Should I add any third-party filters in AdGuard for more effective ad blocking in apps? Do you have any third-party traditional and DNS filter suggestions?

I have only added these
- adguard url tracking filter
- ublock origin badware risks filter
- onlinen malicious url filter ( if i remember correct)

So default filters are enough

As dns i use default cloudflare dns, since i use encrypted hello client.

I'm running AdGuard with default filters (security filter off) and included Peter Lowe for traditional filtering and Hagezi Light for DNS filtering. Cloudflare Zero Trust DNS is what I use for DNS.

Does AdGuard filter ads in apps with DNS filtering only or traditional filters too? If it filters ads in apps with traditional filters too, then it would be more effective than DNS services with ad blocking like NextDNS.

I get what you mean, but no idea to be honest. I dont have many apps where i have seen adblock working, but cant say wich blocked it, the dns filter or traditional filter.

I have seen on my kids phone, that adguard blocked ads completely from games that had them, my mother has samsung phone and somehow adguard dns filter will completely disable internet connection, wich is weird...thats why she wont use dns filter

But currently i only use browser and i dont play mobile games or use any ad having apps , so i cant test this thing

It would be better to send mail to adguard about this.

I have nextdns sub, but i dont use it since i find adguard more effective

Edit: but i bet its dns filter wich does job here
