NextDNS makes all of the browser stuff you're talking about moot, other than ads served by the app/site itself. Also blocks ads in apps, games, etc. I can't even remember what it was like to play a mobile game that has video ads jammed in your face.

NextDNS

Definitely checking that out, thanks.

And if it can block ads on my Apple TV, I'm definitely paying them for it. It looks like setup is tricky but not difficult.

It can block ads on your whole home network and your mobile devices when not at home. I pay like $20/year and I never see ads. I still run block on my Mac.

Looks like it can't block YouTube ads though. That sucks.

But yes, $2/month or $20/year (2 months free) for Pro. I looked into it.
