My rating is for the Android version of this add-on. It's adequate, whereas it used to be really good. I would rate it higher, if it had all of the features it used to. If the features were removed to encourage the use of the system-wide AdGuard app, particularly the paid version, I can understand. However, Android only allows the use of one VPN app at a time. Since I'm not going to go without my VPN, and my phone isn't currently rooted, that means that I can't use the Android AdGuard system-wide app, at all. That leaves me with the browser add-on being my only option. The solution that would ideal to me, would be to allow licensed AdGuard users (such as myself) enter our license code into the browser addon, to unlock all of the same features that the system-wide app has. That would make this a definite 5 star add-on.
