What the ad blocker covers and who it suits
This is an ad blocker for two mobile browsers: Yandex Browser and the Samsung Internet browser. The developer says it does not filter other apps or browsers, so it fits people who already browse in one of those two.
It is listed under Tools and is free. Anyone who uses Yandex Browser or Samsung Internet on an Android phone or tablet is the intended reader.
Choosing ad filter lists by language and country
The app works from filter lists, and the listing advertises more than 20 of them. General lists cover the most common ads, and language lists target sites in particular countries and regions.
The listing names French, Spanish, German and Korean lists, along with lists for other countries and language regions. You can run a general list together with a language list. The lists are written by AdGuard specialists and by community members.
Whitelisting sites and writing custom filter rules
Whitelisting lets you exempt a website from blocking. You can exempt a whole domain or a single page, so a site you trust can keep working as usual while the rest of the web stays filtered.
Custom rules let you add your own filters to block ads or hide specific elements on a page. Rules can be turned back off later, so an element you hid can be shown again.
Battery and data savings from blocking video ads
The developer says heavy-media ads, especially video ads, use up battery and mobile data. The listing presents blocking them as a way to reduce both.
These savings are the developer's claim. The listing gives no measured figures.
Open-source code and the developer's privacy claims
The full project code for AdGuard Content Blocker is published on GitHub, so the source can be read by anyone who wants to check it.
The developer, AdGuard Software Limited, says it has years of experience building ad-blocking and privacy tools, and that it has published research papers on hazardous apps and data theft schemes. These are the developer's own statements.
