example-chrome-extension VS AdGuardSDNSFilter

Shameless plug: I was totally dissatisfied with the state of extension documentation and tutorials, so I wrote a book on building Chrome extensions: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/

I was enthusiastic enough about extensions that I decided to publish a book about building them: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/

Browser extensions are severely underrated as a platform because they aren't sexy. For all that mobile devices have given us, so much of our work continues to be done using a desktop browser. Enhancements such as augmenting websites with widgets, supplying contextual information, and automating repetitive tasks using the authenticated session - when applied appropriately - can save someone hours every day.

Browser extensions. Not quite a website, not quite a mobile app, and surprisingly pervasive. Most people don't realize how incredibly powerful they are, even with manifest v3.

I almost fell out of my chair when I found out there were no books on how to build them, so I wrote one: https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/ It was incredibly enjoyable to go through the APIs and write about all the different crazy things they can do.

I was frustrated with the lack of resources, so I'm publishing a book on it: "Building Browser Extensions". Available later this year. https://www.buildingbrowserextensions.com/

If you don't trust their DNS servers for whatever reason, you can simply add these entries to your hosts file to replicate their functionality locally.

You don't really need AdGuard DNS in this setting, the filter it use is already included in the DNS blocking filter if you enable it, which you should, since this way DNS requests are filtered immediately instead of having to go all the way to the AdGuard DNS server every single time. Feel free to combine it with other DNS servers if you want, eg, maybe you find one that is faster/blocks malware better, etc. The requests then will only resolve if the adblocking filter doesn't block it and the DNS server also approve it.

Posted and issue to fix it: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter/issues/1260

Technically, not all rules in EasyList are included in AdGuard DNS, because some of the rules are URL patterns that can't be supported by DNS-based filtering.

Adguard DNS Filter? You mean this one? https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter There's a link there in project description.

If you're asking what DNS filters I use on AGH, then it's a mixture of adblocking, security, and specific purpose. I'm using the standard AdGuard filter plus:
