Interesting. Yes; it is a slimy bait-and-switch ad for Disney's newest animated series - ultimately an ad for their streaming service. I will not support them by posting links here.

Every day I consider saying 'to hell with it' and going back to Safari.
Vivaldi, by one of the creators (and former CEO of the original Opera, still seems decent, they don't have any bullshit like a "buy now pay later" extension or a rendering engine that inserts ads.
Safari does not seem to have a robust adblocker solution. I could be mistaken but it seems like you can only install extensions through their app store? So convoluted compared to Chrome. It is blazing fast though. :/
I've been using an adblocker on Safari in combination with either NextDNS or PiHole. Works not too bad. Only reason I use Firefox/Chrome is because I'm a frontend dev.
