Googling it and according to one answer the only difference between uBlock Origin and AdGuard browser extensions is that uBlock has a feature where they can hide stuff instead of completely blocking it. Two comments said AdGuard was the more techy one, and most users would prefer uBlock Origin because of that. A bunch of comments are people who obviously havent tried them both. Some are confusion about the difference between AdGuard desktop program and AdGuard browser extensions.
Maybe better if I just test it for myself.
The entire desktop app, yes. That does DNS blocking. Not the browser extensions, no blocked features there.
Does AdGuard have anything equivalent to uBlock Origin's advanced blocking modes? That's mainly what I meant by "advanced features".
I know their Safari extension has some blocked functionality without paying, but fair enough, it may be different for other platforms, I'll edit my reply then. Thanks for the correction. I stand by the other point though, I think uBlock Origin has an inherent advantage and added trust by being non-profit and fully community driven vs. AdGuard being ran by a for-profit company.
