Ublock origin is the only way to fly these days. I’ve walked a few family members through using the Element Zapper and explained how the plugin identifies which domain is loading the content and why websites do that now. They’ve all taken to it pretty well.
Having a default backup browser for sites that give too much grief when they can’t get all of their spyware to work correctly definitely keeps me sane and made adoption less stressful for the uninitiated. I give myself three or four tries to make a shitty site work before either abandoning the site and trying an alternative or, if it’s important and necessary, loading it raw in the backup browser.
+1 for LibreWolf too. Dope project.

Yeah, Librewolf is kinda the best web browser. I still need to use Firefox for some things that just have to be invasive, like I think my bank needs the browser to be a little less locked down, but man I love just browsing the web and only seeing what I want to see.
