Why do you mention paying for a VPN as unsafe?
Specifically, the way iOS content blocking works is guaranteed safe. All it does is write to a file loaded by the Safari browser to block content, the app can't do anything at all itself. No indication any VPN sold by AdGuard (or the local device-wide fake VPN) is particularly unsafe that I've seen.
So if I just use private relay and AdGuard should be enough?
Yeah that'll block all ads and trackers that're possible without severe annoyance with a non fingerprinted browser etc.
