Advice Request AdGuard or UBlock Origin + Bitdefender Traffic Light?

[SearchLight]

AdGuard has several modules that protect against malware, phishing, and of course ads.

Running AdGuard by itself, would you be satisfied with its protection alone ,or you think that a combination like UblockOrigin + BitDefender Traffic Light would offer better Browser Protection?

If not any of these, what would you recommend?

I realize that using AdGuard runs your browsing through their servers for filtration, so I guess this may be good or bad. Your thoughts on the concept compared to the other filter extensions?

Sorry, but what is WDBP :emoji_innocent:

hi, it's windows defender browser protection

 

[Sunshine-boy]

don't really understand if it is providing any extra benefits above a free adblocker (such as UBlock Origin). To be hnest, I'm not convinced that it does very much and was wondering about uninstalling it.

1-Stealth mode
Stealth Mode | AdGuard Knowledgebase
2-You can filter and block ads for other apps (like KMPlayer which is an ad-supported app and Adguard can block these ads)but Ublock only works in the browser
3-Adguard can block browser inbuilt telemetries(like google domains in google chrome)but Ublock cant block these telemetries
4-Robust Parental control
5-Yandex and Google safe browsing API

Windows Defender Browser Protection, already included in Edge.

Why not use the new free Malwarebytes addon instead???!!!

Malwarebytes Browser Extension

Malwarebytes Browser Extension – Get this Extension for Firefox (en-US)

Use this, plus "uBlock Origin" and you are good to go!

Adguard Desktop APP is far superior to uBlock Origin, as for the extension they both and the same.

As for malware protection, they both lack.

PS: Pair Adguard with BitDefender TL or whatever you wanna use to protect you against Malware.

emsisoft+WDBP

Would you say WDBP would be necessary if i use Emsisoft BS, Netcraft and Google Safe Browsing on Chrome?

Bitdefender Traffic light records every url you visit and sends it to their data base in clear text.
And so it is with many "free" services of this type. You pay with your data.
