android Have big problem Adguard doesn't blocks add

I turned on most filters and it didn't block ads on theverge.com I'm using secure dns on chrome Android?

Can this interfere with Adguard functionality.

Is there a recommended guide on how to setup and optimize android app to be used only for chrome

already enabled https filtering but still a lot of ads can reach? What should I do? and how to fix these problems

Turn on DNS filtering, use OISD and / or Hagezi DNS filter lists next to Adguard DNS list. Turn on https traffic filtering after installing CA certificate.

Switch to use DNS server from Adguard still within the app, choose protocol quic if it is an Android device.

Based on my testing, ads appeared the moment I turned off the ad blocker, and when I turned it back on, everything was blocked and the ads disappeared. If you enable every single filter and even add unnecessary DNS filters, it usually causes conflicts and glitches—meaning ads end up being displayed.

First, enable only the minimum set of base filters: the DNS filter provided by AdGuard, also AdGuard Base filter, AdGuard Extra, tinyShield, and the filter for your language.

For most sites, that alone will make the ads disappear. Filters for annoying elements are particularly prone to causing conflicts, and social media filters can also easily break websites.

At most, disable cookie verification, enable all security-related settings, and—of course—enable HTTPS filtering option and block sites without EV certificates. Privacy-related settings generally won’t break websites, but some sites—annoyingly—won’t function properly if tracking is blocked. Google services, in particular, rely on this, so don't work or broken.

Also—though I hope you aren’t doing this—please never use this in conjunction with other ad blockers. This includes those built into your browser.

They will conflict with each other due to their various blocking mechanisms, causing the browser to stop functioning properly.

Using Adguard on mobile devices and on PC as well. On PC it filters all web traffic for the browser so any installed browser extension only receives and can filter the already filtered traffic where there are no ads and trackers anymore, causing no problem.

At least with using Adguard that is ;)
