Personal Consumer Issues • How to block ads and auto-play on iPhone?

After a decade of using Android, I bought an iPhone 16.

What are the best browser/extension/settings to block ads AND to block auto-play videos?

I've configured Firefox and Brave so that each effectively blocks most ads, but I can't get either to block auto-plays.

I've turned the following off in the iOS settings:

• Settings > Accessibility > [Vision] Motion > Auto-Play Animated Images

• Settings > Accessibility > [Vision] Motion > Auto-Play Video Previews

Neither had any effect.

I also turned those setting off after adding Firefox and Brave to the Per-App Settings:

• Settings > Accessibility > [General] Per-App Settings

That also had no effect.

I'm not set on Brave or Firefox. I would be happy to use Safari or any other browser. Just looking for a setup that will block both ads and auto-plays.
