Can anyone tell me if this filters HTTPS requests?

That's one feature that keeps me using Adguard, and it makes a huge difference to the filtering ability/quality.

    The way AdGuard does it, is it has you install a certificate on your phone, which then allows you to block ads and trackers within HTTPS pipelines. If you don't do that, then it can only block HTTP requests, which tends to be pretty low quality filtering. In addition, I also enable DNS blocking through AdGuard DNS service, so it's kind of like blanket coverage.

    I haven't honestly found anything that does the same thing, or at least not at the same level of quality. So I'm always curious to see if something new has come out that can reach this level of filtering performance.
