One strategy that I've found useful for changing my behavior: changing browsers settings to not recommend sites or fill in urls from any source be it history, favorites/bookmarks, search etc. By not having the url auto fill it makes me type urls in manually from memory and this usually involves enough purposeful cognitive effort that I can stop any automatic visiting to sites. I've also uninstalled the browser from my phone (disabled built in browser on lineage and uninstalled firefox). If there is a rare time I really, really need a browser I'll download and install it for a specific task and uninstall it right after.
