It's happening! Good news for Edge users, you can now install our extension and use your new favorite browser ad-free.
Last year Microsoft introduced support for third-party extensions in its newcomer, the Edge browser. We have been waiting for that moment, so we immediately started to develop extension specifically for the new browser. Finally, we are pleased to introduce you the Adguard for Edge, which is already available on Windows Store.
Those who have already used our extensions for other browsers will recognize the familiar interface:
By clicking on "Adguard settings", you can regulate filtering the way you want. Activate filters to select what shall be blocked. Thus, for example, you can enable search ads (which sometimes can be useful), allow protection against spyware and other trackers, remove overload of social buttons (Like, Share and such):
We want to thank Microsoft for making it possible to provide Edge users with Adguard protection! Particularly we want to thank the Edge team, it was great and easy to work with them. They provided us an invaluable assistance, responding quickly to changes during development. We call on all developers to follow us and create more cool extensions for Windows Store!
So here we are on Windows Store. Currently, only a few extensions authorized by MS appeared on Windows store. And we are proud that we are among the chosen ones :)
Adguard for Edge extension is a free protection of this browser from ads. Previously only the full-fledged program was available; now users can choose a 'light' version as well. It's always good to have several options!
Several days ago PageFair (the industry leading anti-adblocking authority and solutions provider) issued a traditional report on ad blocking. The presentation is very interesting, although we must say that we do not agree with all the data and conclusions provided. Anyway, from this report you will find out how people get to know about ad blockers, how many women/men there are among ad blocker users and much more.
It was quite a while since the last Adguard for Windows release. And there are other reasons for that apart from the Christmas/New Year holidays: we’d been extensively testing the new network driver. Why is it so important? Read further.
