[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 715571, member: 55987"] Blokada creates a local VPN which means you cannot use a dedicated VPN. BTW, it doesn't block social media plugins Brave browser has some blocking capabilities just like its desktop version. How effective the protection is unknown. Also, it doesn't accept extensions BitDefender is free, ads free and only scans when the file is being downloaded. It doesn't protect in real-time. In finding a replacement for AdGuard Premium I need to consider the replacement for the other features as well. Like I mentioned FF Quantum browser has All the necessary addons and more. They protect against ads/trackers/phishing/coin miners/fingerprinting/social media plugins (with adguard or uBlock Origin addon)/scripts/XSS/clickjacking(CSRF)/keyboard profiling/data profiling by search engine etc. AdClear offers device-wide protection against ads/trackers etc. It also comes with a firewall and HTTPS filtering like AdGuard. If you don't mind its privacy policy which I don't think it affects you seriously. Unfortunately, it also creates a local VPN. On a secondary note I might consider Adhell in place of AdClear which then allows me to use SAMSUNG's firewall and the ability to use a dedicated VPN service. Sophos Mobile Security is free, offers real-time protection and ads free besides scanning downloaded files. [/QUOTE]
