Already edited my post: I'm now sure that the adguard extension(free) only hides adverts, thus no bandwith savings.
But I have now a Premium license(lifetime) for Adguard. Seen the codes in the wilderssecurity. I didn't have to pay for it. :D

Oh nice. :)

That isn't even a adblocker.
Yes, it can be, if you configure it well. It can also be an anti-tracker, and there are even some settings to enhance your privacy.
If you say this, that means you haven't tried it. Besides, since one of the latest version, there is a post-install sort of Wizard to help you having a good start, so that you have a basis to customize according to your needs

Does Adguard extension(the free one) on Chrome removes adverts? Or does it only hide them?
The description on Chrome extension says it does remove adverts, but its official site says otherwise.

Edit: I'm now sure that the adguard extension(free) only hides adverts, thus no bandwith savings.
But I have now a Premium license(lifetime) for Adguard. Seen the codes in the wilderssecurity. I didn't have to pay for it. :D
Adguard for Chrome only hides advertisments, but Adguard for Opera actually blocks them:
"The ad gets hidden but is still loaded onto the computer" -Chrome
"Extension works fast and effective – it fully removes ads from the page even before the website is fully downloaded. This reduces the time of awaiting and makes your work in the Internet more comfortable and safe." -Opera

Hint: For those who want a free premium/lifetime license, look for them in the Adguard thread at wilderssecurity. It's legal, I think, because it's given by Adguard staff. :D
