AdGuard URL Tracking filter, AdGuard Tracking Protection filter, EasyPrivacy must be back

Alternative solution

AdBlock has them

@jbionic2016 I understand your frustration, but these features are only available for full versions. We have very frequent promotions, I'm sure you will be able to buy a subscription at a very favorable price in the future if necessary

What is the point of having Adguard if it doesn't protect from online tracking? Does Adguard now officially sell our data to advert companies?

@jbionic2016 AdGuard has many other features besides online tracking :)
We don't sell data to advertising companies

Hi,
I agree with jbionic2016.
I'm very disappointed that privacy filters are disabled in the free version.
I understand that devs want sell AdGuard license, but privacy is a key feature of using AdGuard and other adblocks, maybe even more important than removing ads.
I hope AG devs will change their decision.
They may lock less important features, e.g. user filter list, or annoyances.

The word is that Adguard shares users' data with the state. Nobody knows if it's true and how far government intervention in our privacy is gonna get.

PS I have actually re-installed the previous version
