Hi guys, I have AdGuard for Windows installed.
I use Edge Chromium.
Installed the Browser Assistant from the Windows app:

And in the Extentions tab of the Adguard for Windows, its enabled by default:

And I have AdGuard Browser assistant install on my Edge Chromium:

So with the above info, should I also install this:
chrome.google.com

AdGuard AdBlocker - Chrome Web Store

Unmatched adblock extension against advertising and pop-ups. Blocks ads on Facebook, YouTube and all other websites.
chrome.google.com chrome.google.com

Or this below for Edge?
adguard.com

Block ads in Edge | AdGuard ad blocker

Now you can remove all types of advertising in Microsoft Edge with our AdGuard extension. Download and enjoy browsing without ads and pop-ups!
adguard.com adguard.com

I am confused. Thank you so much.

Also from the second screenshot above, should I enable this below?

The AdGuard Assistant differs from the normal browser extension and is especially made to use with AdGuard for Windows.
So, in this case let AdGuard install the AdGuard Assistant from the chrome store (it's not in the Edge store (yet)).
Some info:
adguard.com

AdGuard Assistant | Overview | AdGuard

AdGuard Assistant is a tool to help you block ads right from the browser without leaving the current page. Use AdGuard adblock together with Assistant.
adguard.com adguard.com

Browser Assistant | AdGuard Knowledge Base

AdGuard Assistant’s primary function is to manage filtering directly from the browser. It has existed for quite a long time, and its form and content have changed. More precisely, it used to be a mere userscript incorporated into AdGuard for Windows app and became a full-fledged browser...

AdGuard v7.4 for Windows and new Browser Assistant

AdGuard v7.4 for Windows will be remembered as an update that introduced new Browser Assistant: a new, improved tool to manage filtering right from the browser.

It is on the Edge Store:

AdGuard AdBlocker - Microsoft Edge Add-ons

Make Microsoft Edge your own with extensions that help you personalize the browser and be more productive.
microsoftedge.microsoft.com

From this link, I got the link in post above:
adguard.com

Block ads in Edge | AdGuard ad blocker

Now you can remove all types of advertising in Microsoft Edge with our AdGuard extension. Download and enjoy browsing without ads and pop-ups!
adguard.com adguard.com

Now should I remove the AdGuard Browser Assistant and install the above one for Edge?

So you don't need Adguard AdBlocker extension with Adguard desktop. You only need AdGuard Browser Assistant.

@SeriousHoax I didnt understand your last part. You mean its better to install the AdGuard extension for Edge and keep it beside AdGuard Browser assistant? Or remove browser assistant?
