As far as Mac Safari recommendations, I've tried most of them. Better seems the leanest and most effective for me. I have no relationship with the developer.

As far as Mac Safari recommendations, I've tried most of them. Better seems the leanest and most effective for me. I have no relationship with the developer. https://better.fyi https://better.fyi From their website: "Better is hand-crafted by Small Technology Foundation, a tiny two-person-and-one-husky not-for-profit striving for social justice in the digital network age. We curate our own unique blocking rules for Better based on the principles of Ethical Design." Nice app. Be aware, Better actually allows most compact, low compute, non-tracking ads. Anyone who wants to serve me respectful ads that don't abuse my privacy or my compute resources are absolutely welcome on my system. Happy to help. Non-respectful ads are not welcome. While I'm promoting small Indie browser extension makers, I also like the StopTheMadness extension. This kills lots of rude click/function hijacking that is done by many obnoxious web pages. It also stops a lot of tracking code. Again, I have no relationship with the developer. https://underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/ https://underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/ Between the two of these, browsing becomes much less user hostile.
