To update my original post.that image upload site frigging blocks the 'Upload' button with an animated ad. Now in terms of the 'sidebar'.my only problem is that it displays ads. I can't thank them enough for developing it. Microsoft Edge's vertical tabs sidebar is an incredible game-changer for my workflow. It was absolutely impossible and frustrating using Chrome (or its various clones) with lots of tabs and bookmarks. I use my browser for various tasks from research to art. I'm actually sick of these 'simple' and crippled web browsers that treats every individual like a three year old. OP here, and totally disagree with your statement. Is there any way I can get the Edge sidebar to respect my adblocking wishes? But even with static ads, I worry I'll click the wrong thing and trigger some endless loop that leads to a virus. The pop ups are obviously scary and annoying.

Honestly, I don't feel safe navigating any website without an adblocker. But in Edge's 'SideBar', there are ads everywhere:īeing new to Edge, I checked the settings and see no built-in adblocker setting. If I load this same 'ImgBB' site in my tab, it shows no ads. The right side is my 'SideBar' activated with 'ImgBB' website.

In the example below, I have Reddit open on the left side. When I add any site to my Microsoft Edge 'SideBar', the side panel displays the pages with ads.even if I have an adblocker installed.Īnd before anyone says to place these elsewhere.I love how the sidebar allows me to remain on a message window (like THIS reddit screen) while accessing a temporary tool via Edge's sidebar. But it was enabled on my installation the entire time.and doesn't do anything in regards to the 'SideBar'. I also responded that Microsoft Edge could solve this by having their own adblocker built-in.Įdit 3: So actually, Edge does have a built-in adblocker. This lets you add sites as buttons, and they load in side panels when clicked.ĮDIT 2: Best answer by u/Lorkenz who explains why this situation exists. For clarification, I'm referring specifically to Microsoft Edge's 'SIDEBAR' feature. EDIT 1: I suspect some commentators below are mistaken or confused about what I'm referring to.
