Hi folks,
What are the developments for profound adblocking in Windows 10 and what to do as Modern IE doesn't allow extensions (and I presume Modern Edge won't either, only Desktop Edge), at best it would be akin to ABP for Android, without the intimate access to browser APIs that makes the ABP extensions work acceptably, and unlike on Android, we wouldn't even be able to take the tack of making a custom browser shell that blocks ads, because (IIRC) Microsoft doesn't allow that sort of thing. Could be MS is to follow Google and ban ABP, uBlock etc. sompletely when they feel they can do that and get away with it. Just like as they stopped browser choice as European regulators no longer demanded this. Big US firms always liked risk management better than abiding by the rules, if you grasp what I mean to say.
I do not want to contact malvertisers on my computer and this is the only reason to block ads for me and by making it so hard to block trageted ads Windows 10 is putting this user at risk.
I can see they want to do this in the default settings as it is their business model and it is why they promote this OS for free. But it should have been much more user friendly if they would have provided for a way to block these ads. Going the Google way drives more and more of the aware and advanced users into the arms of open software and linux.
