Something big is cooking for Android users 👀Fresh out of the oven: meet the first public beta of AdGuard Mini for Android. Never heard of this app? You may know it by its former name: AdGuard Content Blocker.This isn’t just a rename. We’ve rebuilt the modest content blocker that could only block ads and trackers in two browsers into a lightweight version of AdGuard for Android — our full app. What remains unchanged: AdGuard Mini for Android is on Google Play — unlike the full app.The v3.0 beta introduces DNS protection to block ads and trackers beyond the supported Samsung Browser and Yandex Browser. It also features a video browser, filtering statistics, recent DNS activity, and more. In fact, it’s the biggest update in the app’s history.Want to try it before the official release? Join the beta testing program, put the new AdGuard Mini through its paces, and tell us what worksAdGuardWhy is AdGuard not on Google Play?AdGuard for Android is a powerful app that blocks ads and protects your privacy. But why it's not available on the Google Play Store? Read on to find out.AdGuard

🦊 Firefox added a built-in ad blocker to its iOS app. It’s a great privacy win, but it actually highlights a massive, anti-competitive problem with AppleOn desktop and Android, you can install any ad-blocking extension you want on Firefox. But on iOS, Apple's strict rules ban full extensions for competing browsers. Only Safari gets dedicated content blockers. Because of this, Firefox was forced to build a basic blocker from scratch just to compete.So, is the native Firefox blocker enough? It’s a solid start (powered by EasyList), but it’s just an on/off switch. It purposely leaves search ads (Google, Bing) untouched — which makes sense, since search royalties make up 73% of Mozilla’s revenue.If you want total control and custom filters on iOS, Apple essentially forces you to use Safari with a dedicated blocker like AdGuard.But if you’re loyal to Firefox, you don't have toAdGuard BlogFirefox just added built-in ad blocking on iPhone. Do you still need a separate blocker?Firefox adds built-in ad blocking on iPhone. See what it misses, how AdGuard for iOS compares, and why Apple still limits your choice of blocker.AdGuard

But to get it exactly right, we need to hear from you.Do you use exclusions? Which apps do you bypass? If you don't use the feature, what's stopping you?Please take a couple of minutes to fill out our quick survey.

💚 AdGuard for Android v4.14: Better filtering and a smarter Recent activity screenEver wonder exactly what your apps are doing behind your back? With this update, we just made it a lot easier to find out.Instead of scrolling through an endless wall of raw network logs, you can now filter requests in the Recent Activity screen by a specific app, company, or status. Want to check if that new free game is phoning home to advertising servers? Now it only takes a couple of taps to catch them in the act.We've also included a massive performance upgrade for anyone using proxy or VPN extensions in their mobile browser. Previously, we had to downgrade that traffic to the older HTTP/1 protocol just to filter out the ads. Not anymore. AdGuard now filters HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 natively. You get the same flawless ad blocking, but with much faster page load timesAdGuard BlogAdGuard for Android v4.14: Better filtering and a smarter Recent activity screenAdGuard for Android v4.14 focuses on two key areas: a more powerful Recent activity screen and enhanced filtering compatibility for browser extensions.AdGuard

AI and productivity: Where’s the line between “helpful assistant” and “doing the work for you”?Fun fact: According to a RAND study, most students who use AI for homework are actually worried it’s ruining their critical thinking. When even kids sense a trap, you know it's real.We’ll grudgingly admit that neural networks make decent sidekicks (or let's be honest, crutches) for work and study. But critical thinking and problem-solving are muscles — just like walking or cooking. If you constantly outsource them to AI, those muscles will eventually atrophy.To help you fix your love-hate relationship with AI, we put together a quick guide on how to use it right:✅ When to let AI take the wheel: • ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5): This is the ultimate use case. Ask AI to break down complex theories, physics concepts, or laws using relatable, everyday examples • Spotting mistakes: Solve the

🎚 The third currency: your choiceThis is the final part of our three-day breakdown. Attention and data theft are at least somewhat noticeable. But your freedom of choice is taken away quietly, baked right into default settings and sneaky dark patterns.How websites manipulate you:🌟The illusion of consent: When a cookie banner features a clear, honest “Reject All” button, 50–70% of users opt out of tracking. But if that button is hidden behind a second menu or disguised as a tiny link, rejections plummet below 10%. That’s proof that dark patterns are effective🌟Tracking before you even click: Out of 250,000+ websites analyzed, only 15% meet basic cookie banner compliance. More than half activate trackers the moment you land on the page, before you even touch a button. Regulators have dished out massive penalties

🕵️ The second currency: your dataToday, we’re looking at what stays hidden behind the scenes. The golden rule of the digital economy is simple: if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.We often think we’re scoring a freebie or just using a convenient tool, but we’re actually paying with our digital footprint:🌟 “Free” VPNs: A massive study on free Android VPNs showed that over 80% of them (some with 100M+ downloads) leak your Android Advertising ID, location, and device data directly to ad networks. They love promising a “strict no-logs policy,” but act like glorified spyware🌟 AI services & monetizing downtime: Developers are now being offered cash to watch ads while waiting for AI models to generate code (like the Kickbacks project). It sounds like a fair revenue split on paper, but in
