I'll provide my recommendations and filters here I myself use below:\n\nFirst, I would highly recommend setting the following to protect against [IDN Homograph attacks](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack) *You don't need to set this if your DNS provider already provides IDN Homograph Attacks Protection (i.e. NextDNS)*:\n\n* `xn--*`\n\n* `xn--*$doc,popup,frame`\n\nI usually also set the following to always enforce blocking Google's Doubleclick \u0026 Google Analytics: ((Why?)[https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Privacy-stuff])\n\n* `||doubleclick.net^$important`\n\n* `||google-analytics.com^$important`\n\nAdditionally, I set the following to block social media tracking on websites:\n\n* `||facebook.com^$important,third-party`\n\n* `||facebook.net^$important,third-party`\n\n* `||linkedin.com^$important,third-party`\n\n* `||instagram.com^$important,third-party`\n\n* `||tiktok.com^$important,third-party`\n\nI also set this to block [tracking from Gravatar](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Privacy-stuff):\n\n* `||gravatar.com^$important,third-party`\n\nI also set these rules to block 3rd party sign-in prompts from Google \u0026 Apple, as they're 1: annoying and 2: a tracking concern:\n\n* `||accounts.google.com^$third-party`\n\n* `||appleid.apple.com^$third-party`\n\n* `||appleid.cdn-apple.com^$third-party`\n\n* `@@||accounts.google.com^$domain=youtube.com|chromium.org|gstatic.com|googleusercontent.com`\n\n* `@@||appleid.apple.com^$domain=appleid.cdn-apple.com`\n\n* `@@||appleid.cdn-apple.com^$domain=appleid.apple.com`\n\nFinally, I usually set the following to block the annoying banner on Old Reddit promoting Reddit's new UI.\n\n* `www.reddit.com###redesign-beta-optin-btn`\n\n* `old.reddit.com###redesign-beta-optin-btn`\n\nOnce you are done here, make sure to select `Save`.\n\n# Additional settings\n\n**Use optimized filters** -\u003e ❌\n\n**Invert allowlist** -\u003e ❌ *(Should be default)*\n\n**Help with the development of AdGuard filters** -\u003e ❌\n\n**Show information on the AdGuard full version** -\u003e ❌\n\n**Notify about extension updates** -\u003e ✅\n\n# Additional recommendations\n\n* Use a privacy-respecting browser like [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/) with my [Phoenix](https://phoenix.celenity.dev).[text](../Phoenix/.github)\n\n* Enable Safe Browsing in your browser if possible and if it's not done in a privacy-invasive way. (You should use i.e. [Google Safe Browsing on \"Standard\" Mode](https://safebrowsing.google.com/), [Firefox's Safe Browsing](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-does-phishing-and-malware-protection-work), \u0026 [Brave's Safe Browsing](https://brave.com/privacy/browser/#safe-browsing), you should avoid most other options i.e. [Google Safe Browsing on \"Enhanced\" Mode](https://safebrowsing.google.com/), [Microsoft SmartScreen](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/security/operating-system-security/virus-and-threat-protection/microsoft-defender-smartscreen/), \u0026 [Opera Sitecheck](https://blogs.opera.com/security/2021/01/making-browsing-safe-from-phishing/)).\n\n* Use a private, secure, \u0026 reputable DNS provider of your choice. I would recommend setting up your own [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io) configuration if you are able to *(See my recommendations for NextDNS [here](https://codeberg.org/celenity/nextdns-settings))*, otherwise I would recommend [Quad9](https://quad9.net/). *(Even if you have a private/secure DNS provider set on your OS/network level, make sure to also set it in your browser as well, so that you can take advantage of [Encrypted Client Hello](https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-encrypted-client-hello))*\n\n* Use a (reputable) anti-virus if possible. On Windows, you can use the built-in [Microsoft Defender Antivirus](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Defender_Antivirus), on macOS, you can stick to the built-in [XProtect](https://support.apple.com/guide/security/protecting-against-malware-sec469d47bd8/web), on Android, you can use [Hypatia](https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.malwarescanner/), and on Linux, you can use [ClamAV](https://www.clamav.net/). **NOTE:** You should install Hypatia through the [DivestOS Official Repo](https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/?fingerprint=E4BE8D6ABFA4D9D4FEEF03CDDA7FF62A73FD64B75566F6DD4E5E577550BE8467) instead of F-Droid's main repo, as it will allow you to receive quicker updates directly from the developer. It's also recommended to use [F-Droid Basic](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.basic/) as your F-Droid client of choice.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcelenityy%2Fadguard-extension-settings","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcelenityy%2Fadguard-extension-settings","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcelenityy%2Fadguard-extension-settings/lists"}
