Ad block for Edge?

Forums:

Recently started using Edge instead of IE, which was becoming slow and clunky, with some things no longer compatible. One thing it was compatible with was Ad-block

Is there a free ad-block program that will work well for Edge? Tired of all the new-to-me ads.

I been to the edge
And there I stood and looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby
 

Lol.

I too would like to block U2 from my computer.

U2's Bono issues apology for automatic Apple iTunes album download

Oct 15, 2014 - The free download of the band's album was announced – and happened virtually simultaneously – when U2 performed at the Apple iPhone ...

I mainly use 'Opera' browser,  which has ad-block included for free.  There's a free pseudo-VPN also.  I think they were a European company but China bought them a while back.

What’s your AOL email addy?

>>>>China bought them a while back

So everything you do online is compromised. At least they are getting the best D&C streams.

 

 

How does Firefox's private window work, are there ads there as well?

Edge is still a Microsoft product...no bueno 

If you have an Apple product, you are full-decade away from what a PCs are doing.

You are better off on a Not-so-Smart Phone ~

I really don't have a problem with ads on most websites. I'm from the school of "I can ignore ads but probably won't pay to see your site ad free." Somebody has to foot the bill for quality web content. Might as well be the advertisers. 

That being said, Edge Mobile has done a deal with Ad Blocker Plus that includes it in the browser. MS is working on a beta for Edge that includes the same. Soon come. 

I like MS Edge better than other browsers and MS keeps raising the bar with productivity features that integrate well into my daily workflow and leisure surfing.

You're the same one who told us the feds facial recognition wasn't ready for "primetime". Then the fed used it to instantaneously identify the Annapolis shooter

So tell us what magic software features does Windows 10 have over MacOS?

Tony, I was with you when ads were simple images. But news sites are now sending 10+MB of crap when you want to read a text news story. It takes 10s of seconds to load.

You are footing the bill:

Visiting the home page of Boston.com every day for a month would cost the equivalent of about $9.50 in data usage just for the ads.

Was reading an article the other day that says China is at the point that they are full time tracking almost all of the urban population in China with a 99.999 hit rate. 

Best adblocker out there by far! Now available for Edge.
