My dad has dementia, but wont give up his laptop. uBlock keeps him from clicking literally every scam on the internet. My life will become a nightmare of tech support.

I'm sure it's something you've already investigated but a thin client or pi with PiHole still pretty effectively nukes all ads without ublock.

Wait - are you suggesting his dad connects through a raspberry pi to filter out ads?

Not exactly. You put a device on your network that you let handle DNS and it black holes everything that matches the blocklists

Does it help with the random pop up crap they add to their site, like the one encouraging people to sign in? Most of my custom filters in UBO are things I've added over the years to keep YouTube usable.
