Can you recommend a good ad blocker for Edge?

[Vinca]

I'm really dim when it comes to computers, but ads are driving me nuts. I could spend my entire day tossing cookies and they would still appear. Any success stories when it comes to getting rid of these nuisances?

1. I probably will not be much help.

I use AdBlock.

It is free and works great.

I have been using it for years with no problems.

I use Google Chrome.

I don't know if AdBlock works with Edge.

Good luck solving your problem.

Have a great day.

2. I use AdBlock Plus on Chrome and Firefox

Works pretty well in most cases, plus you can use it for free.

I would also check your browser settings, make sure you have Edge set to tell websites not to track you, etc.

3. I'd reccomend these 3 Ad Blockers

Adblock plus

Ghostery

Ublock

All for Edge.

4. It's been a while since I used Edge

But I always had good luck using it with Ghostery adblocker:

5. Sure

Firefox. uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger/

Edge is just one big adserver and data thief. Dump it.

6. Malwarebytes Browser Guard

It's free. I use that and ad-block Plus and they cover most ads.

Either one alone would also work. MB will also warn about potential malware on websites.

7. Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll check them out.

8. Adgard is the best app for any browser.

I've been using it for years.

9. Another approach to blocking ads...

I block all my ads at the router level. I have an eero mesh wireless network and pay an annual fee that includes a bunch of extra features including an ad blocking service. The advantage is that I don't have to worry about dealing with individual devices. It was $50 the first year to get me hooked. The current eero Plus subscription is about $100.

10. I use something similar.

Pi-Hole is free. It does require a bit of tech savvy to setup but works great. I run it on a Linux system that also runs Plex in my home network.
