I think installing an AdBlocker is one of the first things I do when asked to help someone.
While I understand and regret the impact on people's business models, it seems to really mitigate issues for those less tech-savy (anecdotally that is).
Something like uBlock Origin or the like might be a good idea to avoid this issue.
- robgibbons 7y agoI install Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin for my Mom's computer. I also showed her how to disable them temporarily if a site isn't working as she expects.
- mosselman 7y agoI find, after some testing, that Privacy Badger has quite some impact on the speed with which pages load, think around 1 second in some cases, which I find a lot. I therefore recommend against this setup, which I have run for months now, after finding out about the performance impact. Instead I'd recommend using Firefox with its built-in blocking and adding ublock origin to that.
