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...

Yeah it's obvious since it's in the settings page...
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..... But I see ublock available in the store for Edge Can/Dev....
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.

I have AdGuard on Edge Classic and it was a free extension from the MS store. I Love the way it works and all the options you have with it. The security features are great along with many other blocking options. But since the Edge Team does not seem to want to add it here, I have now installed ublock and I like it as well, though compared to ADGuard, AdGuard has more blocking options...
Thanks for the info on ublock,

As long as it blocks Youtube Ads, I’m fine and don't care who makes it. As long as it works. Cobra Kai on Youtube without ads was nice bwahaha. I'll retry Ublock in a few weeks.
