Doesn’t work with iOS14

After installing iOS14 the AdGuard app with DNS protection enabled blocks ALL traffic. With DNS protection disabled it doesn’t block any ads anymore.
Been lied to.
I'm not telling you...
So everywhere from their own reddit to their support page and email replies say that it should work with chrome. It does not. I even got confirmation from them that I installed everything correctly. Some people got it to work but I can't for the life of me. I really wanted to switch to chrome since while safari does work, their stupid browser does not allow for "open in private tab" which is a pain. But it's not just chrome. Firefox and Edge don't work either. Ads pop up everywhere where in safari they don't. "The DNS-based filtering approach blocks around 80% of ads outside Safari. That's the limitation of the technology, and we can't make it work better without risking to be banned by Apple. Your settings seem to be correct, you are getting the filtering quality other iOS users get." Well everything on YouTube falls in that 20% apparently. And while in video ads I could forgive maybe, it is also the banner ads on the home screen. That is unacceptable. Even outside youtube there were ads, some of them being on reddit and the how to page for making this work. There should be more clarity that you cannot replace safari in this. Apple is to blame as well as their "Oh you can change the defualt browser" is misleading. You can, it will just be gimped in as blocking. Not that they told people. It is a shame. I appreciate adgaurd as they have been doing so well in safari for years for me. I bought their premium version to try to not have to use safari but it didn't work. So I bought this... Such also didn't work. I'll keep the premium since they deserve some of my money for making iphone usable. But I requested a refund for this app. And you get 3 stars because game apps are blocked. Although since I don't really play any games much it is of little use to me. What's really a disappointment is that some have actually got it to work for them in chrome and Firefox. I wanted it to work for me too but it didn't. Since I can get youtube ads blocked in safari using their service while others can't maybe it is just karma but things shouldn't be like this. It is partly apple's fault anyway for their walled garden system. :/
Went Completely Useless Overnight

Absolutely loved this app - blocked any and all ads, even inside apps, and miraculously, also on Twitch. Until this morning, that is - it is like the app doesn’t exist anymore on my iPhone 8 Plus. I DID NOT update to iOS 14; still running 13.7. Now ads are everywhere, and none of the workarounds (including installing profiles) work. Somehow, AdGuard Pro was bricked literally overnight, revealing the insane amount of ads one is exposed to without it. I really hope there is a fix for this mess!
Recently stopped working on Chrome

Everything has been going great with AdGuard Pro till Google pushed out an update of chrome that now renders it useless. Not sure what’s happened or why it stopped working but it’s not blocking ads or banners anymore. Proceed with caution.
Element selection randomly stops working
David Mooch
Element selection will randomly stop working where I try to tap on the AdGuard option on safari but it will not do anything. I’m not sure why this bug keeps happening but I have to uninstall and reinstall every time. This means all my user created rules go away. Please fix this.
Awaiting fix for YT

A certain video hosting site is currently winning the back and forth against you. From playback errors, to blank-but-still-irritating ads, to now the ads are back completely.
