I've been using something similar since 2016. Works great to provide some basic ad-blocking to devices that would otherwise have none

or... you know... you can simply stop using ****** browser and it's clones and use Firefox... we already had to go over dark ages of Internet Explorer and it feels time came again fir Firefox to save the web...

Just bear in mind that AdGuard is developed by a Russian company. It might’ve change its business address, but there isn’t any guarantee that it doesn’t misuse your sensitive data.

uBlockOrigin Lite seems decent to me. It has less features, but some advantages over the full uBlock Origin too and is made by the same person.

Or, trivially simple, but not quite as thorough, just set DNS servers in your router to one that blocks ads and malicious software.

Its not as productive as some think. Lots of sites use out of band other sites for their ads some use the same domain. For example YouTube ads come from youtube.com so if you're blocking that then you won't get videos either. Some apps simply fail if they can't contact their ad servers for example Paramount Plus when you're trying to use the live TV function and you can't because it'll just bring up a circle and swirl while it waits to get its ad server so it can show you the ad. So I ended up discontinuing use of mine but at least I wasn't out any money because my microtik router allowed me to set up a darker container with the pie hole in it to run it's a task on the router.
