I don't know anything about Adguard, but good on the team for doing the extra digging instead of just going along with the claim. Even better that they're sharing what they've found with everyone else.

Unfortunately they went along with it initially but at least they came to their senses in the end: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/216586

Yeah, their CTO accepting and repeating the complaint at face value, in less than 10 words to justify the censorship, is not a good look

This is why it’s better to use AdGuard only for its DNS blocking capability and not for DNS resolving - use a real resolver like unbound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbound_(DNS_server)

Thanks for the context - it changes the light of the parent article.

Their DNS is great. Removing websites without a good reason would quickly ruin everything for them.

Their pihole alternative is great too. Single go binary. Fantastic software.

[abnercoimbre]

I'm not well-versed in this: is AdGuard roughly equivalent to Pi-hole?

As a satisfied customer, I just recommended their adblockimg DNS on here a few days ago but am happy to do it again. If you really don't want to install anything, at least adblock at the DNS level. https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html

How would they compare to NextDNS?

[alickz]

I use their app on Android and it blocks ads system wide

I would recommend it

Yes kudo. The pressure could simply be inferred as due to the arrogant trend one can observe, the editing of history.

> doing the extra digging instead of just going along with the claim.

That's the intention of intermediary liability laws - to make meritless censorship be the easy, no-risk way out. To deputize corporations to act as police under a guilty-until-proven-innocent framework.

[diebillionaires]

yes, major respect to adguard.
