If he’s living with you, you could try to block it at the router/firewall level.
On the machine, I’d just make it really slow rather than block it outright. Make it as unpleasant as possible to access those sites without blocking them outright. Making them slow makes it look like the sites suck. Blocking them makes it look like you did it or some conspiracy thing.
But if he lives with you, blocking them from your network is perfectly ethical imo
I would strongly suggest this as your first choice. Bad website experiences are like alarm clocks that use your favorite song. You may love it at first, but you’ll hate the website within a couple months, every time.
OP If you’re really going to do this (questionable imo) then you’d need to find some kind of list that gets updated automatically. Because if you just make fox and OAN suck he’s more likely to find some other, worse thing you never heard of.
But if you do do this behind his back and he notices, you can pretty much forget about him ever trusting you for anything again. Those are the stakes.

Is there any way of adding even more ads and pop ups? Like an anti AdBlock?
Squid proxy, replace all images on those domains with penis enlarging ads. He can then read whatever he likes, but he has to put up with that.
