And down to Safari. Then enable content blocking. And in AdGuard you have to choose various filters. Some fiddling around between them but they work great. I mostly try this setting to see what it did then the next. Keep fiddling until I get things working right

I don't know if I need all of them. I tried to play with some on and off and nothing made a difference

I will appreciate any suggestions

Under AdGuard Pro’s settings select Safari Protection. Then enable filters you wish. There are multiple choices you can choose. Then you need to update in AdGuard and go. I also use their VPN
