uBlock Origin filtering so many trackers despite AdGuard desktop?

Post Body

Maybe this is a silly newb question but here goes:

Why, after I have the desktop version of AdGuard installed, with multiple filters enabled, and ensured that Chrome is listed in the AdGuard list of applications to block, does uBlock Origin extension still manage to block so many trackers? Right now on Reddit I see it's blocked 11 items. On Twitter it was at 34. Many of those (according to the uBlock filter log) are google analytics or even strings from Chrome extensions.

I'm sure these things ought to be filtered out by the AdGuard filters. How are they making it past that and into Chrome so that I need uBlock to filter them out? I'm just trying to ensure a best security set-up.

AdGuard filter log is clearly showing plenty of items in Chrome being blocked. Does uBlock just have better filter lists, and should I just copy them into AdGuard? Or is Chrome somehow bypassing AdGuard filtering?

Thanks
