    Comments about NetGuard as an Alternative to AdGuard

    Adguard and Netguard show as alternatives to each other but I don't think they can be alternatives to each other in an almost exact way. Netguard networks your traffic, it's a firewall; I use adguard as an adblocker mostly by using it from private dns. They can be quite similar in some ways but I use them both for their special roles.
