A Few Things That Have Been Bugging Me

There are a couple, or so, things that I would like to see changed or added. I would like to be able to go into settings and set a switch that would halt all video loading, or playing unless I click ...

ok so for the video loading it's pretty simple :

 

1st You open this link : edge://flags/#edge-autoplay-user-setting-block-option
and pass "Show block option in auto Play settings" to enable after that (restart the browser with the big blue button).

 

Second thing to do you go to edge://settings/content/mediaAutoplay and pass it to block it should do the trick.


For the advertisement edge can't do anything unless they integrate an AdBlock so you can use this extension for hiding all advertisements (don't forget to whitelist from adblock website you like or want to support) : Ublock-origin on Edge Store

Wittycat, In my opinion, Adblock Plus is better.

    i prefer ublock-origin because i have the impression (maybe false impression) ublock origin is more faster with the same number of rules

        i hope to see an adblock like in the mobile version 😕 (even the adblock plus one) because an adblock at the browser level will always be faster than one on the extension level ^^
        and we can be sure (since maintained by microsoft) it wouldn't be sell to some turkish dev who will transform it into malware (aka nano defender/nano adblocker)
