In iOS 15, Apple added support for Safari Web Extensions and we added a new *Advanced protection* module to AdGuard for iOS. It allows AdGuard to apply advanced filtering rules, such as [CSS rules](/general/ad-filtering/create-own-filters#cosmetic-css-rules), [Extended CSS selectors](/general/ad-filtering/create-own-filters#extended-css-selectors), and [scriptlets](/general/ad-filtering/create-own-filters#scriptlets) to deal with even the complex ads, such as YouTube ads.

### Content blockers {#content-blockers}

Content blockers serve as 'containers' for filtering rules that do the actual job of blocking ads and tracking. AdGuard for iOS contains six content blockers: General, Privacy, Social, Security, Custom, and Other. Previously Apple only allowed each content blocker to contain a maximum of 50K filtering rules, but with iOS 15 release the upper limit has moved to 150K rules.

There are two main tunnel modes: *Split* and *Full*. *Split-Tunnel* mode provides compatibility of AdGuard and so-called "Personal VPN" apps. In *Full-Tunnel* mode no other VPN can work simultaneously with AdGuard.

There is a specific feature of the *Split-Tunnel* mode: In case of poor DNS proxy performance, for example, if the response from the AdGuard DNS server isn't returned in timely, iOS will instead reroute traffic through the DNS server specified in the iOS settings. No ads are blocked at this time and DNS traffic is not encrypted.

In *Full-Tunnel* mode only the DNS server specified in AdGuard settings is used. If it does not respond, the Internet will simply not work. Enabled *Full-Tunnel* mode may negatively impact the performance of some programs (e.g., FaceTime) and cause app update issues.

## About system-wide filtering

System-wide filtering lets you block ads and trackers not just in Safari, but across other apps and browsers on your iOS device. iOS is a fairly closed operating system, and Apple provides limited options for blocking ads outside Safari. The only way to block ads and trackers system-wide is through [DNS filtering](https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-filtering/). This article explains how to enable it.
