if you're on apple... iCloud Private Relay.

though you may need to be more clear on the safety / privacy benefits you expect to gain

iCloud Private Relay has the benefit of more accepted by payment processors etc, but the downside is that because it doesn't mask your country of origin the UK censorship rules still apply whilst using it.

I've found that Mullvad generally has the best privacy reputation, but I've also been blocked by a lot of sites whilst using it.

The mainstream consumer VPNs like Nord, Proton etc aren't as great for privacy but I suspect they're less likely to be blocked. I'd love to have more data to justify this though.

Yes that Safari only? Has that changed? Though I don't think it offers much - esp if you compare it to a VPN or even NextDNS or so.
