I sent my father in law an article the other day, and he wound up clicking a scam ad that got his computer hacked. He showed it to me, it wasn't the most obviously scammy ad I've seen- plenty of people who didn't grow up with the internet might have fallen for it!

But anyway, on my laptop, the article was just clean text and a byline with some well-formatted images.

Failing to install ublock on your parents computer is a form of abuse! :-)
