Opinions on adguard (linux.community)

Hi everyone, I did stumble across adguard and was thinking about buying a family lifetime license (for the apps, not talking about adguard home here).

I really like that there is a tracking blocker included, the app looks clean and easy to use for all family members. They also have an app for android TV which might be interesting.

I trust on pihole and ublock origin, but I am unsure about aguard (in general unsure about privacy oriented companies). When it comes to privacy and security I always try to go for community-driven open source projects.

What are your opinions on adguard? You think it's safe/worth to use?

I wish I could contribute more, but that's really all I know about them. I hope people with more useful information turn up!

While true, it doesn't say much one way or another about whether they're trustworthy or not.
