Ask HN: What is your current setup for the Web?

Title says it all. By web I means today's paywalled, ad-ridden and bloated websites (imho, of course) - how do you browse them, without any annoyances? On mobile, and on desktop.

For instance - I use uBlock Origin (with some great filter lists by yokoffing on github), Buster and Imagus on desktop; HyperWeb on iOS, and NextDNS on every device I have. I also have a couple of site-specific extensions for RYM, Letterboxd, X/Twitter et al.

    I have a similar setup to yours. I feel like the main thing missing at the moment is getting a list of all the sites that 1ft or 13ft support and setting up automatic redirection for them.
