1Blocker has been the best for me, as it works with all of the Apple devices and syncs across them. Another option is to enable reader mode by default on all websites, so instead of getting the site with all of the ads, you’ll get a reader view without the ads and distractions.

It’s really not as bad as people portray. Most sites do work in Safari. There are some problems, but they’ve been pretty good about licking them over time. It’s passable enough that I only have to punt to an alternate browser once in a while.

I’ve tried to use Firefox, I really have. But Firefox absolutely murders my battery and I’m sorry, but they need to do some serious usability improvements… especially around the container implementation and tab management. It’s confusing as fuck (to me).

Sadly, it is a trend.

Teams won’t even open on Safari. Must use a chrome-based browser (like… Edge!)

Did you try to clear your cookies for the sites in question? Also, are you using iCloud Private Relay?

In the USA, work doesn’t end at 5, and there’s always homework. That’s where your proposal goes wrong.
