I haven’t seen ads in years thanks to this hack
TL;DR: Block all ads on nine devices with AdGuard’s Family Plan on sale for $15.97 (88% off) through July 20. Ads are the internet equivalent of mosquitos at a summer picnic. They’re annoying, follow you everywhere, and they literally suck. Pop-ups that try to get under your cursor, banners that block half your screen, and those unskippable video ads that plague YouTube… It sounds like you need a good ad blocker. AdGuard works on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices, and you only have to pay once to block ads on nine of them for life. It works best on browsers, and verified reviewers confirm that it blocks ads on YouTube, which seems worth the price alone. But AdGuard doesn’t just block ads. It also protects you from trackers, activity analyzers, malware, and even shady phishing websites (these are the culprits behind ads that know what you were just shopping for). It even has parental controls, so you can keep your children safe from the wild west of the internet. Don’t let ads suck the fun out of the internet. Use code FAMPLAN by July 20 at 11:59 p.m. PT to get an AdGuard Lifetime Family Plan for $15.97. AdGuard Family Plan: Lifetime SubscriptionSee Deal StackSocial prices subject to change.
