      I use a Safari extension called Purify. It’s in the App Store. Works pretty well for me.

      (I also use a pi-hole at home)

        Similar for me - 1Blocker and pi-hole at home. Then I also VPN to my home when outside to continue the pi-hole filter.

        I also use iCloud relay with non-precise location.

        You answered better and thanks for the link. Is this a free service?

        I’m using adguard but I’ve heard the owners are possibly unscrupulous.

          That is a free service and I really like it make sure you read their website basically when you sign up which requires no login it’ll give you a unique dns entry to use as your DNS

          The reason I like this one is it’s not just ad blocking it fixing a bunch of anti-tracking and other features

      Can you install Firefox?

      In Firefox you should be able to install the add-on “uBlock origin”. No additional tweaking of settings required.

      With Firefox you can browse the web including pages like YouTube.

      As a quick and easy alternative, you can set it to automatically open sites in reader mode. I’ve been trying that lately and it definitely helps although also mixed results where sites block part of their content from reader mode.

      With automatic reader mode, I click to hide reader much less often than I formerly clicked to enable it

      At least, you can change your DNS to one who blocks ads. It’s not as efficient as uBlock origin and system wide on Android. But, it’s better than nothing.

      AdGuard still works well but there are other safari extensions. At home I use eero ad blocking which works well for a maintenance free blocker.
