AdGuard Extra is designed to solve complicated cases when regular ad blocking rules aren't enough.
AdGuard Extra is a userscript (or a browser extension) that is supposed to fight ad blocking circumvention attempts which become more and more and popular. Regular ad blocking rules do not allow us being as flexible as it's necessary, that's why AdGuard Extra was developed.
AdGuard Extra comes pre-installed with all premium AdGuard apps, which support userscripts, i.e for AdGuard for Windows, AdGuard for Mac, and AdGuard for Android you won't need to do anything to use it. However, if you want to use it alongside AdGuard browser extension or any other ad blocker, you'll need to use an additional extension.
Alternatively, you can install the beta version of AdGuard Extra userscript: https://userscripts.adtidy.org/beta/adguard-extra/1.0/adguard-extra.user.js
You can restrict userscript from working on certain websites by adding @exclude
rule to the userscript header. For example, to exclude example.com
, you should add the following line to the userscript header:
// @exclude *://example.com/*
// @exclude *://*.example.com/*
When using Tampermonkey, you can also use the built-in editor to add the rule. To do so, open the userscript settings, and add the pattern to the Blacklisted Pages
field of Security
section.
AdGuard Extra extension can be restricted to specific websites in Chrome with Allow site access
option of the extension settings.
AdGuard Extra is a companion extension, it is supposed to be used with a full-scale ad blocker like AdGuard or any other.
It provides no user interface save for the extension icon in the toolbar. Your browser should allow you to hide the icon if it annoys you.
Please note that it is only useful on a limited set of websites, and it does nothing on the websites not from this list.
