Fed up with ads on Safari. Need advice. (alien.top)

I’m a big fan of Safari and how seamlessly it works with all my Apple devices, but these ads are pushing me to the edge. I can't even get through an article without being interrupted by some ad or another. It’s super annoying.

I’ve looked up older threads on this, and I’m choosing between two adblockers rn - Stop the Madness and Magic Lasso. They both seem like they could be a solution, but I'm not sure which one to go for. Anything that stands out?

Are there other options I’m missing?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you guys can offer.

Maybe too simple of an idea but have you tried the “reader mode”?

The most obvious place these work are the horrible recipe websites. Many ads to scroll and scroll through to see the damn ingredient list. Hold the AA 🔑 looking logo by the address bar to enable it. I have mine set to dark mode so the annoying ad filled white page becomes dark mode with no ads. Works really well on most pages. But not all.

I’d also suggest changing the default browser from Google to DuckDuckGo. Much better privacy and you can choose to search from a different country which can be helpful.
