Microsoft Edge to add uBlock Origin, Ghostery, and Turn Off the Lights extensions

John Callaham

More extensions for the Microsoft Edge browser for Windows 10 on the PC are on the way in the near future, including uBlock Origin, Ghostery, and Turn Off the Lights.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft made the announcement on the Edge Dev team Twitter page, adding that Windows Insiders will get first crack at these extensions before they are released for all Windows 10 users:

We're happy to announce that we're working with uBlock Origin, Ghostery, & Turn Off the Lights to bring their extensions to Microsoft Edge!

— Microsoft Edge Dev (@MSEdgeDev) September 23, 2016

uBlock Origin is, as you might guess from the title, an ad blocker extension, while Ghostery allows browsers to block third-party tracking from websites. The Turn Off the Lights extension will let users who watch embedded videos on websites dim everything else on the screen for a better viewing experience.

Review: Building a PC inside the Lian Li O11D Mini is dream-like

Lian Li's O11D Mini is a mid-tower chassis that's compact enough to require an SFX power supply. This may put off those who do not own an SFX PSU already, but this really is one of the best PC cases I've had the pleasure of building a desktop inside.
