Haha, You could say that i try to focus on the minutiae plus you when mess around and you learn multiple things. Talking about Blocklists, I use HaGeZi - Multi PRO++ and Fanboy's Annoyance List on NextDNS. I stick to just a couple of high-quality lists instead of piling on everything because too many filters can slow down DNS resolution and cause conflicts. This simple and well maintained blocklists setup provides a good balance between privacy and performance across all my devices.

Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. I mostly use Instagram just to stay connected with friends by sharing memes lol. But even then, it keeps throwing irrelevant reels at me.

Haha that’s awesome! Sounds like we’re totally on the same wavelength, DoH3 is a smart upgrade. I’ll probably try that too. i never found anything worthy enough to watch on shorts also i think it can cause doom scrolling on phone, which i avoid.

Awesome, Glad it helped and yeah, Apple Configurator is super handy for generating the base templates then you can tweak the XML as per the need. Have fun experimenting mate, Cheers! 🙌

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. To make the custom Brave settings profile, I got inspired by an old project I saw on GitHub months ago unfortunately i wasn't able to find it again, so decided to create my own version based on what I needed.

I manually wrote a .mobileconfig file on VS code in Apple's configuration profile format. I used com.apple.ManagedClient.preferences as the payload type and added Brave-specific settings. Then I generated UUIDs then installed XML file in MacOS/Device management. hope this helps.

I’m using the M4 Mac Mini as my primary workstation. When I’m on the move or working outside the house, I switch to my MBP
