Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

To turn off the ad blocker in Microsoft Edge, you need to disable the tracking prevention feature. Here's how:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge.
  2. Click on the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner of the browser window to open the menu.
  3. Click on "Settings".
  4. On the left side of the Settings page, click on "Privacy, search, and services".
  5. Scroll down until you see a section titled "Tracking prevention".
  6. You'll see three options: Basic, Balanced and Strict. If you want to turn off most ad blocking features without completely disabling tracking prevention, select "Basic". To completely disable it, toggle off "Use Tracking Prevention".

Please note that if you have installed any third-party extensions like AdBlock or uBlock Origin in Edge browser, these steps won't disable those extensions.

To disable third-party ad-blocking extensions:

  1. Click on three horizontal dots at top right corner of Edge browser.
  2. Go to Extensions.
  3. From here you can either toggle off your ad-blocker extension or click 'Remove' button to remove it entirely.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

Best regards

I have removed my adblock extension and disabled tracking prevention both to no avail. Both Tubi and YouTube continue to say disable my adblock.

    I have contacted the movie site Rotten Tomatoes, a very popular and informative site, to explain why I can't use their service any more due to the adblocker situation. Hopefully this "powerful" site can get Microsoft to do something as our demands on this thread are ignored.

    It is obvious that Microsoft has no intention of fixing this problem. I'm countering it (to no avail) with reports to the sites I can't see because of the problem. Rotten Tomatoes is one. I complained to them that I couldn't read their material or BUY MOVIES from them and for a couple of days the problem went away.

    I've just given up. Maybe one day there will be a way to actually FIX problems like this. But not today.
