  2. Blocking Ads

    I try to use Microsoft Edge, but the bombardment of ads is far beyond ridiculous...especially the most obnoxious AdChoices video ads. I clicked the AdChoices icon on the top right corner of an ad and went to the options page. I was unable to block many
    ads provided by a large number of companies. In the help section, it was suggested that enabling all third party cookies would allow the opt out page to opt out of all ads. I allowed all cookies but the opt out page was unable to opt me out of many ads and
    ad providing companies. What is the solution to blocking ads in Microsoft Edge? I ESPECIALLY need to block the video ads by AdChoices. Many of the video ads by AdChoices cannot be stopped once they start running. This actually slowly but surely eats more
    of my data, thereby COSTING ME MY HARD EARNED MONEY. Please provide the information I need so I do not have to use another browser other than Edge. I want to use Edge, but the ads are killing me. Literally killing me.

    How to remove AdChoices ads from Internet Explorer

    Hi Don. I have this on my IE11 but had big problems last time I tried to install this on Edge. Tried again and it's now working in Edge (along with the icon top right of my screen). I would just say to BRose3456 to be patient - you can't see that anything's
    happening until after it's been installed.

    Thanks Don

    Hello and welcome:

    Ghostery is a browser extension for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE.

    FAQ

    Removal would probably entail uninstalling it from the browser.

    What browser are you using?

    If you wish to keep Ghostery & opt out, you need to edit your settings in "My Ghostery".

    To get there, click on the Ghostery icon, there will be a box and next to blocking options there are 3 vertical dots. Click on those, click on My Ghostery, a new web page opens & you can edit your settings from there under General.

    Uncheck this is if isn't.

    Now click on Blocking Options and make sure they all say "all trackers in this category blocked." If not, click the blue "block all text and check to see if everything is blocked.
