The term refers to a modified version of the AdGuard application specifically designed for Android TV devices. This modified application is distributed in the APK (Android Package Kit) format and generally incorporates features or bypasses restrictions not present in the official version available through official app stores. Functionally, it is intended to provide ad-blocking and privacy protection on Android TV platforms, aiming to filter advertisements and potentially malicious tracking mechanisms.
The perceived value often stems from the ability to eliminate intrusive advertising, improve device performance by reducing data consumption, and enhance user privacy. Historically, obtaining such modified software has been driven by user demand for features unavailable in the officially distributed application, or to circumvent subscription costs. However, it is important to recognize that using such modified applications carries inherent risks.
