#### AdGuard Browser extensions
Browser extensions work differently, using the so called [_Lookup API_](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/162) to do the check of pages that you visit. Every time you visit any website, local client exchanges information with our backend server in a form of hashes and hash prefixes. For those who are interested in the process on a deeper level, the link above will be helpful. As a result of that exchange, local client determines if the website is from blacklist or not.

We bring to your attention that we never get any information that could allow us to determine which websites you visit and use that data in any way.

A simple and convenient feature with with which you don't have to worry whether or not you have your ad blocker turned on, and just be sure that ads are always blocked.
**Do not block search ads and websites' self-promotion**
This option might be useful to online shoppers: instead of whitelisting all your favourite e-shops and sites, you can simply exclude [self-promos and search ads](https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/search-ads-and-self-promotion) from filtering. AdGuard will automatically detect those and let them be, while removing everything else ad-like.

## HTTPS Filtering
AdGuard is able to filter traffic shared via protected protocol HTTPS. For this, you will need to install a specially generated digital certificate that can be found in the AdGuard settings. The filter has flexible settings and provides for Whitelist and Blacklist. This allows the user to decide which HTTPS domains should be filtered or not.

AdGuard Pro also supports DNSCrypt servers. You can read why DNSCrypt is so important in our [Knowledge base article](https://kb.adguard.com/general/dns-filtering-android#what-is-dnscrypt-and-why-is-it-important). Long story short: it greatly enhances your online privacy protection. Loads of DNSCrypt servers to choose from (including AdGuard DNSCrypt servers) are available by default on the “DNS settings screen”, along with option to add a custom server.
#### DNS requests log
DNS requests log is another useful feature of AdGuard Pro. The log contains the full list of processed DNS requests, from which you can choose any single one and blacklist it on the spot, or whitelist a previously blocked one. This feature allows for wide choice of options to adjust the blacklist and whitelist as well as lets you track all requests in real time. To access it, tap on the stats tab in the app's main menu.

#### Trackers detection
AdGuard products in general care about online privacy, and AdGuard Pro is not an exception. It detects online trackers that gather all types of information about you and your actions. Any detected tracker requests are highlighted with yellow in DNS requests log. Unfortunately, Apple puts harsh restrictions on tools available to iOS apps outside of Safari, so often blocking of such requests results in breaking functionality of associated services. This is why many of these trackers are not blocked by default, but you have full control over which ones to block manually. AdGuard Pro will provide detailed info about most of these trackers so you can make a well-considered decision in each separate case.
