According to my kids there's a few flash game sites like y8 (perhaps not flash, IIRC that got killed off, but you get the idea) where you're blocked for adblocking. As soon as I have white listed a site they'll find a new one. So they have ublock origin installed, but permanently switched off.

And for some reason at least one kid actually likes youtube ads smh

You literally install and forget it's there, it's not hard at all. Tell your friends their basic. 😆 Also, thank you for fighting the good fight. ✊
