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.

It's also way easier to just tell my mom (for example) to use Brave, rather than explaining extensions, why "uBlock Origin" vs "uBlock", etc.

Single app, all devices, works great out of the box.
