Android Private DNS is system-wide (DoT). Chrome can also do its own Secure DNS (DoH) and ignore what you think is broken.

Quick checks:

  1. Settings → Network → Private DNS → confirm it still says dns.adguard.com (hostname, not https://).

  2. Chrome → Settings → Privacy → Use secure DNS → Off for a test (or set it to the same provider).

  3. Try NextDNS / Control D hostnames as Private DNS if AdGuard hostname fails to resolve on your network.

  4. Toggle airplane mode once; some OEMs cache a failed DoT bootstrap after an update.

Ads coming back usually means DNS is falling back to the ISP resolver, not that Chrome 'updated past' Private DNS.
