I’ve been trying for 3 hours now: is there a way to block specific sites so they don’t show up when you search for something?

I can’t tell if I’m going crazy and the answers just right infront of me. I am so sick of seeing useless YouTube videos whenever I try to search something up on brave or any browser and I want to block YouTube from even showing up. I’ve been searching everywhere and this was what I’ve gotten so far: Brave and most browsers apparently don’t have a block feature for their iOS apps

  1. I was told to try to block it through screen time ( ofc all it does is stop the videos from loading but it STILL SHOWS UP in the search
  2. Get a site blocker app: i literally got multiple and each one was more useless than the last
  3. Apparently there used to be just a plain and simple block site part on apples settings but it doesn’t exist anymore,
  4. Trying the screen time thing again ( still doesn’t work, who could’ve guessed? )

I swear it should be easy to just say “ I don’t wanna see this, take it off when I search for something, “ but I’ve been here for now 4 hours and have gotten nowhere. If anyone could help I’ll test out all suggestions and say which of them work. Thanks,
