Ads nowadays are little more than psychological assault and it can't be healthy to be exposed to it regularly. My Home Ec teacher back in the day had a whole unit about the different manipulations present in advertisements and it was really enlightening and upsetting. Modern advertising should be banned or severely regulated.

I am ashamed to say that I have not. I'd either need to find an Indian restaurant (closest one is 30 miles away lol) or try to whip up an Indian recipe with grocery store ingredients.

You're talking about exploits. They were talking about backdoors. The are not the same thing.

I'd actually love to see a graph that shows the distribution of lengths of various wars

No, it's not a VPN. Your traffic does not go through it. All using it does is change which server that your device asks for IP addresses for the websites you visit. When your device asks for the IP for an ad, Adguard gives you one that points back to your device and prevents the ad from being loaded. Otherwise it acts like any other DNS-Over-HTTPS server.

It's open source. If there were backdoors people would've noticed.

It's like every time there's a war everybody forgets how fucking long they take. WW2 took six years. The Vietnam War took almost 20 years, same with the Afghanistan War. Anybody expecting anything solid within the next couple years is delusional. Ukraine is in it for the long haul.
