I apologize for the delay, was out all day yesterday with family.  I have checked IE and i'm not sure it does.  One issue i'm seeing that even though it's not Avast, when I go to ESET to visit their page (in case of using the online scanner) I get http://www.eset.com/us/ on Chrome.  On IE and Edge I get http://ww2.eset.com/us/.

Slightly different addresses

People running large(-ish) sites used to do this when they needed to break up the load between more than one server. One machine would be called www then the next one would be called www2, etc.

So the ads are restricted to edge only ?

As far as I can tell, yes.  Could it be that Edge is just not mature yet and I should use Chrome in the meantime?

Yes as it stands Edge is still in nappies, there is no control over site produced adverts (adblocker) no extensions/addons function at all.  It is a bare browser and nothing else. 

I am using IE11 until such time as it grows up :)
