I’m a big fan of Safari and how seamlessly it works with all my Apple devices, but these ads are pushing me to the edge. I can't even get through an article without being interrupted by some ad or another. It’s super annoying.

I’ve looked up older threads on this, and I’m choosing between two adblockers rn - Stop the Madness and Magic Lasso. They both seem like they could be a solution, but I'm not sure which one to go for. Anything that stands out?

Are there other options I’m missing?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you guys can offer.

I use Chrome, mostly because I am used to it from using Android so long. Safari seems to use Google, too, just adds ads.

Google is an advertising company first and foremost. They're the worst offender by far when it comes to protecting your data.

Chrome is so buggy, slow, and ad-riddled on ios that it’s basically useless.

As stated, Chrome is just what I am used to using. Usually, I am just checking spelling or definitions before posting. OP asked for options and I shared.
