Its crazy to me that people even use their browsers without ad blocking. I wanted to limit my screen time a while back and realized that it was the browser that was the problem, so I ditched my heavily content filtered ad blocking brave and pivoted to safari with no ad blocking, my screen time went from 2 hrs / day to 20 minutes / day.

Pi hole + vpn + browser ad blocker for the privacy and calm enjoyer
I have two bookmarklets that take care of ~80% of the most annoying ads.
One removes IFRAME elements from the page. The other hides anything with display:fixed.
Ad blockers are great for completionists, but they seem to be ephemeral in the cat and mouse game while my bookmarklets have been working fine throughout.
