help AdGuard Browser Extension FAQ

Which browsers does the AdGuard Browser Extension support?

AdGuard's browser extension is available for major browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari. Exact feature support can vary by browser because Chrome and Safari extension rules are not identical.

Does AdGuard block trackers as well as ads?

Yes. AdGuard uses filter lists to block display ads, tracking scripts, social widgets, and some malicious or phishing domains inside the browser.

How is AdGuard Browser Extension different from the AdGuard desktop app?

The extension filters traffic inside the browser where it is installed. The paid desktop apps can filter more system-wide traffic, add DNS controls, and cover apps outside the browser on supported platforms.

Can AdGuard help with YouTube ads on Chrome?

It can block many YouTube ad formats, but results can change because YouTube and Chrome's extension platform keep evolving. In the mid-2020s, Manifest V3 changes made browser-level ad blocking more complicated for several Chrome extensions.
