AdGuard releases ad blocker optimized for Microsoft Edge on mobile

Microsoft Edge on mobile devices is not the most popular browser in the world, but it has some features that make it more attractive than mainstream solutions such as Chrome or Samsung Internet (the third most popular mobile browser in the world). The software giant recently enabled extension support, allowing users to have more features in the browser. Now, if you use Edge on Android, you can install an ad blocker that was made specifically for Microsoft's mobile browser.

AdGuard, a popular maker of content filtering software, announced the extension on its official blog. The developers say that using a native browser extension allows for more energy-efficient filtering, which does not require installing additional apps and only focuses on filtering ads in the browser, not everything that goes through your phone. AdGuard was among the first popular ad blockers to offer a Manifest V3-based extension, and now it is among the first content blockers for Microsoft Edge on Android, joining other popular extensions like uBlock Origin Lite, AdGuard VPN, and others.

You can install AdGuard for Microsoft Edge on mobile by launching the browser and navigating to Menu > Extensions and clicking "Get" next to "AdGuard AdBlocker." After downloading the extension, you will be able to configure it according to your preference, which will be familiar to those already using AdGuard on desktop browsers.

Speaking of content blockers, Google recently turned off uBlock Origin in Chrome, but there is still a way to make it work. Check out this guide to learn how to do it.
