Ad blocker for Microsoft Edge

[Venturous Randy]

In looking at ad blockers, I am having a problem with using MS Edge. I did a free install of Ad Remover that worked OK, until they came back and said it would cost me $39 a year to keep it. When I look at the AdBlocker sites, they do not show it available for MS Edge.

After I did not continue AdRemover, now I am getting popups from hell and I have the popup setting blocked. I can not imagine how bad it would be if I did not have that set.

Any suggestions?

I use Chrome. I've been using AdBlock. It's a pay if you think it''s worth it program. Had it on for about a year now I would think.

They suggest a $20 or $30 (if I remember correctly) donation. After coughing up they wrote telling me what a great guy I was etc etc. The program seems to work pretty well. It doesn't block all ads but does get rid of the more annoying, animated ones. Some websites (not many) recognize I'm using an Ad Blocker & request it to be turned off, I just go elsewhere.

The 1800 Goldwing riders forum started showing a bunch of adds right around the first of the year so a lot of folks over there are using Adblockplus. I installed it and it works very well, I am not using EDGE, still using Internet Explorer, so I have no idea if it will work for Edge. Adblockplus is also free but asks for a donation.

On the 1800 Goldwing riders forum there was an added plus to using it, their site has a bad habit of not opening thumbnail attachments, you click on a thumbnail to view a picture and the screen goes dark gray and when you opt out of that screen, it puts you back in to the general forum page, not the previous page you were reading. Installing Adblockplus fixed that issue, so I keeping it.

 

Good luck.

There is a trick I use that gets rid of a lot of unwanted crap. It involves in setting up your computer so it cannot find the ads. Requires a little bit of computer skill

 

google "adblock hosts file" to learn how to set it up.
