Support NeoGAF

[MCD]

Starting last night, uBlock Origin is now available to all with a simple one-click in the Store. The Edge version shares 95% of the same code as the Firefox and Chrome versions. Nik gives Microsoft credit saying "the Edge team have done a great job of matching compatibility with Chrome's APIs."

Awesome, will have to grab that.

Get ready to ask yourself, "why the hell is this site connected to so many different domains" a lot, Edge users.

Spoiler

there are Edge users?

Edge is a great browser. A little lacking in plugins, but it's modern, fast, doesn't use too much memory, and has a built-in note and screenshot tool.

Sure, it's a great touch browser. Swiping left to go to the next page in a GAF topic is an awesome feature.

I only used Edge once and I visited a site and was immediately hit with a browser redirect that wouldn't go away until I reset all the internet settings and then wiped the cache and change the registry. I guess the good thing in all of that was that at least it didn't affect the actual operating system but damn that was annoying.

I never had that problem with Chrome+ScriptSafe...if this is similar to that plugin, i'll give it a chance for use on my ultrabook.

 

[OnionPowder]

Tried using Edge but their plugin implementation is shit. Back to firefox again.

 

[stanis]

I use Firefox with my S7. there is ublock for it.

Dont forget: buggy.

Whenever I use it on my surface book or desktop, I usually get an unresponsive browser at some point.

Nice, uBlock is great. I don't use Edge too often, but I do like the browser.

UO can block as much or as little as you want, various scripts, images, etc.

 

[MooMilk2929]

It seems firefox has webpage screencap plugins too. Thanks for bringing that up. Now I have one for firefox.

Edge is all I use on my SP4. It's fantastic

 

[Izuna]

I wish I could go back to Edge, very nice smoothscroll...

But I need my quick reply for NeoGAF and NeoGFY

Tried it here on a touch enabled laptop, but it only swies to pages u loaded before, not new pages.

It does, I'm using it regularly. Not on every forum, but on GAF, it works.

 

[quackamole]

It's good on chrome but even it doesn't block everything. Fucking popup ads and the like is annoying as fuck.

It sure does not here, not even in tablet mode.

 

[Baleoce]

Isn't showing for me on the UK MS Store.

EDIT - NVM, the US link above works.

 

[Blackpanther25]

thank you for the info!

 

[mjAUT]

Thanks!

By the way, once you've installed the Edge Plugin, Ads will also be blocked in Internet Explorer.

 

[Heigic]

Will give it a try. I really like the way Edge renders text Chrome looks very blury in comparison.

 

[jstripes]

Time to install that on the Windows 10 machines at work.

We had ransomware get onto a machine recently from an ad.

This is not my experience. I have to use it at work and home for certain purposes, but it's incredibly slow and unresponsive. It also scores worse on html5 tests than Chrome or Firefox.

Yes, you can't search for it. Or the store search sucks.

Seems that you need a direct link like you found.

 

[Lexxism]

Yessss

 

[Jag]

I use Firefox on my S7. Is ublock better than adblock plus? Should I use both?

 

[komplanen]

Is uBlock Origin still the favourite ad blocker around?

 

[n64coder]

I think so. THe other ad blockers are not as good in my experience.

 

[titiklabingapat]

I think so. THe other ad blockers are not as good in my experience.

Does it block those annoying 'we know you have ad blockers installed' crap?

 

[Fragamemnon]

I installed from the github directly last week and it's been absolutely fabulous. F12 is still no Chrome Dev Tools so I keep Chrome around but the perf and clean UI in Edge is really nice.

edit: Just pointing out that before good adblocking was around, Edge was more or less unusable. That says more about the state of ads on the internet than anything else. Also make sure NOT to block sites you care about. What'll murder you is Twitch or random google search hits that are bursting with ads.

 

[lewisgone]

I'm finally back on Chrome after months of trying to make Edge work. It's slower, less responsive, and even unsupported on a surprising number of websites.

Youtube videos broke in Edge for me for a solid couple of weeks.

 

[Irminsul]

Install the "Anti Adblock Killer": https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/

That helps against most of them.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

This is not my experience. I have to use it at work and home for certain purposes, but it's incredibly slow and unresponsive. It also scores worse on html5 tests than Chrome or Firefox.

Yeah, I've had the same issues.

 

[see5harp]

I decided to use edge as my primary browser with my surface and I've been pleasantly surprised at how decent it is.

 

[_Ryo_]

How does this compare to adblock in terms of effectiveness?

 

[Colin.]

I haven't used Edge personally, but I'm glad to see further support for uBlock. It's served me well since Adblock sold out and went down the "acceptable ad" path.

 

[novabolt]

I'm having a good time with Edge but there are some things from Chrome that I miss.

I couldn't go back to Chrome though, as everything I wanted apart from a few things are coming to Edge.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Is it just me, or the FireFox version of Origin, but damn, it blocks shit so hard that some sites fail to even show up, which leads me then to deactivate Origin completely.
Other sites with integrated video players fail to start with Origin active.

I don't know, as much as I like browsing with it (and ABP) on, it's creating some hassle while surfing.

 

[Alienfan]

Me too, but it saves so much battery I just stick with it

Just need enhanced steam to finally come out now.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

About time more extensions are available on the Store. Might switch back now.
