In my experience the main issue with piracy is the ads.

Nothing better than trying to watch a show with my kid then having an ad pop-up with a girl fucking herself

Adblockers or torrents mate. I've not seen an ad in over 18 years.

I've been meaning to look into adblockers but I really only use these sites for shit that's not on streaming services so I don't really think about it until it arises

Firefox + ublock origin would be your best scenario for privacy and security. Privacy because all these ads track your page loads and attempt to generate a unique id for your browser based on your loading time of certain pixels, and security because nearly half of all ads (and more than half of all links on google search and nearly all ads on google search) are viral loads just waiting for an accidental click.
