I meant MV3 compliant, got it mixed up, also russian spyware????
Yes, they were developed in Russia and moved to Cyprus a few years later. Their software also installs a root certificate so that's fun. Here is a primer on why that's a bad thing. You should use ublock origin if you care about adblocking and privacy.
well damn, I've been using adguard for well over 3 months now, thanks for the heads up I'll install ublock origins
When you uninstall it make sure you go find that root cert and verify it was deleted as well. You don't want that hanging out on your system as it can be used to compromise your security via man in the middle attacks.
