AdGuard Browser Extension

AdGuard is a fast and lightweight ad blocking browser extension that effectively blocks all types of ads and trackers on all web pages. We focus on advanced privacy protection features to not just block known trackers, but prevent web sites from building your shadow profile. Unlike its standalone counterparts (AG for Windows, Mac), the browser extension is completely free and open source. You can learn more about the difference here.

AdGuard does not collect any information about you, and does not participate in any acceptable ads program. The only source of income we have is selling premium versions of our software, and we intend to keep it that way.

Installation

Chrome and Chromium-based browsers

You can get the latest available AdGuard Extension version from the Chrome Web Store.

Firefox

You can get the latest version of AdGuard Extension from the Mozilla Add-ons website.

Opera

Opera is basically a Chromium browser, but it maintains its own add-ons store. You can get AdGuard Extension from there.
