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.

I use AdGuard for free, it's not blocking every ads out there. But there are sites i didn't realized had ads bcs i didn't see them in the first place.

I use their dns based Adblock and it’s working flawlessly no app required just install the profile from their website.

I use AdGuard(pro, there was a lifetime deal a long time ago). It's great.

Very happy I snagged this life time deal as well

For anyone interested, you can basically always get Adguard Premium on StackSocial for super cheap. I got a lifetime family pack of licenses for $20 when I bought it. A lot better than paying for something that’ll only work on iOS and maybe MacOS tbh.

Will do so once I get paid tomorrow or Friday. Thanks! 😊👍🏾

This is what I use too and it works great. No more ads. Now the only thing that irks me are the sites who ask me to turn off ad blockers.

Don’t forget the AdGuard DoH DNS profile.

DNS-over-QUIC is better.

Oh I did not see this as an option on their site. Do they support this now?
