I always had the worst time with the mess of vowels in "beautiful". Then in high school I had a crush on a girl named Bea. Thus was was born "Bea, u beautiful"
Best 2 weeks of my life

Not a direct answer to the question, but relevant; they make a film you can put on your windows that holds them together when shattered. This could theoretically cause a grenade to bounce instead of penetrating. Not an expert, do your research before assuming it will work.

I used simple note for a long time and enjoyed it. Did have some occasional sync conflicts resulting in lost notes, which was frustrating. Now I'm hosting a Joplin server and really enjoying it. I'm not actually sure if Joplin can be used in a browser, but to my knowledge it has apps for every OS.
I always say money doesn't buy happiness, but it is a prerequisite. Starving homeless people don't have a lot of opportunity to seek whatever makes them happy.
For boys, the incel and alpha male shit is what I see really affecting their life trajectories. Once they get into those mindsets they start to repel good influences and quickly end up in echo chambers. The only people who will put up with them are equally toxic and they feed off each other and quickly spiral. A good boy can turn into a woman hating rebel that doesn't listen to any adults shockingly quickly.
Unfortunately, I do not know specifically where this content lives for you to block. I'd definitely start with YouTube and tiktok. Also, talk to your kids about this stuff! It's great that you're trying to responsibly manage their Internet access. A lot of parents don't, and everything you're protecting them from on their electronics they can easily pick up from others at school. Even if you homeschool to prevent this eventually they'll grow up and leave the nest. The only holistic way to give them the best shot (no method is guaranteed, they still have free will) is to teach them the critical thinking skills and morals they need to identify and reject this stuff on their own.
Don't worry, they'll be back next election cycle. That's when they pretend to care so much and fight. All the candidates that genuinely care, on both sides, get shut down by the big dogs before they ever make it to the public eye.
Tear some holes in it, sprinkle in nuts, and leave in your backyard. Congratulations: you now have a rodent hotel!

NYT Wirecutter is good, though they don't fully respect money and like to recommend stuff with crazy pricetags. Consumer reports has limited products but deep data. For kitchenware, cult flav and prudent reviews rock. America's test kitchen is decent too.
For random crap not listed on any of the above I just Google "best X". Click the top few articles and reddit threads. Specialty subreddits (like for vacuums) where they exist and buy it for life are especially valuable. Look for the things that get recommended by multiple sources and good reviews on online storefronts. For some product categories video reviews can reveal things written ones can't.
Also remember the rule on how many things you look at. I'm sure I'm butchering the details, but a study was done a while back that showed people got the most valuable ratio of time invested to quality of purchase when they researched something like 60% of options. By this point you typically have a decent idea of what is and isn't good and can make an educated decision without digging deep on every possible option. I typically narrow down to a top few options pretty quickly and only dig deep on those.
Edit: Also, consider your friend group. If you have a friend who you know often does deep research in their shopping and/or is deep in the specific world you're shopping for, shoot them a text. I've saved many hours of research consulting with friends who already did the research. And if the product category is a hobby of theirs they are often ecstatic to spend time with you teaching and offering personalized recommendations.
