As a satisfied customer, I just recommended their adblockimg DNS on here a few days ago but am happy to do it again. If you really don't want to install anything, at least adblock at the DNS level. https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html
You can also install AdGuard home as a home-assistant add-on, and then configure your router to hand that IP out as the network DNS server -- so all of your network traffic is ad blocking as soon as it hits your wifi. (like a pihole).
It's pretty slick, highly recommend.
(Also super useful to see what devices are reaching out to where and how frequently, custom block lists, custom local DNS entries, etc).

Their pihole alternative is great too. Single go binary. Fantastic software.
Is it open source?
It is - GPLv3

I'm not well-versed in this: is AdGuard roughly equivalent to Pi-hole?
They do run a public DNS server that is equivalent to a Pihole.
It's worth trying on devices where you can't install ad blocking software, but can change the TCP/IP settings.

Their self-hosted product (AdGuard Home) is. ;)
yes, and it will happily run on a reasonable OpenWRT system such as a GL.iNet Flint 2.
How would they compare to NextDNS?
