Safari - is there a way to block "sign up for newsletter" prompts?

[Scott Baret]

Lately, almost every website I've visited has given me a prompt insisting I sign up for a newsletter. I get enough junk email as is and don't need any more "straight to trash" messages, especially since they tend to bury actual messages I need to read.

The prompts also tend to be disruptive, sometimes coming up when I'm scrolling through a website, focused on what it has to say.

We all know browsers do a good job today of blocking actual pop-up ads, which are pretty much a thing of the past. Unfortunately, these sign up prompts seem to be the new pop ups, and I am looking for anything that will block them at this point.

I'm OK with using Firefox or any Mozilla browser (i.e. Waterfox) if Safari has nothing available for it. I refuse to use Chrome because I do not like Google.

Any add-ons, scripts, etc to stop these annoying prompts is welcome.

A good content blocker (I like 1Blocker, but there are others too) that uses Safari's content blocking engine will let you hide annoying in-page elements. 1Blocker has a pretty nice "visual chooser" to let you identify the thing you want to block - in the screenshot I just clicked on the left sidebar with user details, and it highlights the page element to be blocked with a red dashed line around it.

Edge is now my default. Turn off site preference for notifications, allow for some. And AdGuard Pro for filtering ads and nuisances.

Any particular websites you can name that would give us an opportunity to see if what we have works?

Hush isn't perfect, but seems to become better and better at squashing most of those annoying prompts.
