    Maybe if we tell them uBlock Origin is a condom for their browser, they’ll understand?

    What a sentence to type out

      I see it that way. You don’t dive into some strange without protection, don’t let your computer do it with websites.

        It’s always difficult with digital matters, since there isn’t anything tangible and concrete to show.

        Like, there’s no shady person following them with a notebook and reporting back to their boss all day, but that is kinda what’s happening, just invisible to the user.

        My pihole is pretty good at showing family how many connections their apps make are completely unnecessary to their actual functions. That’s a good illustration to start with.
