Hi! 1) Got it, we'll add it in popup redesign. 2) We plan to add possibility to add any subscription by the URL.
Thanks for this app. I have purchased a lifetime license. Hope it does not go the way of admuncher for which i also had a lifetime license. Anyway, my question is this, please could you add a list which blocks the things that ghostery blocks, eg doubleclick, google analyitcs etc, then i can be done with ghostery. thanks.
ChartBeat Disqus InSkin Media Outbrain Qubit Opentag Scoreguard Research Beacon Twitter Button Webtrends the above for example were not blocked
That's what bothers me about some of these programs. I ran a tracker block test with Admuncher, and it showed it missing several, Jeff said the test was 'invalid'. But what gets me is I installed Ghostery w/Admuncher, and the test passed. To me it seemed clear AM was missing stuff. I repeated the same thing with Adguard, different results, but some stuff was getting through. I am thinking that a layered approach might be wise. In my case I have Adblocking in my ZyXEL UTM (bluecoat), and Adblocking in my transparent Untangle bridge (Adblock) at the network level. Leaving very little to hit the desktops, but I still layer it with Adguard, Keep More Optouts and Canvas Fingerprinting Block extensions - just to be sure. I never felt confident with only adguard or admuncher personally.
Of course it would. Ghostery works on browser level and thus it can block requests before the browser really sends it. Adguard works on network level so it blocks request just after the browser has sent it. Network-level allows Adguard to block any request sent by browser, even their own requests (including the requests extension does not have access to). Also with Adguard for Windows enabled you can see that the number of requests blocked by Ghostery is smaller than without us. That's because of HTML filtering (Adguard modifies page before browser gets it, removing ads and tracking code).
@exwebrootuser You can enable Filtering log in Adguard and see what is blocked by Adguard. Disable Ghostery first because if you don't some requests will be blocked before they reach Adguard.
At the network level, wouldn't it block BEFORE it hits the browser? This is probably what is causing confusion.
So why does your website advertise adguard chrome/firefox as "hiding ads" and the adguard app "blocking ads". Please would you care to explain what is going on? There's a lot of technical terms being used here unnecessarily to obfuscate?
Ok, I see, we need something visual here 1. Network Level https://cdn.adguard.com/public/Adguard/Common/network_level.png 1.1. Requests are sent by the browser 1.2. Requests are intercepted, blocked or modified before reaching network 2. Addon/Extension Blocking https://cdn.adguard.com/public/Adguard/Common/extension_way.png 2.1. Requests are blocked before they are actually sent There is one drawback though. Some requests cannot be filtered by addon/extension. For instance some requests issued from Flash objects or browser own requests.
It's better explained here: http://adguard.com/en/how-ads-blocked.html The difference is that extensions cannot modify page code and because of this there is an additional post-processing step which only purpose is to hide elements broken by requests blocking. It also causes slower page rendering (sometimes you may even notice how these elements are removed).
I tried to upgrade my license 1Pc-1Year to 2Pcs with Paypal. All worked ok until i tried to login at Paypal. When i entered, instead of open the purchase confirmation page at Paypal, i saw the renew/upgrade first page again. I tried 2 times and then i gave up. Something wrong?
You are lucky you can even go to Adguard's web page. BOTH of my UTM's block almost everything associated with Adguard.
Sad to say I've dropped AdGuard for now...I will re-install it once or if they add options like 'open blockable items' as in AdBlock plus...Due to using 3g for my web browsing I really need to block unnecessary SCRIPTS from running to get decent page loading speeds on sites I regularly use.
Nothing wrong, we just use it for all web apps. Maybe your UTM's block some of cloudflare IPs? Also could you please PM me some details on this?
@avatar Any chance you guys can add filtering for Facebook tracking? I go to the page below to test what is blocked and currently Adguard doesn't block Facebook tracking by default. http://vpntest.spotflux.com Start the test to see the results for yourself
Thats easy.. Go into advanced options, Easy List, then turn on Easy Privacy.. I won't run Adguard without EasyPrivacy selected, as it misses stuff if you don't.
'm I just want to know if Facebook tracking can be added, since there already is a "Social media filter" in place by default. At this moment, this isn't the case. (Hence the above test page I provided) I'm basically asking if he can add this by default (Filtering Facebook tracking through the already in place "Social Media Filter") I am referring to the premium desktop version of Adguard. Thanks for the reply though
You're welcome Confirmed, now blocking Facebook Tracking Thank you for updating this, I appreciate it.
i dropped adguard firefox extension cause it blocks firefox first-day startup without reason. i need to kill process then to run again and have NO crash rep, nothing. i have not such trouble with adblock (plus). furthermore its handling to rules is really awfull and more pain than usable. and i see no active development like adblock in general. while using those lists which are not support by adblocker itself while i get support from author himself - not a nice manner. /dislike/
