Adblocker is one of the first things I installed for my mother on her new computer. For me seeing ads is an annoyance, but for her it's a real problem. She can't instantly distinguish adverts from content - particularly things like Adsense.
- throwit1979 14y agoHow is one unable to distinguish ads from content? Even without the visual cues of div separation and "Ads By ____" inset, there's a huge difference between the following: "The history of knitting, yarns, and crochet" "Thousands of Knitting Yarns FREE! Get quick and easy patterns today!"

- infectoid 14y agoCompletely agree with this usage. If I didn't install an adblocker on my mothers computer she'd have 14 extra toolbars installed in her browser, 3 different virus scanners running and be out of pocket every month for some service she's been convinced she needs. It would be good if there was an option to allow for "Parent friendly Ads".
