Remove annoying pop-up ads in Microsoft Edge browser

If you’re using Microsoft Edge, the new Windows default web browser, you should be enjoying a fast and user-friendly browsing experience. If Microsoft Edge is not working properly and you miss Internet Explorer, typing that into the Start field will reveal that the old web browser is still there.

One of the more common problems with Microsoft Edge is pop-up ads. Not only do they get in the way, if clicked, they can also cause all sorts of problems for Windows.

Thankfully it’s easy to fix Microsoft Edge pop-ups:

1. Open Edge and click on the three dots in the top right of the app
2. Click on "settings" 
3. Scroll down and click on "view advanced settings" 
4. Make sure "block pop-ups" is turned to "on"
