Best Ad Blockers for Microsoft Edge in 2019

Adguard Ad Blocker 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.

This is the original ad blocker and some people 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 a number of unobtrusive ones. You can whitelist your favorite sites, too, if you wish to continue supporting them.

Much like AdBlock, Adblock Plus will block obtrusive ads while whitelisting a selection of unobstrusive ad providers. As it currently stands, Adblock Plus is currently in beta on Microsoft Edge, meaning you may encounter some issues 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 ad blocker.

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.

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

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 block 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.
