Hi all,
My Windows laptop is in for repair, so I am using my Mac full-time for the time being. Which is no bad thing, because there is a lot I like and I want to be more proficient on macOS than I currently am.
Anyway, on Windows I have gotten quite used to the much cleaner and more accessible browsing experience with an ad blocker, and I am wondering what, if anything, people use on macOS?
Thanks for any help.

I use uBlockOrigineLight
I think it's called UboLite or something on the appstore? I don't know how effective it still is with all the manifest v3 thing from google but it was recommended to me from here 4-5 months ago and it works pretty well for my use case.
Happy user of Brave
I use Brave browser on the mac and it works great, it even blocks YouTube videos. On Safari I use Gostery (forgive the spelling(, it works yet on your first run of Safari after installing the blocker you may need sighted assistant to turn it on.
Thanks @TheBlindGuy07 and @Maldalain
Thanks for these recommendations. I use UBlock Origin on Windows and have been very happy with it, so if it's from the same developer, I think I will start there.
uBlock Origin Lite

I love it! It works on iOS as well which is a good thing, since at least in the United States, Apple still forces everyone to use the underlying WebKit engine for web browsers, so I might as well use Safari.
Wipr
I use Wipr on iOS, and am really happy with it. The dev is also mindful of accessibility.
I use AdGuard for Safari
I use Adguard for Safari on my iPhone and Macbook using Safari. I like it.
Vinegar and baking soda
These are two handy dandy Safari extensions for blocking all sorts of ads. when i acquired them, they were $3.99 each Canadian, on the mac and iOS app stores. .
