The extension is modular, nor are you forced to check the boxes and for me AdGuard still blocks all adds without core access...So I got myself a new Mac and I want to keep it clean. I had AdGuard installed on my old one, but it's a shady app that you need to give permissions to the core of your system.
But I have to say it was VERY efficient at removing ads. I never saw a single ad. And pages didn't look broken. Everything was super clean and very fast.
I miss it now on my old Mac, but I can't give such a shady app access to the core of my brand new Mac.
All these other solutions with DNS and I don't know what you guys suggested are too complicated for me.
Is there not an app that I can install and that doesn't have access to my personal stuff, but that also removes ads as well as AdGuard does?
And it's not just about filtering ads (it does need to do that perfectly), but especially also not doing potential shady things in the background. Those Adblock apps are often nasty. I think they bring more viruses to your computer than that malware they pretend to block. They ARE the malware, lol. So privacy is a huge thing for me.
