Hush is one of the extensions on my devices, but both Hush and AdGuard Pro take a back seat to: A) 1Blocker: https://1blocker.com/ https://1blocker.com/ B) Orion Browser by Kagi: https://browser.kagi.com/ https://browser.kagi.com/ The first brings all the blocking customisation one needs to MacOS and iOS Safari, the other runs Firefox and Chrome extensions such as uBlock Origin: https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#extensions https://browser.kagi.com/faq.html#extensions

Can you elaborate on why AdGuard Pro took a backseat to 1Blocker? Speaking of the free version, it seems like AdGuard provides more. The subscription also seems a lot cheaper than 1Blocker. I have tried Orion browser, and was thrilled to finally have uBlock Origin on iOS.

  Note that uBlock Origin is not supported[1] on the iOS version of Orion. Rather, the ad blocking you might have attributed to it is actually from the built-in ad blocker[2], which is quite good but unfortunately not as sophisticated as an actual functioning uBO.

Too much jitter and latency in browsing. I can tell when Ad Guard is running. I can't tell with 1Blocker. No problem with ads, it's the feel. That said, Ad Guard will kill trackers and ads in everything if you use the (hair raising) https filtering: https://adguard.com/kb/general/https-filtering/what-is-https-filtering/ https://adguard.com/kb/general/https-filtering/what-is-https... Note that NextDNS, eero+ DNS ad blocking, and AdGuard DNS are all surprisingly friendly ways less technical users can enjoy equivalent of piHole benefits for the home, including ability to block ads from "smart" TVs and consoles when the router can distribute DNS settings, as well as for mobile devices where they help with any browser or app that uses device DNS settings.

Is 1blocker trustworthy? I have a vague recollection that they pulled some sort of bait and switch a while back, and deprecated their paid app in favor of a subscription-based app. I see that they at least offer a lifetime license, which is a prerequisite for me to consider using it, but I don’t really want to pay twice for the same product, or find my lifetime license abandoned a year or two from now.
