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

I know most people trash on Brave, but honestly, if you disable its crypto features (which is just a click away), it's actually a decent browser that blocks almost all ads I see, even on iOS!

For example, YouTube has no ads in iOS Brave. Since iOS doesn't allow real browsers and extensions, Brave has been a sanity-saver for me.

Pair that with uBlock on desktop and you're golden. 98% of the sites don't break at all either.

Safari on iOS does allow extensions. It also is a “real” browser, whatever that means. iOS does not, however, allow _alternate rendering engines_, which is different.

It allows one real browser. The rest might as well just be reskins for how little it matters.
