Hi, with the new Microsoft Edge browser installed , I am thinking to add the extensions and an ad blocker. But which one ? there seem to be several free ones. Could anybody recommend one please!

That's the one I use on Chrome. On Edge or IE11 I don't bother at the moment.

But watch out for the "allow acceptable ads" setting

uBlock Origin seems to be very good -- Firefox is now usable again on my Celeron laptop. It was really struggling with Adblock Plus. Thanks. smile

Adblock Plus and Ghostery (both in use here) are decent.
