Serious question, if your wife is a non technical ordinary end user, isn't it better to install ublock origin in Chrome and Firefox and somewhat reduce her risk of clicking on something malicious, by not showing the ads at all?

Yes, under any and all circumstances, this is the correct thing to do for safety and sanity.
When I get roped into doing "fix my computer" work for friends and family, it's also best to slap down a hosts blockfile. People get into some things I can't even imagine; it's like they're a one year-old sticking everything in sight in their mouths, just clicking on everything.
