AdBlocker for Microsoft Edge: is that possible?

• Unfortunately, there is currently no AdBlock add-on for Microsoft Edge. However, you can download a modified hosts file from the mvps.org website that hides advertisements.
• You have to copy the contents of this file into the hosts file, which you can find under "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc".
• Although the file does not work for all advertising, you can at least use well-known sites like YouTube without advertising.
• It is currently unknown whether the file could also have negative effects. Use at your own risk.
• If you do not want to take the detour via the hosts file, you will probably have to wait a while for the corresponding add-ons.
