MacOS Sequoia and iOS 18 Beta 5 adds a Distraction Control feature in Safari.
Its pretty simple to activate.
Simply hit the page icon to the left of the URL bar and then select Hide Distracting Items.

It then plays an animation where the page element disappears like atoms being vaporized and scattered into the ether.
It can also delete those popups to sign up for a subscription on The New York Times website.
To note, this doesnt delete ads on a page.
