Microsoft Edge: Block advertising - so it'll work

In this practical tip, we explain how to block advertising in the Microsoft browser Edge. So far, the browser can only offer an integrated pop-up blocker. Compatible add-ons for other blocking functions will probably be added by Microsoft in the future.

Edge: Block pop-up ads

The pop-up blocker in Edge saves you from annoying pop-up ads.

1. Select the icon with the three dots at the top right.
2. In the opened menu, click on "Settings".
3. There, scroll down and click on the "Show advanced settings" button.
4. At the top of "Block Popups", slide the slider to the right to "On".

Alternatively, you can also try to deactivate the Flash player. The option is located just below the pop-up blocker. This is also often responsible for a lot of advertising. In the next article, read how to reset the Edge browser.
