I can't thank Adguard enough for providing so much to the community, they are a BIG part of my privacy-funded lifestyle.
Out of the topic — but if you by any chance work on the mobile apps.
Do you know why the iOS version is still sub-par compared to Android? You all add more features for rooted Android but what about Jailbroken iOS devices?
I have bought 20+ Adguard licenses and have never regretted buying them. Only if the iOS version could be much better.
Hi, thank you very much for supporting AG!
We are very cautious with Apple as we suffered from them before [1]. So we're trying to stick to the APIs they provide. I hope the new URL filtering API [2] will improve the situation with the system-wide filtering, but our request for API access is still being reviewed by Apple.
Regarding jailbroken iOS devices, unlike Android the numbers are really marginal so it won't be feasible to support them.

Thank you so much, I also regularly read your blogs.
I am looking forward for better iOS support. :) Hope Apple can be much reasonable.
Also, what network trackers do you think are most harmful for privacy? — WebRTC, hardware fingerprinting, etags, cookies? Do you think Adguard will hone themselves much more in the future from just being an ad-blocker to evolving into an all-in-one privacy protector?
Also, I apologize for asking too many questions, I just got a bit excited when I saw you comment.
Uh, I guess it's a little bit off-topic here:) It's hard to say what's more harmful, I'd say cookies still take #1, but I think we're not far from the moment when your email address or its derivative will be used as the main advertising ID. Regarding evolution, well, definitely possible, the time will show.
