You should switch from chrome to firefox. Less tracking built in to the browser. Also chrome is planning to deprecate manifest V2 which will break all adblockers.

adguard does have a MV2 compliant ad blocker but I'll still use Firefox lol

Adguard is russian spyware. Also it wouldn't matter if they have a manifest v2 compliant addon as manifest v2 is going away in less than a year. Manifest V3 breaks adblockers.

Yes, they were developed in Russia and moved to Cyprus a few years later. Their software also installs a root certificate so that's fun. Here is a primer on why that's a bad thing. You should use ublock origin if you care about adblocking and privacy.
