I keep brave around pretty much just for this, because it's the easiest and most effective way on MacOS and iOS. And yet they still seem to be getting through sometimes lately.

The easiest and most effective way on macOS and iOS is to use the AdGuard extension for Safari. Or the U block origin extension in Firefox.

Neither come with the shame of using a browser developed by a homophobic anti-vaxxer.

Are you speaking from experience? Because I am. And those don’t work. This is right now, on iOS 18.3 on my iPhone 16 Pro.

They worked fine for me, but I don’t have all of those other extensions. AdGuard blocks all the ads on my device, including ads in YouTube videos.

Perhaps you should tweak your settings?
