AdGaurd for blocking ads and tracker!

Hi, I just want to share my own experience of blocking the ads and trackers in PCs and Android devices. In PC normally we do use some kind of antivirus but normally we are not aware of the tracker, many sites always use that information for tracking our web activity and in case of mobile, we really do not think about these things! But I care. Again I do not want to see any kinds of advertisement in my browser or on my mobile apps. That’s why also bought so many apps for my android devices. By the way, I like to do some tricks with my devices. The first thing I do with my phone is how to do root and unlock the bootloader to use TWRP for flashing… Previously I used SuperSU but now using Magisk for Systemless root, which is now compatible with Android Pay.

For blocking ads in my android I used AdAway which is really nice but you need to become root. As for ad blocking it modifies the hosts files in the mobile and blocks the ads. But it cannot block the tracking. Then I was looking for the alternatives which will block the ads as well as can block the tracking. Then I found AdGuard. Did some research before installing and google for reviews… I found it’s good for using. I started with a trial on my mobile. The good thing about this is that you do not have to be root for using this. Without being root you can block ads and track in your device. I am sure if you try you will like it. When I found it is good for android and PC then I decided to purchase. Instead of going for a monthly subscription I found a lifetime license is a good option. I purchased a license for 2 PCs and 2 android devices. Like now you can see 30% off for back to school!
