Any recommendations for a good ad blocker and other precautions to take?

I use adnauseam (https://adnauseam.io/), which is built on top of ublock origin, and it works pretty well.

The generic nuclear option to hide terrible web design, bypass (some) paywalls, and improve performance 1000x is to disable javascript. ublock and adnauseam both have a button to disable all javascript on a page, which is handy when reading articles on sites filled with garbage.
