There's no need to convince them. Just install Firefox with uBlock Orign on their machine and set it as default. I guarantee they'll enjoy the new and improved web.
Can confirm. I helped my dad switch from a Chromebook to an M1 MacBook Air. He made the comment that it was like going from a moped to a Cadillac. I thought he was talking about how good the Mac is. But he was in fact talking about the fact that I had installed a default browser with ad-blockers.
Yeah. I install uBlock Origin on every browser I come across. Everybody tells me how much better the web is afterwards. Most of the time they can't even articulate why. I know why.
Chrome or Edge will end up their default browser in less than month through some tricky dark pattern.
Install uBlock Origin on those browsers too. It's not perfect but will still significantly improve the status quo.
The whole premise of the discussion is that uBlock Origin is going away, and uBO Lite is a mediocre replacement.
Always have. Always ends up being back to Chrome or Edge next time I get my hands on it.
That's the problem: you have to do it for them, without even being asked. They aren't going to ask for it themselves, because they don't even understand that ads can be blocked. So the whole thing depends on these non-technical people having technical family members to do this stuff for them.
