Best ad blocker for Edge?

[white_Shadoww]

Hey people, I was using Opera because Edge was not syncing favorites across my devices. But now that it has started syncing again with my Lumia, I am thinking of switching to Edge.

The moment I switched to Edge, I was surprised how good Opera was with the ad blocking feature. I guess Edge has 2 extensions, adblock plus and uBlock origins.

Which one is better and light weight? I use Visual Studio and a browser constantly, the more light weight the better.

uBlock Origin, without doubt.

uBlock Origin, without doubt.

Where is it? Can't find it in Extensions store...

uBlock Origins is more customisable and has a lighter memory footprint compared to alternatives. Nothing beats it!

I didn't notice much difference between adblock, adblockplus, and ublock, but I decided to stick with ublock as well.

I've heard good things about ublock origin. I don't use any ad blocker myself but you can try that one if you wish

Another vote for uBlock. However, on my tablet I use Ghostery because it doesn't interfere with the pages I visit. There are certain pages where uBlock+Edge will prevent the page from loading (though the same doesn't happen with uBlock+Vivaldi). I haven't tried uBlock on my tablet since December so maybe the problem has been fixed.

uBlock is the 1 you want. Adblock was actually keeping youtube from loading properly for me not to mention there was a performance hit when using Adblock Plus on multiple devices. I now have ublock on everything.

uBlock Origin doesn't work with Yandex.

uBlock is best no doubt. Could not stand the ads without one.

I never heard of uBlock until now. I was always using ABP.

I tried uBlock Origin and it won't even let me access WindowsCentral.com. I am also an email subscriber of WindowsCentral, whenever I click a WindowsCentral article in my email, it will ask to download it instead of opening the page. When I turned off uBlock, the page loads correctly. So now, I'm back to using AdBlock.
