AdGuard is a browser security plugin designed to detect and block malicious software and spam within web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. It works by analyzing the content of web pages to identify suspicious activities, such as malware, phishing, and ransomware, and then blocking or removing them before they can harm the user or the website.
