AdGuard is among the first ad blockers to feature its browser extension in Edge for Android
We have some great news for both Edge and Android users! AdGuard Ad Blocker is now available as a browser extension in Edge for Android mobile browser.
Recently Microsoft introduced full-scale browser extensions support in its Edge browser for Android, and they have been gradually adding more extensions. One of the very first extensions available for Edge Android was AdGuard VPN, and now it’s time for AdGuard Ad Blocker to join the fold. We are proud to say that AdGuard is one of the very few ad-blocking browser extensions you can currently install in Edge Android.
We hope that this will help bring better browsing experience and stronger anti-tracking protection not only to people who are already familiar with AdGuard for desktop Edge, but also to those Android users who are looking for a quick and simple solution to their privacy problems.
What are the benefits?
Protecting your browsing experience from ads and tracking on mobile devices might prove harder than on desktops. Browser extensions aren’t that readily available and not everyone may be looking to install a standalone app like AdGuard for Android to filter out ads and trackers. This is why AdGuard browser extension for Edge Android may be a unique solution that just suits your needs:
Staying within familiar ecosystem. If you are already using AdGuard Browser Extension on desktop Edge, extending the protection to your Android device will come smoothly and naturally.

Optimized for Edge. If you want to focus on blocking ads and stopping trackers specifically within Edge browser, AdGuard extension can be a perfect solution for you. Unlike standalone apps that filter all of your device’s traffic, AdGuard extension will work directly with Edge, saving time and consuming less battery resource.
Self-contained package. If you are looking to protect your Edge for Android, AdGuard browser extension will do just that without asking you to install any additional applications — all filtering and configuration happens within the browser.
