Advice Request Adguard Android settings

[Malakke]

Hello guys. I'm trying Adguard for Android in my mobile phone (not rooted). Pleased so far, but i have some questions about customization of this app in premium version:

- Do you enable Adguard for all apps (Whatsapp, PlayStore...), or only for apps that have ads?
- Which method of filtering do yo use? High quality, High Speed or Simplified?
- Do you installed Https certificate? Is necessary for blocking embedded ads in Youtube?
- Have you noticed any drain of battery or increased data usage with Adguard?
- What other settings do you tweak?

Thanks

Regards

I use Adguard free version just to filter out Ads for the internet browsing, using Chrome.
I use the default filtering method.
I have not installed HTTPS certificate because IMO it is not necessary and I don't know about Youtube but it does not seem there are differences.
No perceptible problem with the battery, but about the increased data traffic, the devs say that the problem is in the handling of Android.
Yes I see more data traffic and I can't confirm or deny the developers but I think that what they say is correct.
I have enabled Firewall to manage connections of some apps.

Thanks. Why do you enable firewall? What benefits have you doing it?

Some pre-installed apps, or apps that I use, often connect to the internet with no real need.
I often use mobile data and the firewall is useful for managing data consumption and traffic.
