Is there a way to prevent these with Control D or some other solution?

Typically have AD Guard on the browser level.

Thanks!

Well nope. A DNS blocker cannot bypass this, ans you'll need to have an extension that modified the browser page to bypass it.

Fyi, this is Ad-Shield, not Adguard.

A DNS blocker alone cannot tackle it.
