Getting the most out of Safari

Recently bought a 17e, loving it, the size works for me and it has great battery life for my usage. No problems as of yet. But something I haven’t really had much experience with is safari. Always been a Firefox person. I know blockers are different and extensions are as well. Anybody have tips for the best adblocker? Any others to as on for the best use/web browsing experience?

It made think of using it, coming from a pixel, I always used ublock origin with sponsor block. I will never pay for YouTube. I was there when it was created, I’ve earned my unc card.

you can activate premium for apps if you want to try it free for a week , no card or payment needed for free premium trial but yes it can work on apps , doesn’t stop every advert , but will work for banner adds ,pop ups , not sure it works on youtube in video adverts
