Can you recommend a good ad blocker for Edge?

I'm really dim when it comes to computers, but ads are driving me nuts. I could spend my entire day tossing cookies and they would still appear. Any success stories when it comes to getting rid of these nuisances?

I use AdBlock.

It is free and works great.

I have been using it for years with no problems.

I use Google Chrome.

I don't know if AdBlock works with Edge.

Good luck solving your problem.

Have a great day.

Works pretty well in most cases, plus you can use it for free.

I would also check your browser settings, make sure you have Edge set to tell websites not to track you, etc.

It's free. I use that and ad-block Plus and they cover most ads.

Either one alone would also work. MB will also warn about potential malware on websites.

I block all my ads at the router level. I have an eero mesh wireless network and pay an annual fee that includes a bunch of extra features including an ad blocking service. The advantage is that I don't have to worry about dealing with individual devices. It was $50 the first year to get me hooked. The current eero Plus subscription is about $100.

Pi-Hole is free. It does require a bit of tech savvy to setup but works great. I run it on a Linux system that also runs Plex in my home network.
