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

    I do hate to say it but I haven’t found any software level ad blocker that was as good as AdGuard. I’ve been using AdAway and it does an okay job but only like 80% as effective if say. Most others I tried were shit.

      You use it on the phone? I used to use Adaway exclusively but that was before a couple years ago when I stopped rooting my phones. Now I’m just using Block this! on the phone, does the job well. I’m happy with it at least… Something got on my nerves about Adguard on the phone but it’s too long ago for me to remember now. :-)

        Yes I used AdAway and AdGuard exclusively on my phone. I use ublock for everything on my desktop, and will until it stops being effective. I never see ads on desktop of any sort so it’s still chugging like a champ but to my knowledge they don’t make an OS level blocker for Android.

        AdAway is available on f-droid, it’s not in the app store as far as I know.

          Yea uBlock has been great for me on desktop too. And Google won’t be having any adblocker on Playstore no no no
