I need an adblocker for my grandma for her own safety who uses chrome. It needs to be unobtrusive and have little to no buttons.

Brave you tard

You dont understand how stubborn the elderly are. If a single thing is different she will complain.

uBlock Origin Lite still works for Chrome, it's just not as good and you can't select your filter own lists.

why do people act like firefox is some hacker man shit? Just install ff with ublock you fucking retard, your grandma won't know the difference to chrome
>>
>>107524526
This
>>
>>107524516
Just block it at the router level
>>
>>107524516
ublock lite is available on chrome, fuck off.

Have you actually used it? Looks interesting.

>block all ads
>watch some ads to gain passive crypto
which way
>>
>>107529832
>passive
Thats a weird way to say "worthless"
>>
ignore the retards suggesting brave, just get ungoogled chromium and install ublock there
brave is the definition of obtrusive because she WILL get fucking popups about their gay cyrpto scheme (and she'll have to see niggers on the homepage)

The only right answer so far

>>107524516
You can still load up ublock on chrome. Just not from their store, and you'll have to change some settings around.
>>
>>107530349
Yeah the solution that takes a level of actual skill to set up is definitely the midwit take.
>>
>>107530408
lmao
>>
>>107530408
Router blocking is not as powerful as ublock
>>
>uHide lite
lmao
>>
>>107530419
If you do it right it's pretty close, and more far reaching than just the browser.
>>
>>107530472
Your second point is right of course, but I avoid services that serve me ads, so only the browser is relevant and as I said for that purpose an add on is better. It’s also less fiddling.
>>
>>107530472
>If you do it right it's pretty close
not even close, actually
>and more far reaching than just the browser
that's not the thread subject however

you would be stupid to only rely on dns blocking
>>
>>107530408
>takes "skill" and effort to overcomplicate things
>less effective than the "simple as" solution
Literally midwit. No self awareness?

>>107530419

Are you stupid fucks capable of reading the OP at all? DNS blocking is the best option if granny wont use anything other than chrome.
>>
>>107530606
No. uBlock Lite is you stupid fucking dipshit
>>
>>107530606
Are you not capable of reading the thread at all?

buddy can't you just change the firefox icon into the chrome icon and replace the name as well?
>>
>>107530639
are you blind? "ublock origin lite" is not the same as "ublock origin". since intelligence is genetic there's no hope for your grandmother anyway. it's only a matter of time until she gets scammed or pisses away her social security in a casino.
>>
>>107532504
I guess I'm also retarded. meant to reply to
>>107530606
>>
>>107532457
Why would you even ask this question. And no, this isn't a rhetorical question. Do you think the interface of Firefox and Chrome look even remotely similar? Do you think the buttons and options in the menu are anywhere near similar?
>>
>>107524516
You could install a pi-hole. It's mostly a set it and forget it at the network level and it works even on phones and tablets.
>>
>>107524516
>Cant use firefox because grandma levels of simple brained.
Just get grandma a macbook and put ublock lite on safari, and tell her to turn off the "red shield" when she checks her bank account or the AARP website. And back on when she leaves those sites. Do that, and your illiterate family members will be set for life. There's really no use use case for digital freedom for these people. They just need the computer equivalent of a toyota camry.

this is made by the same guy as the real ubo but it works on chrome/chromium
it isn't as good as what you get with with real ubo but it's better than nothing. apparently it also works on safari
>>
My parents and grandparents use Firefox.
You fucked yp by installing Chrome in the first place. Best you can do now is install uBlock Origin Lite
>>
>>107534233
5 minutes in userchrome.css and your firefix will look like chrome
Its not as if your grandma will even open settings anyway
>>
>>107524516
>Sorry grandma they don't make chrome anymore but this one looks a lot like it and has the same stuff, no you can't have the other one it doesn't exist anymore, enjoy.
Then just install trannyfox (or the easier option, Brave with all the extras like wallets etc turned off/hidden and google set to be the main search engine which can be done in like 20 seconds one time ever).
>>
>>107530084
Why not just change the fucking homepage then retard
>>
>>107535292
Until an update breaks it and you have to drive over there and fix it
>>
>>107524516
Just teach her to use two browsers.
I have FireFox with uBlockOrigin and then Chrome as a backup in case something doesn't work. But that's only happened once ever and I taught how her to copy the URL.
>>
>>107535343
So just do it. You love your grandma right?
>>
>>107535479
Ok
>>
>>107530065
How is it worthless if it can be used to buy things or transferred to fiat money?
>>
>>107535534

>>107535555
Oh i thought you meant crypto in general. The brave crypto extension did always sound too good to be true when i first heard about it.
>>
>>107535646
Glad to have cleared that up then.
>>
>>107524528
Unplug the PC, take away the power cable, let her scream for a few days.
She'll be much more receptive after a few days.

The elderly are the way they are because the behavorial management parts of brain partially regress to an infant state.
Basically, they tend to throw a "but I don't wa---nna!!! I wan' my mommm----y!!"-tantrum.
There's the whole "respect your elders"-creed which is force-feeding you the societal norm that you can't tell them off like a little kid and let them stew in their own tears; but you just have to get over that.

>>107524516
>>107524528
Obvious rage bait, but normies don't care "things changing" they love it when things change in every update. Chrome changes button locations, names, menus, features etc. in every update. They don't care. Just change the Firefox icon and name to Chrome and they will be happy with their "Chrome".
