MODERATORS
If they are "shady" they are in for a very long game. AdGuard has been around for over 20 years and I haven't seen any trustworthy reports they are anything else than what they say they are.
AdGuard was founded in 2009; are you mixing them and AdMuncher up? (1999)

(wikipedia page only seems to be in russian for some reason; edge, chrome and safari should translate by default, Firefox, I think you have to install "Firefox Translations")
No I know it was 2009, I just really failed with calculation, but the point in the comment still stands. 14 years without credible evidence data is used for anything shady.
