In theory you are right, in practice it works just as well.

That depends a lot on the site. It works well on some, but on others it's just not enough.

Safari/iOS blocking is closer to uBlock Origin than to DNS blocking, but is not as powerful as uBO and some sites "exploit" those limitations.

No, it really does not. My iPad with safari and safari filters next to my android with firefox + ublock is nowhere near as comprehensive. Even news websites sneak ads into safari.

Got any example urls handy? I’m using AdGuard and i just don’t recall getting ads anywhere i visit. I’m interested to see if any slip through.

The only exception i can recall right now was youtube but SponsorBlock does great there in Safari.
