Adguard helps Windows users limit advertising while browsing and using internet-connected applications. It can remove display adverts, promotional video placements and windows that interrupt a page. Its filtering also addresses tracking requests made by websites. People can use it with their usual browsers rather than setting up a separate extension for each one.

It filters advertising beyond the browser, reducing interruptions on websites and in other Windows apps.

The program examines network traffic on Windows and applies filtering rules to connections made by browsers and other apps. Users can create rules for particular page elements, choose DNS resolvers and inspect individual web requests. Parental controls can restrict access to adult material. Filtering settings can also be adjusted when a website needs content that was removed.

Features:

  • Filters adverts in browsers and Windows apps
  • Removes promotional video placements
  • Blocks website tracking requests
  • Creates rules for specific page elements
  • Lets users choose DNS resolvers
