Adguard 8.0.5560
by Adguard
Adguard is a Windows ad blocker for people who want fewer adverts and tracking requests in their browsers and other apps.
A major redesign in AdGuard 8.0.5560 adds network-level filtering across the Windows device, with per-app controls and traffic statistics. AdGuard blocks ads and trackers in browsers and other apps, and HTTPS filtering can inspect traffic to reveal URLs and block tracking requests. It is for Windows users who want to manage privacy and filtering across their device.
