    I've used the AdGuard browser extension for a long time, and like it a lot, but I was browsing the AdGuard website (adguard.com, the official one) and when scrolling through the welcome page, I found a button labeled "Download" instead of "Install" the the rest, now, I have Firefox set to always ask when a website tries to download something, and it's the official AdGuard website, so I figured it was safe to satisfy my curiosity

    AdGuard DNS - I found the filtering ability of Covenant Eyes somewhat underwhelming, so instead I use AdGuard DNS. In case you don't know, DNS (Domain Name Server) filtering is incredibly useful for blocking porn. Furthermore, if you pay for AdGuard VPN, you get AdGuard DNS thrown in for free (so you get privacy AND web filtering). AdGuard has other products as well that can be used in conjunction with the VPN and DNS servers. (adguard.com)

    I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on the Mac and it works great, but for Safari the best option I've found is AdGuard (https://adguard.com). However, it is nowhere near as effective as uBlock Origin since Safari did the Manifest V3 thing.

    There's nothing that offers all these features and is free. But if you'd like to try Orion browser by Kagi [1], you can install uBlock Origin and many other web extensions for it on Mac, iOS and iPadOS. A paid alternative that is similar (at least for blocking specific elements) is AdGuard [2].

    Please don't! But if you do decide to use other websites, ensure you have an adblocker/anti-malware protection installed like AdGuard, uBlock Origin, or MalwareBytes, or access the websites via a free VM like VirtualBox, Microsoft's Application Guard, or iOS Safari on iPhone.

    If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.
