I install AdBlock plus on all my family member's machines. That, and I also install NoScript.

They're ordinary users, and they use adblocking without even knowing it.

Noscript? It is a bold move to break more than half of the internet for them. Did they learn to use the Noscript-menu when something does not work?

Yes, I taught them what to do if the website doesn't work. They're surprisingly adept now at only accepting domains that look trustworthy, selectively. My parents being 60+ years old, I'm also amazed at it...
