Adguard AdBlocker is another way to block ads in Microsoft Edge. Ad blocking in Edge: several ways How to disable pop-ups in edge browser

Most browsers have some sort of solution for blocking ads, banners, and pop-ups, popunders and clickunders. So, any Chromium-based browsers are easily installed, including ad blockers. But there is no such blocker. Meanwhile, users in it.

Setting up pop-up blockers in Edge

Adfender blocks ads in any browser

Fortunately, there is the possibility of blocking ads with third-party applications that work independently of browsers. But when using such programs, you should be extremely careful, because fraudsters often use the user's desire to remove ads for their own purposes, slipping some kind of malicious software in the form of blockers. Which not only does not block ads, but, on the contrary, can show ads in favor of intruders.

I recommend the Adfender program. This application is installed on the operating system and works regardless of the browser used. It also blocks ads in Edge. And also in Chrome, Firefox, Yandex browser and any other. Moreover, it is stated that it catches advertising banners not only in browsers, but also in instant messengers such as Skype.

The program has a volume of about 5 MB and is installed in a few clicks, without requiring configuration.

Everything just starts up and works.

This is what the main Adfender window looks like. Interface with a lot of settings and functions, but everything works by default.

Adfender also blocks teasers, popunders and clickanders. The program has two modes of operation - paid and free. After installation, it starts and works in Pro (paid) during the trial (trial) period. The paid version costs about $20 per year. However, it can be safely used in free mode at the end of the trial.

Review title of gerhard Microsoft nimmt Rücksicht auf die Nutzer

Mein PC wird nicht mit Werbemüll zugekleistert. Danke, da nur Microsoft hier auf die Benutzer Rücksicht nimmt! Das muss man sich schon bei der Installation und dem Kauf eines Betriebssystems überlegen. Die Frechheit einzelner Werbeunternehemen muss mit dem Beispiel eines eingeblendeten Textes: "HA ha, ad block überlistet", sicherlich nicht näher kommentiert werden. Gott sei dank, kann man sich solche Verhaltensweisen gut merken und keinesfalls das beworbene Produkt kaufen. Gleiches gilt für Browser und Software die einen Werbeblocker nicht zulassen. Eine wirklich gute Sache, die ich auch finanziell unterstütze. Schade, nun ist Microsoft doch vor der Werbeindustrie eingeknickt und mein AdBlock ist einfach weg. Na ja, habe auch nichts anderes erwartet. Einen schönen Tag. Nein, ich muss eine Korrektur machen. Es geht wieder. Danke. Geht wieder nicht, wer blockt Ad Block eigentlich immer und warum lässt Microsoft das zu ?

Windows 10 brought with it the new Microsoft Edge web browser (formerly known as Project Spartan). Microsoft Edge is the default browser on Windows 10 PCs and mobile devices, replacing Internet Explorer 11 and Mobile Internet Explorer.

About browser

Microsoft Edge has a lot of great features, including the cortana virtual assistant, Reading View, and the ability to annotate web pages. It also loads pages very quickly (and not only in benchmarks).

However, the Microsoft Edge browser doesn't support ad blocking to the same level as third-party extensions like Adblock Plus, so EdgeAdBlock was born. EdgeAdBlock allows you to block ads in Edge, which works like a simple ad filter and does exactly what its name suggests:

• it helps to block advertising banners;
• block flash ads;
• in the text of the ad;
• pop-up ads;
• other unwanted ads that may be installed without your knowledge.

What is Ad Blocking?

• Images;
• Animation;
• Text;
• JavaScript
• flash.

Block ads in Edge without additional software

Ad blocking in Edge is supported out of the box. Regular tools do not have such rich functionality, but you should pay attention to them. The only setting is available from the main menu. You need to go in and turn on the slider Block pop-ups.

Opening an additional menu
Move the slider to the right

Microsoft cares about you! Hahaha.

Adguard is the easiest way to block ads

• Official site:
• Free version for Windows: download

Real monster. The most popular anti-baner. Click on the picture to download.

The installation procedure is fast. Setting up an Adguard account is an optional feature, but not mandatory. Users should be aware that any web browser will be automatically closed during installation. Once launched, the anti-adware module is integrated into all installed browsers.

The initial configuration can be done at startup and changed afterwards. In the settings, you can select the interface language, the need to filter the https protocol (secure connections) and the filtering mode, the Adguard Internet filter.

Edge AdBlock is a small, simple, standalone ad blocker.

EdgeAdBlock has the following benefits:

1. Blocks ads on all web browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, IE not only Microsoft Edge.
2. Not only blocks ads on websites, but also in apps like Skype, Spotify and many more
3. Blocks spyware and too-malware if their servers are added to the file.
4. Portable, does not require java, .Net or any other cumbersome runtime environment.
5. Works in 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 systems.
6. Doesn't install any browser extensions, add-ons or plugins, so there won't be any privacy issues unlike other similar software solutions.

EdgeAdBlock also has its disadvantages:

1. EdgeAdBlock uses the Windows hosts file so it may need to be updated.
2. Security programs such as Avira or ESET often interpret changes to the hosts file as malware attacks. Other programs such as anti-viruses, anti-sypware, firewalls, can block the Windows hosts file so that no one can change it; in such a case, you will have to manually allow EdgeAdBlock to change the hosts file on your system.
3. Because EdgeAdBlock attempts to modify the hosts file, it may be considered a virus by some security software. This is just a false positive. Nothing else.

How to install EdgeAdBlock?

1. Download EdgeAdBlock
2. Double click EdgeAdBlock.zip and extract all files to any folder
3. Click Continue or Yes to confirm UAC elevation
4. Press "1" to enable EdgeAdblock and press "Enter" on your keyboard.

How to remove EdgeAdBlock?

1. Close the web browser and all running programs
2. Right click on "EdgeAdBlock.Bat" and select "run as administrator"
3. Select "2" to disable EdgeAdblock and press "Enter"
4. Delete the EdgeAdBlock folder.

Conclusion

The purpose of anti-banners and web filters is to block online advertisements (banners and messages) in order to view sites without garbage, to see only useful information. Apart from this, they also act as a shield against malicious and phishing web pages.

Edge is the latest development among Internet browsers from the well-known company Microsoft. This browser is included in the latest Windows 10 OS. The user receives the first access to the Global Network after buying a new computer or installing an operating system through this solution. Let's talk about a rather significant drawback of the application and how to fix it - the lack of the ability to block ads in Edge by default.

About Edge Browser

The browser in question was created from scratch, and is intended primarily to replace the outdated and rapidly losing popularity of Internet Explorer. It should be noted that Edge came out generally a worthy competitor to other browsers, although it is not without flaws. Of course, blocking ads in the Edge browser, if it was present from the very first version, would have brought Microsoft's solution much more popularity than it can be stated today. This is a really requested feature.

How to block ads in Edge

If we talk about blocking various advertising components of modern web pages through the browser in question, then this, of course, is an important function of the Internet browser for many. Users are accustomed to using similar functionality in other applications for browsing the web, which they used before the advent of Microsoft. But after all, any application is not evaluated by the presence or absence of one or another, albeit important, function. Many people like Edge in general, for example, for the speed of work and its presence by default in the OS. And about the additional features - solutions are found. Ad blocking in Microsoft Edge can be done using third-party software and plugins. From a certain point, it is also possible to activate the blocking function in the browser itself.

The very first method

At the time of the appearance of the first versions of the browser, there was no way to block "advertising garbage" in any way. But the first solution was found pretty quickly - blocking ads in Edge using the Adguard application. In general, this blocker shows itself as an excellent tool with which advertising banners and pop-ups are automatically removed. In addition, the software package, which is Adguard, includes components that allow you to speed up the Internet, as well as provide opportunities for comprehensive protection of the user and computer from online threats.

Advantages and disadvantages

Thus, with the help of Adguard, you can significantly improve the quality and security of Internet surfing in a browser from Microsoft. Ad blocking in Edge and other features that appear after installing Adguard make the browser almost perfect. The only stopping factor is the cost of the application, for some users it seems too high.

Plugins

With the development of the Edge browser and the release of major updates in the product in question, new, previously absent features have become available. In particular, it became possible to use add-ons from third-party developers - plugins. This expansion of functionality was welcomed by so many users, including because ad blocking in Edge has become more accessible and simple. It is enough to install the AdBlock extension from the Windows 10 app store, and in most cases you can forget about advertising on web pages.

Advantages and disadvantages of AdBlock

Probably, this method of solving the issue of removing annoying banners and other "garbage" site components can be considered the most popular, moreover, the plugin is distributed free of charge. The disadvantages include the fact that AdBlock does not block absolutely all ads, the extension still skips the offers of some companies. This is most likely due to the agreements that exist between AdBlock developers and other companies (there are rumors that even Google is among them).

Embedded Edge Features

Of course, the developers of the most popular operating system sometimes listen to the opinions of users and implement popular features in their applications. As you know, the Edge browser is updated along with the operating system, being its integral part. With the release of one of the major updates to Windows 10, ad blocking in Edge, or rather, the ability to block pop-ups, has become a built-in feature of the Microsoft browser.

In order to use this feature, you should open the browser and go along the path: “Settings” - “Advanced options” - “Block pop-up windows”, then turn the switch for using this feature to the “On” position. After such manipulations, theoretically, they should not disturb the user. The above method is a relatively effective method to remove the most annoying, very disturbing and often dangerous elements from the web browsing experience.

Microsoft, of course, can state that ad blocking is present in Windows Edge, although it is difficult to call the above function a 100% reliable solution that meets all user needs.

Future

In their announcements, the developers of Windows and the Edge browser quite often promise their users to create and implement a full-fledged ad blocker in the browser. There are no details about the release dates, and therefore it is very difficult to predict when users will receive a truly complete and functional solution built into the browser. In addition, we should not forget that advertising revenue is a fairly large amount that goes into accounts including Microsoft. It is quite possible to assume that this is the reason for such a slow development of software tools that are very necessary for ordinary users ...
