  • Yeah, it certainly will look normal on the front end but we don't know what's going on in the backend. That's where all the shady business takes place. You can scan the apk for malwares and stuff here to make sure if it has malware but it's not 100 % accurate. Plus it doesn't scan for data collection code or if it's being sent to a bad place. And in my honest opinion if you can't pay for adguard either stick with free which is good enough or switch to free alternatives like blockada, adaway, netguard, trackercontrol more in this link. It's a mater of privacy and security and compromising it by trusting some website is not ideal imo.
