Batu69 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Today is the day that Windows 10 Anniversary Update rolls out to the masses, but this is not the only big Windows 10 news of the day. The version of Microsoft Edge included in the latest update features support for extensions -- and this means that millions of Windows 10 users can now take advantage of Adblock Plus. Of course, this is not entirely new news. Windows Insiders have been able to use Adblock Plus for a little while now, but now that same option is available to anyone running the latest version of Microsoft's operating system. Adblock Plus for Microsoft Edge can be downloaded from the Windows Store. Adblock Plus points out, however: "Please note that according to Microsoft, the Windows 10 update will be rolled out over a few months, so if you cannot install Adblock Plus and other extensions today, Microsoft will surely deliver your update soon". The company says that it has been working very closely with Microsoft to get the extension released, but admits that development is still at something of an early stage. In a blog post, Oleksandr Paraska says: Quote After years of development and support of Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer we very much welcome Microsoft’s bold attempt to move to standards based approaches with Microsoft Edge. One of the upsides of this approach is that our current implementation of Adblock Plus for Microsoft Edge is based on the code of Adblock Plus for Chrome, unlike the entirely separate codebase for Internet Explorer. But there are issues -- enough for the Beta tag to still be warranted. Give it a try and see what you think. Article source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 ABP cant help EDGE bro ..Chrome is in all O/S but a few... EDGE is just in one OS ..They would have to convince the 80% of the market that's not on windows 10 to use windows 10 and then they would have to convince Windows 10 users to switch to Edge they got a longways to go to become dependable like other browsers . I dont consider EDGE a Real Windows software it's a Windows 10 phone browser too me crippleware . You most likey have to use a Microsoft email just to download addons if its like the store?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPECTRUM Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 trouble with Chrome is that it consume a lot of RAM with their multi-process, even with a single website opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty6100 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Tried it for the hell of it-I'll stick with Chrome and Firefox. Edge STILL sucks, IMO. Developer version of UBlock origin not ready for prime time...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rseiler Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Still called beta on their site, and there are plenty of complaints about "pauses" in Edge, which can often be caused by this (or Adblock), but sometimes are Edge's own fault, I think. I would consider Edge itself to be beta. https://adblockplus.org/en/edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
