Lots of Russian apps and services registered in Malta or Cyprus, but their devs continue to live in Russia. And naive users think they’re using a European app or service. For example Adguard.

It's not the first time I've noticed you spreading this misinformation on HN, so let me respond.

Most of AdGuard's staff relocated in 2022, and I (CTO and co-founder of AdGuard) personally live in Limassol, Cyprus. We commented on that publicly, but it seems that random forum posts often regarded as more reliable sources of information.

I am totally fine with anyone not trusting AdGuard for any reason, but please keep your statements factually correct.

PS: Sorry for sticking a small promo in the comment, but this year we're organizing the annual summit (adfilteringdevsummit.com) for ad blockers' devs on our home turf in Limassol, a perfect opportunity to meet us, other ad blockers and even browsers' devs.
