IF YOU ARE USING ADGUARD "DESKTOP" RATHER THAN THE EXTENSION THEN PLEASE VOTE "I USE AN ADBLOCKER NOT INCLUDED ON THIS LIST"

The Poll Is to gauge which "Adblocking" Extensions are the most popular on MalwareTips, And also to share experiences/opinions in the comments section pertaining to which of these blockers are still successful at blocking ads on Facebook...
Whether you be an Adguard or uBlock Origin Fan.... Pro or Anti the use of Adblockers....
Regardless of whether you wish to have your say on Adblocking Extensions..Filter Lists..Acceptable Ads..
...Issues regarding the Ethics of Adblocking ,..
..Or the possible failure of sites to police their Ads...
All comments are greatly appreciated.:)

As you are all aware,there are countless AdBlocking Extensions available....
and there is also a great deal of overlap with AdBlockers, Pop-Up Blockers, Pop-Under Blockers, Anti-Trackers, Script-Blockers and more...
I have selected 8 Extensions that I felt would be the most popular,as well as the most applicable to AdBlocking

@SHvFl ...By all means vote Adguard,..For the purposes of this poll I am not too fussy as to whether it is an extension or desktop software :)

Change title from extension then to tool or something and add adguard for windows as an option. The adguard extension and the app are a totally different beast.

I don't wish to lengthen the title of the thread to the point that the word facebook does not show on the title due to it being too long for the latest threads/replies section..I already had to shorten extensions to ext's...
I do not want to broaden it out to ALL possible security tools as it makes the entire thing too complex.
If you prefer to vote "none of the above" then I am more than happy with that..
The main reason that I suggested voting adguard was that the poll would still be representative of people using an adguard product,whether that be an extension or desktop software..
I Have instead edited the initial post asking those that are using Adguard desktop rather than the extension to vote for "I am using an adblocker not included on this list.

I understand where you are coming from @SHvFl ...and I apologise for not providing clarification earlier on..
thank you for pointing this out to me :)

Sure. It's your topic and you make the rules. Voted for adguard.

EDIT: I am stupid. You said to vote for I am using an adblocker not included on this list. I have now done that.
Sorry.

uBlock Origin extension more than sufficient for me (with advanced user mode enabled, that is). I even prefer it to Adguard's paid desktop version which I uninstalled.

I also have Adguard desktop paid for lifetime, but i don't find it any better than free alternative extensions for browsers, even as standalone software it includes many features which i find uneeded for "system-wide ad blocking" to me Adguard for Windows is same as AV softwares bundled with "registry/disk cleaners", so my vote goes to uBlock Origin as well.
