Why do I need to pay for the service that I don't use anymore not £1.79 but ~£20 for a year? Okay, my mistake, I am okay to lose these £20, not a big deal.
But if the service ignores customer requests to the billing@ email, then that's not a good sign.
I stopped using NextDNS when I forgot to cancel subscription and contacted then immediately to issue a refund. They ignored my request, were no answers at all.
I am not alone, this is a typical behavior. At least it was 3 years ago.
Based on the description it solves exactly your issue, but requires iOS 26/macOS 26.
Personally I use Adguard + their DNS. This combination is very good, but WebView blocking will be working with the DNS part, not content blocker. So alternative is PiHole.

Yes, the same, unfortunately. This rail guard works for only a couple of days or weeks when the perception is fresh. After that, it's always "select, copy, paste, confirm" without thinking.
I believe the better approach is to practice "Chaos Monkeys" and improve the infrastructure to survive even if someone makes a mistake.
Funny, I recalled a tool called "molly-guard" which solves the problem when you want to reboot a Unix server, but can be on the wrong one. It asks to type the server name.
Anybody who rebooted a wrong server can say that this tool is brilliant.
It's not strictly related to the original theme, but I want to mention this.
Ansible implementation is okay, but not perfect (plus, this is difficult to implement properly). For cases like file changes, it works, but if you install a package and rely on it later, the --check command will fail. So I am finding myself adding conditions like "is this a --check run?"
Ansible is treated as an idempotent tool, which it's not. If I delete a package from the list, then it will pollute the system until I create a set of "tearing-down" jobs.
