Just tell him to use Chrome/Firefox and Adblock Plus.

Better to use uBlock Origin, which won’t let through “acceptable” ads. If you really want to protect the kid, and are willing to set it up or teach them, uMatrix is good too.

It won't help if the ad is part of the actual video itself, though. Only video editing can undo that damage.

What does AdBlock+ give what UBlock does not? AFAIK they both use the same block lists - easylist and friends. Is there anything to gain when one runs both?
