    Time for people to opt out of this controlling mode, what do we pay good money for?

    I basically use Firefox as my browser and some one wrote to get a Firefox add-on that blocked ads to solve the problem and it worked.  I don't know if IE has any add-ons of this nature.

    Also I sort of have given up on outlook.com as I find it most cumbersome to manipulate and adjust.  As an example I do a lot of email marketing and I find just a simple thing of formatting the emails for proper space between lines and paragraphs is impossible to do.  Who wants to send a marketing letter which has multiple spaces between each paragraph.  It does not look professional.  I have gone back to Outlook 2016 and find it much easier to manipulate for a decent presentation.

    Thanks very much for replying to my thread, I found the information most useful.

    I do not use IE, so I am not aware of any add-on for IE that would block ads in outlook.

    I do not recommend using IE, but if you must use it ... you could try using a custome HOSTS file ... which would block some of the sites that download the actual ads. The result would be a blank space where the ads would normally appear.

    For more information on getting a customized HOSTS file see:
