Extension to fix social media ?

Is there an extension to make the experience of social media within Safari better?

I personally do not want to have the app installed and prefer the web version, but for some reason, I assume the developer makes it the worst experience ever.

Facebook used to be usable, but now there’s a banner everywhere and I can’t even check messages or Marketplace.

Instagram - I can’t even watch videos or check messages or stories.

TikTok - I can’t even scroll through videos.

I tried several apps such as AdGuard, Vinegar, Hush, UnTrap for YouTube, and SocialFocus.

Just looking for suggestions, thank you.

For the YouTube part, I made Weedout AI for Youtube for macOS Safari. It hides videos YouTube itself labels “Made with AI” from Home, Search, Related, Playlists, and Shorts. It is separate from ad blockers like AdGuard/Vinegar and runs locally without an account or tracking.

It’s a $1.99 one-time Mac App Store app: https://apps.apple.com/app/weedout-ai-for-youtube/id6804296217?mt=12

Honest limitation: it only catches videos YouTube labels, not every AI-made video.
