Many users of the Edge browser have long awaited extensions, and now Microsoft Edge users can finally enjoy extensions for a better browsing experience. No more dealing with distracting ads on the blogs you visit.

Here’s an honest review of uBlock Origin, the ad blocker for Microsoft Edge. After a brief online search, I finally found what I was looking for – an ad blocker that actually works on Microsoft Edge.

uBlock Origin is available for both x86 and x64 bit versions, compatible with Windows devices up to version 10, developed by Nik Rolls. Here’s why uBlock Origin stands out and why you should consider it for your browser:

Comparison: AdBlock Plus vs. uBlock Origin AdBlock Plus has deviated from its original purpose by showing trusted ads and consuming more system resources.

Unbeatable: Performance: uBlock Origin truly gives Edge the edge… pardon the pun. Without this extension, browsing is almost unbearable. While the pre-alpha version worked fine, having to sideload it made it somewhat challenging for average users. Thus, its availability in the store is a welcome improvement, especially given the scarcity of quality developers.

Easy Website-Specific Controls: I particularly appreciate the user-friendly feature that allows you to easily enable or disable uBlock Origin for specific websites directly from the extension’s pop-out window.

User Review by Bernard: Excellent! I switched from AdBlock Plus to uBlock Origin. Found it through a direct link on the website as searching the store initially returned no results. Fix your Store search, Microsoft.

Support and Customization: Early adopters can try out this extension and report any issues on GitHub. Developers can also customize and suggest improvements through open-source code and discussions.

How to Install uBlock Origin: If you’ve upgraded to Windows 10 on your PC, it’s time to add the uBlock Origin extension to your Edge browser. Visit the Windows Store page here. This will redirect you to the Windows Store application on your PC.

Click on the “Get the app” button, wait for the download to complete, and then click on the Launch button available in your app store. This should automatically open Microsoft Edge.

Next, click on the ellipsis (…) in the top-right corner of your browser and activate uBlock Origin. If you found this article helpful, feel free to share it!
