AdBlock and AdBlock Plus extensions show up in the Windows Store for Insiders

Ever since extensions for the Microsoft Edge browser showed up in Windows 10 for PCs build 14291, we've known that AdBlock and AdBlock Plus would be coming soon. Almost two months later, they're finally here.

Of course, to get these ad-blocking extensions you need to be on the Windows Insider Program, and be on a version of Windows 10 for PCs that supports extensions in Microsoft Edge. The feature won't ship out to the general public until this summer when the Anniversary Update ships.

The lack of extensions has so far been a significant handicap for Edge. Many power users consider a browser without support for extensions to not be a browser at all.

You can download AdBlock right here and AdBlock Plus here.

Editor's Note: If you use adblocking software we would greatly appreciate it if you whitelisted Neowin. Advertising enables us to continue the Neowin community. Neowin also offers subscriptions which remove advertising without the need for extra software.
