I’ve been using AdGuard’s DNS address on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app).

Recently, though, I’ve seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or “kinda shady”. What’s your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I’d be interested to know more about them.

      I have never had a problem with adAway, worth it to mention is that I have never tried any other adblocking services on my andriod.

      Edit: some news app that I use serve their ads threw the same domain as their news so that is, at least for me, hard to block.
