    How do I stop a website from redirecting me when I click or something like KF when I click the download button? Need a way for it to work on iOS and desktop too but mostly iOS as I don’t use my Mac much for browser based activity

    first of all Portmaster with proper setup;

    next either Brave browser,
    or Firefox/Chrome with uBlock Origin (although Portmaster should be blocking all the same on deeper level)

    Firefox with NoScript is the way to go for blocking JS that hijacks clicks. uBlock also works, but NoScript is super strict.
