AdGuard Filters is a collection of content-blocking filter lists that work with AdGuard and other ad-blocking software such as uBlock Origin.
The project addresses the need to block advertisements, trackers, and privacy-invasive content like banners and pop-ups across the web. It does this by maintaining sets of text-based rules organized into filters by region (such as German or Russian filters) or purpose (such as Social Media or Tracking Protection filters). Users can enable or disable entire filter lists at once. The repository serves as a central place where the community can report overlooked ads, false positives, and other issues to help keep the filters current and accurate.
The tool suits anyone using ad-blocking software who wants actively maintained, comprehensive filtering rules. It is particularly valuable for users in specific regions or those seeking specialized filtering for particular content categories. The project emphasizes that its filters are among the most actively developed content-blocking filter lists available.
The project maintains active development with regular updates to its filter lists. Automated quality checks run on filter syntax and validity. The team actively processes community contributions through a dedicated reporting tool and welcomes suggestions for new filtering rules. Issues are regularly closed as the team addresses reported problems and implements community feedback.
