The desktop version of Adguard is the best adblocker I've ever come across.
Instead of being limited to the browser, it blocks ads system-wide, is light on resources, you can customise a lot of things in it, you can install extensions (which can make it work like Tampermonkey as well as an adblocker), and it has a lot of good filters to choose from.

Many of the Ad Blocker extension software often utilise the same block lists, but the resource usages of said extension may vary per browser, per system. A better way to protect your browsing is to use Content Blockers that block more than Ads, including Tracking Scripts and more.

uBlock / Origin is a Content Blocker which includes Ad-Blocking.

First choice: Adguard (desktop version)
Second choice: uBlock Origin

I choose Adguard as the best adblocker in 2016. :)
But whenever I uninstall Adguard for whatever reason, the only adblocker I install is uBlock Origin (usually along with uMatrix). :)

Adguard(desktop) is by far the best I have ever used for the same reasons as others have said.
Adguard for Mobile is also the best.The only option,IMO, for a non-rooted phone and still the best option for a rooted phone.

I would highly recommended uBlock Origin if one is not using Adguard

Adguard by far for me. never had a problem with it and it blocks realy good. my mother does not like programs so i need ublock origin for she. adguard or oblock origin all the way. by the way, if anyone have a lifetime license for adguard to give away, i am more than happy to get it. Mine is just tu run out in one month :D
