How to get rid of ad.doubleclick.net

Safari searches on my iPhone 15Pro Max (iOS 18.2) often fail and I get “can’t find the server” or similar error messages. The URL is always ad.doubleclick.net

Searches for info from companies like Bose, Directv, Frontier and sometimes even Apple. It doesn’t matter which WiFi network I use but it doesn’t happen using Chrome or FireFox browsers.

How do I get rid of this annoying Safari problem?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

You are experiencing a browser redirect to an advertisement that appears to be inoperative at present. Which of the five Search Engines did you choose on your iPhone?

I think it's a problem with ad.doubleclick.net. There was another post about it earlier today in which I suggested a content blocker may be the cause. In this case a content blocker may help, or it may not.
