Hi all

 

I have an Samsung S20FE, everything up to date and running MS Edge on it. I really like that it syncs favs and history with my desktop computer.

 

The last few days, however, I've been getting really annoying pop-up ads in Edge. At first I thought it was the Google Play store, because all the ads directed there, but then I realized it was Edge. The ad blocker was off by default in Edge, so I turned that on, and I don't have personalized ads turned on either.

 

But the annoying pop ups persist. They even interrupt listening to music, which is the most annoying.

 

Any other steps I can take here? Do I need a better ad blocker app? 

 

Thanks

 

Neel

Look at your installed apps and see if you don't recognize them.

Also consider getting adguard

Thanks guys, yeah, I added some apps recently, but everything should be trusted, nothing unknown. Maybe Adguard is needed now....

Adgiard is not going to stop pop-ups in a browser or any app on a android device. It really depends on the websites you are visiting.

I installed Adguard the other day, maybe saw one ad afterwards, but I think since then I've had a couple of days ad-free. Maybe. More time needed to see for sure.

 

Thanks for the recommendation!
