Actually there is a built in ads blocker in the last 2 versions of Canary.. Version 78.0.262.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)..
How well it works I don't know as I've not tested it out yet...
Also note that in this next picture there are no options to "add" sites to the blocked list nore to the "allowed" list...
At least I've got it in my version.. could be one of those, chosen few...

I believe this is not any special Microsoft development and just the 'adblock' that is built into chrome by google. I use quotation marks since it is an advertising (Google) friendly service that aims to only optimise advertising by ensure ads fit certain guidelines and doesn't tend to block anything.

but that's not what we meant. it has no difference whether it's on or off. think of it as a placebo.
Opera's ad-blocker is similar to what ublock is, a real adblocker that works. and in today's internet, it's a must-have, so better be integrated into the browser itself.- hhmm, how does ublock compare to AdGuard and/or Adblocker Ultimate? I use AdGuard on Edge classic, but can not seem to get them to add it here and I do not install anything from the huge security/dataminning chromeanything stores.....

Dennis5mileAdGuard is mainly know for it's system-wide Windows software which is premium and you have to purchase it. in terms of of extensions, ublock origin is better with less system resource usage and more available filters.
AdGuard is also an effective tool for rooted Android phones to block system-wide ads.AdGuard software can function in all installed browsers/programs, it uses more system resources because of the advanced techniques.
AdGuard system software is easily circumvented when user is using proxy or VPN.another thing, ublock origin has no filter limit. you can add adguard filters, ad block plus filters and any other custom filters to it such as those that block bitcoin miners in websites.
here you can find them all:
with that website, you see that ublock origin is not just a normal adblocker, it's more like a platform full of possibilities and options.
Dennis5mile I checked. this blocker does not block a large number of ads. including yutube
nikitat1260 Youtube ads serve a purpose, though. Unless your watching a video posted by a corporation, many youtubers rely on the ads you watch.
