    I set up firefox and ublock for my inlaws, but they only use edge.

    They like to read some rag newspaper website and the difference is STAGGERING, the ads it has everywhere, I can’t describe it. They always use edge, on purpose. Deliberately.

      Change to Mullvad or Adguard DNS. It’s not perfect, but doesn’t require manifest V2 so it works well even on edge.

      That said it’s even harder to fix issues caused by DNS-level adblocking than an extension so consider at your own risk.

      My mom is the same, she uses Firefox but I was hesitant to add ublock because if it break something she would have no idea on how to fix it. So I installed Librewolf and changed so it remembers login to make it simpler for her, she never uses it. I think she is so used to the ads that she believes something is wrong when the ads are no longer there.
