How to Enable the Ad-Blocker on Edge for Android

The Block Ads feature on Edge has a button you can toggle the feature on with. But it also gives you options to allow exceptions so certain sites aren’t affected. You can start using this feature by opening the Edge app and tapping the three-lined menu at the bottom right. When the menu from the bottom appears, tap on the cogwheel to go to Settings.

Under the Setting section, tap on the Privacy and Security option. In the Security section, choose Block Ads.

First, toggle on the Block ads option; you’re all good to go once you do that. Below the option, you’ll see more options to customize. For example, you can choose to toggle on acceptable ads. Tap on it and toggle it on or off. You’ll also find an Exceptions option where you can add the sites you don’t want to Ad block to apply to. Select the option and tap on the Add Sites option. Enter the Site address and tap on the Save button. When you make the change you’ll need to refresh the site to see or not the ads. That’s all there is to it when it comes to knowing how to enable the ad-blocker.
