People suggesting DNS filtering are missing the point. Yes, people should do it, but for cosmetic stuff you need a browser extension.
Anyway. I used to use Adguard. Like you, I noticed how slow it was making Safari. Worse, sometimes it simply wouldn’t work even though it was supposedly active.
I gave Ghostery a try. It worked. No slowdowns or anything. Then I settled for Wipr. You can’t add custom lists to it, but at least it works as intended and doesn’t seem to slow down Safari.
I only ditched Ghostery because I don’t exactly trust them. Otherwise it was working perfectly, too.
PS: I am obviously also using a custom DNS server. I’m a ControlD customer.

Yep. It isn’t a full-on app like Adguard.
Here’s the succinct privacy notice. Nothing whatsoever is collected.
Pretty sure it isn’t.
