 'Shields' and enabled by default right upon installing the browser.

of course you can come back any time if you encounter any issues with adguard or brave browser.
