i get that point, but do you think these people scroll lemmy to get this advice?
i don’t do unsolicited installs of ublock or any other extension exactly for this reason, because they will run into issue unable to handle it. and then next time, you see them using google chrome instead of the firefox you have fine-tuned for them, because “something was not working” and it did work in chrome 🤷♂️
I mean, it’s not like it’s a time-consuming thing to do. I haven’t checked in with everyone, but at least one person is still using the setup two years later and is grateful for it so I call that a win. But my original point was about not making assumptions that people who use ublock are going to be tech savvy.

but you have to join these two statements together. ok, some subset of ublock users may be technically illiterate friends or relatives of yours, but these people are unlikely to search for problems they encounter on lemmy, they will probably go to you. which makes my original statement still valid.
