When I set a computer for any of my friends and family, I drop uBlock Origin on it and show them briefly how it works, usually using cnn or similar sites an example. It solves 99% of any computer problems they run into.
- zolbrek 3y agoI just have them use Brave.
- Krasnol 3y agoThis is no solution. There was a time when Chrome started to be bundled with every freeware out there. Most of the people where I did IT-Support ended up using chrome at some point. They didn't even realize when or how they changed a browser. Some didn't even know what a browser IS. They just open "the internet". I had installed Firefox with proper protection before that.
- zolbrek 3y agoWhy isn't it a solution? It works pretty well for them, I don't get any calls or messages asking why something isn't doing what it's supposed to.
- Krasnol 3y agoGood for you. I ended up with a bunch of users who used chrome without adblocker, downloading crap. In the end, I diverted the chrome shortcut to Firefox, which is good enough with ublock. Wouldn't install them, Brave. Don't want them to come back to me asking about that crypto custerfu.
