Add-blockers and MS Browser

[FrankRamiro]

No wonder few people want to use MS Win 10 edge browser and use Massively
Chrome and FireFox,and others and the reason is, it wont let you Block adds and still be able to stream videos with ADblock on,
i don't know how these official MS web-browser can live with it, it seems to me they don't mind people use other browsers.

You can block ads in Edge by putting in a custom hosts file.

Yeah - I've tried to use Edge (and still use it fairly often) but overall it's just a lot easier to keep using Chrome. I've tried the HOSTS file trick before, but it doesn't block everything, and is not easy easy (or transparent) as just using a few good extensions.
