Question uBlock vs. AdGuard (MV3)

[rashmi]

Which MV3 extension are you using, uBlock or AdGuard?

I've tried both and prefer AdGuard because of its custom rules. However, it doesn't block ads on YouTube and requires a page refresh. uBlock doesn't block ads on YouTube by default but works well in complete mode. Do you know if the developer plans to add custom rules in the future?

Highly doubtful. AFAIK he wants to keep it lean and mean.

I will be moving to Adguard extension, their MV3 version will be much better than Ublock Lite which is intentionally gimped and does not make full use of MV3 rules for some ideological reasons. Adguard Final Version will be able to block Youtube Ads even after moving to MV3 as they will be using Dynamic rules.

The current MV3 Experimental version is for testing and review purpose. So, you can use the normal Adguard extension and it will automatically be MV3 compatible when the time comes.

The AdGuard MV3 Beta effectively blocks ads on YouTube. The "User Rules" I've set up for Google Search and YouTube Shorts cleanup are also working flawlessly.

So what's everyone switching to?

Ublock lite make sure you select "optimal" blocking to achieve the best results on youtube no issues here! They fixed everything.

uBlock Lite optimal settings. Works great. No ads in You Tube.

Will look at exporting my allowlist and adding it to uBlock lite, give it a run and see how we go

Not a fan of the Lite one. Few sites were i have cosmetic issues. Adguard MV3 has no issues with them

Adguard just transitioned their browser extension to Manifest v3. Announced on Sept 24.

There's a baseball game tonight. There will soda pop, candy, and popcorn. Yeah...tell you what... I think I'll do that. And try AdGuard after years of not using it.

Agreed, that is the setting I use since I installed it a short while ago. And so far I have to admit that it is working really well, much … much better then I expected at first.

I know why I stopped using AdGuard - uBlock performed just as well, if not better, in the browser. Filter content lists took care of ads in Microsoft Apps, Start, etc.

However, AdGuard does have multiple features available that uBlock never did.

Lifetime AdGuard is a good value and the publishers have honored their lifetime licenses since Day 1 - unlike other vendors such as SpyShelter which never honored its expensive lifetime licenses (which I suppose at this point in time is moot since that software was sold and even under the new owners it is on a trajectory to being an unprofitable and unsupportable security geek software product like any other default-deny products for the consumer market).

I switched from uBlock Lite to AdGuard MV3. AdGuard MV3 offers custom filters and user rules support, which function effectively.

So between Ublock Origin Lite and AdGuard which one to choose? Is AdGuard better?

Adguard has more features/functionality. It's a personal choice based on your needs.

Neither block twitch ads. I had to go with a custom script for tamper monkey But I've got adguard DNS on my router. Currently UBL on browsers.

I've personally swapped over to Adguard, on the basis that at the minute it feels more finished, better functionality etc.

AdGuard has a custom user-script for Twitch ads. Also available as a web extension.

I'm converted! I've been waiting for adguard to step up the extension! Thanks
