[SOLVED] How to block the irritating new adverts for Edge on Microsoft sites

[TheGuru]

Just a helpful note. It seems since Mid 2017 that Microsoft is adding an interstitial advert at the top of every page when you visit a Microsoft site NOT using Edge. See attached image

I have successfully used uBlock Origin to stop this by blocking the element - although, of course, Microsoft might be likely to change or randomize the element name...

Best way to block ads in EDGE is to use Opera or FF. Just my .02

He isn't blocking ads IN Edge, he is blocking ads ABOUT Edge that show up in Chrome or other browsers when you visit Microsoft sites.

Google does a similar thing. As usual, MS is late to the party.
