Today, we have to start to recognize the disabled people that use the internet; flashing ads and such can cause episodes and in some cases send people to the hospital;

We need a program called, the vertigo program, stops all pop-ups and flashing ads; and I mean all of them.

I used to use Adblock Plus in my IE 11 but found it was causing IE to stop working in Win 10.

In it I had our friends at www.majorgeeks.com white listed as well as a website I occasionally use which has dynamic data that was blocked otherwise.

I have uBlock Origin installed in my Firefox but as I rarely use Firefox, I just have uBlock installed as a matter of course.

These may help your friend.

I know what flashing images can do sometimes as years ago it had the effect of producing an epileptic fit in a then young friend of my sons.
