It’s not surprising that internet users continue to look for ways to block ads on Edge. You’ve probably noticed that just about every time you visit a website, you’re exposed to online advertisements. Some of them are fine, some are intrusive, and many can be annoying; whether they are pop-up ads, audio ads, or video ads that interrupt what you are trying to do. Even worse? They slow down your browser and sometimes dramatically increase page load times.
