| This requires a lot of things which aren't obvious: 1) the person to realize the site is broken because of something on their end (as opposed to the site being broken because of something "on the internet") 2) the person to realize the cause of the breakage is ublock 3) the person to be able to find the ublock logo (not always obvious; some browsers hide extensions, sometimes people don't know where to look, sometimes they don't know "the little red shield" == "the ad blocker causing my problems") 4) the person to understand what the big power symbol does - if you only click the ublock logo, it's not obvious to a layperson that the power symbol is a button 5) the person to be comfortable clicking the button, and not more afraid of "breaking the internet" than they are desiring to fix the issue I do informal tech support for family members who could not get past steps 1 or 2, even if I've explained it to them. We who spend our lives on the Internet take a lot of the things we grok about it for granted, but someone who only occasionally uses a computer won't necessarily have the foundation to make the connections we do when faced with a problem like this. |
