BEST AD BLOCKERS FOR MICROSOFT EDGE IN 2022

By Zac Bowden
published December 10, 2021

Blocking ads sounds excellent, but a lot of the time blocking ads also means
you're not supporting websites that offer content for free, so make sure you
keep that in mind. If you must use an ad blocker, here's our selection of the
best options for Microsoft's new Edge browser.





(opens in new tab)
Adguard Ad Blocker
Free at Microsoft Store



Social orientated


Adguard AdBlocker offers the same functionality as all other ad blockers, with
the addition of being able to remove certain social features from the web. If
you don't like seeing Facebook Like buttons on the web, for instance, this
extension can make it, so they don't show up on web pages anymore. It also
features built-in malware protection, pop-ups, and a whole lot more.



(opens in new tab)
AdBlock
Free at Microsoft Store



Most popular


This is the original adblocker, and many consider it the best. With over 200
million downloads since its launch, AdBlock is the go-to ad blocker for many
people no matter what browser they use. By default, AdBlock will block the most
offensive ads while whitelisting several unobtrusive ones. You can whitelist
your favorite sites, too, if you wish to continue supporting them.



(opens in new tab)
AdBlock Plus
Free at Microsoft Store



Very configurable


Much like AdBlock, Adblock Plus will block obtrusive ads while whitelisting a
selection of unobtrusive ad providers. Adblock Plus is currently in beta on
Microsoft Edge, so you may encounter some bugs with the extension. What's more,
since it's beta, not all of its expected features are available yet. Still,
Adblock Plus is another incredibly popular adblocker.



(opens in new tab)
Ghostery
Free at Microsoft Store



Privacy focused


Ghostery advertises itself as less of an ad blocker and more of an extension
that stops sites from tracking you. But it still does the ad-blocking stuff,
which is why it has a home on our list. Ghostery says it'll significantly speed
up your web browsing by minimizing trackers that might weigh down your system,
as well as declutter web pages from annoying ads.



(opens in new tab)
uBlock Origin
Free at Microsoft Store



Lightweight


uBlock Origin is an efficient adblocker. It's easy on the CPU and memory and has
incredible customization with a super in-depth settings menu. It has a quick
enable/disable the feature for when you do actually want to see ads, and can
also create block filters from hosts files. It also has lots of blocklists for
you to choose from.



(opens in new tab)
AdBlocker Ultimate
Free at Microsoft Store



Pure blocking


AdBlocker Ultimate is designed with a single purpose in mind: to remove all ads
and focus your attention on the content you want. It's free, and it blocks ads
and malicious domains that are known to spread malware. It can also disable
tracking. Features include the ability to remove all ads, block malware, and
improve browser performance.


MAKING A SUGGESTION

Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and
comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out
more about how we test.

There are many ad blockers available for Microsoft Edge, and all of them do a
great job. Whether you want straight forward ad blocking with AdBlock (opens in
new tab), or something a little more privacy focused with Ghostery (opens in new
tab) , there's something for everyone using Microsoft Edge.



We personally prefer Adguard AdBlocker (opens in new tab), as it's super simple,
but can also be configured with very fine controls. If you want to whitelist
certain sites, it's easy, or if you want to block a whole chain of ad networks,
you can do that too with Adguard.
