    Customization and Price. Adaway's primary feature is that it's free. Then it has the ability to accept custom host lists which let you block ads while not breaking sites.

    In my opinion, Adguard ad blocker for Windows and Android offers more features than just blocking ads with certain filters, custom DNS and protocol DNS-over-QUIC filtering, which is fast and less hackable.
