An ad blocker for Edge is an add-on that stops adverts, pop-ups and often trackers from loading as you browse. You install it from Microsoft Edge Add-ons, the add-on store for Edge. Eight follow in no particular order, with each listing's publisher, user count and ratings count, because two of them share the plain name Ad Blocker.
Every ad blocker here has a listing on Microsoft Edge Add-ons. Each one says it blocks adverts on the pages you visit; some also name trackers, malware or pop-ups, and one is built just for YouTube adverts.
Two listings are simply called Ad Blocker, so I've added the publisher to their names here. Alongside users and the publisher, you'll see each listing's ratings count, which is the number the Edge store shows. If Facebook adverts are the ones that bother you most, there's also a way to stop Facebook ads appearing in your feed inside Facebook itself.
What I compared on each Edge add-on listing
Each add-on was picked from its Microsoft Edge Add-ons listing and compared on what that page shows: the publisher, the number of users, the ratings count, the last updated date and the privacy section. User counts, ratings counts and dates in the entries further down are as each listing showed them, as of Oct 2026. In the free plan column, Yes means the listing text calls the add-on free; Not stated means it doesn't say.

Which Edge blocker for which kind of browsing
- You want adverts gone everywhere: pick a general blocker whose listing says it covers all pages, video adverts included.
- YouTube adverts are your only problem: a YouTube only blocker keeps the job narrow.
- You care about tracking as much as adverts: pick one whose listing names trackers or malware as well as ads.
- You'd rather avoid data collection: read the privacy section first, because two listings here disclose that they collect personal data.
- You want one that says it's free: four listings say so in their own text, so check the free plan column.
Ratings counts don't follow user numbers on Edge
On Microsoft Edge Add-ons, Ad Blocker by OPSA ad blocker shows 4.2K ratings on 49,000 users, while Adblock Plus shows 1.3K ratings on 12,000,000 users, as of Oct 2026. The add-on with far fewer users has far more ratings.
Want AI doing the heavy lifting in your marketing?
I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
So a big ratings count doesn't always mean a big following, and a quiet ratings count doesn't mean nobody uses it. Look at users and ratings together, then read a few of the newest reviews before you trust either number.
Firefox works differently from Edge here, and ad blockers for Firefox sets out the add-ons worth a look.
Three checks before you install
- Match the publisher, because two listings share the name Ad Blocker.
- Open the privacy section and see whether personal data is collected.
- Check the last updated date. A blocker that's been quiet for a long time is worth a second look.

My advice on picking an ad blocker for Edge
Pick the narrowest tool that does your job. If it's just YouTube, a YouTube blocker is enough; if it's every site, choose a general blocker from a publisher you can name, with plenty of users and a recent update. And stick to one blocker at a time, so you always know which one is doing what.
If you're weighing up a browser with blocking built in instead, my guide on whether Brave browser is safe is worth a read first.
