As part of its clever tricks, Adguard app inserts a script which is loaded from local.adguard.org. Now this address translates (via DNS) into 176.103.133.77 which is a 'magic' address. When the browser makes a connection to this IP address, Adguard app intercepts it and processes it locally.
Safari 13 is severely grippled Adblocker-wise, unfortunately. Switched to Chrome (+ uBlock Origin) because of that. Nothing from the Safari-Blockers comes even close. Tested AdGuard (blocked not as much, made browsing slower), 1Blocker, Wipr and others – nothing compares to uBlock Origin.

In my case: No ad blocker for the last week, on a 3.5 month old M1 MBA, and the speed of safari has been great! No sluggishness, like when I had the ad blocker "AdGuard" running on Safari.

With AdGuard we have the choice and some will do as you and be satisfied with free product. Others will be prepared to pay for a better solution. Choice is good!

I use Safari and for the last couple of years I've used PithHelmet as my ad blocker. It's great, but it doesn't get updated often, and it's the only piece of software that requires me to hold back on Safari updates for more than a few days. I'm still unsure if it works fully with Safari 5.0.3...

Yes, that guy is absolutely right, adblockers generally, potentially, may present a threat to privacy, they access to your browsing data; that’s why I never used another ad-blocker besides Wipr, because Wipr uses Safari content blocker API. With that API the content blocker cannot access to your browser data or what see/do on the web.
