The approach that works for me is to get more devices. I'm not really attracted to my phone, because it sucks as a computer. I can tap out maybe 10wpm as opposed to 140 at a desktop. One tiny screen. Swipe pinch zoom blah instead of a mouse. I only use the web browser on that if I'm actually needing to view something while mobile. Most of the apps I have on it are libre communications apps, and a few things like grocery store etc. Nothing I'm ever wanting to poll, and I don't even really pay attention to notifications.
Surveillance industry crapps go on a separate device I just leave at home. I don't disable notifications or even swipe to dismiss them - just ignore. The whole thing is perma-silent and generally forgtten until I want to actually do something that requires a mobile app.
The majority of my usage is on a desktop computer. Surveillance industry websites definitely make themselves harder to use so you waste more time and never quite get your full fix, but you still somewhat do hit a natural satiation limit, much more than you would through a tiny porthole that fits in your pocket.
I haven't done the sit-on-couch-and-watch-TV thing for a year, but obviously I use a real laptop for that rather than falling into the "tablet" (aka big phone) trap.
