Google has built ad blocking into Chrome for Android devices, but it is somewhat limited and not available on iOS devices. Adblock Plus can be enabled in Microsoft Edge's settings, with no add-on app required. With built-in Adblock Plus functionality, Edge browser users on iOS will not need to download a separate ad blocking app, which may attract more users to Microsoft's browser. Microsoft also places its own tools and services integrated into the browser.Microsoft is testing built-in Adblock Plus integration in its mobile Edge browser available for both iOS and Android devices, reports The Verge. So far, developers have embraced the idea of porting their extensions from other browsers to Edge. The browser lacks features next to more mature rivals, but extensions help address the balance. It is worth remembering that the company is building Edge from the ground up. Extensions give Microsoft’s browser an added of completeness comparable to rivals platforms like Chrome. The inclusion of these little pieces of functionality is actually hugely important. Since the launch of the Anniversary Update in August, extensions have been available generally. The company later rolled out a number of extensions to Windows Insiders. One of the upsides of this approach is that our current implementation of Adblock Plus for Microsoft Edge is based on the code of Adblock Plus for Chrome, unlike the entirely separate codebase for Internet Explorer.” Edge ExtensionsĮdge extensions were first announced by Microsoft in March. When it was announced, the developer said: “After years of development and support of Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer we very much welcome Microsoft’s bold attempt to move to standards based approaches with Microsoft Edge.
More specifically, AdBlock has been forgetting whitelisted websites when Edge is restarted. Users have been experiencing problems with the whitelisting feature.
While the changelog for AdBlock is not extensive, it does solve an issue that first happened in the last update. Of course, like all Edge extensions, you will need to have Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The release brings the service up to version 0.9.9 and is now available in the Windows Store. Now that extension has been given an update that should fix a previously known issue.
One of the key Edge extensions, when they came to Windows 10 Anniversary Update, was AdBlock.
