Gotta admit, I don't use Edge that much (yet) but I suspect this will improve the experience.

Edge is still not ready for prime time. It is a lousy browser.

I don’t use edge at all. I think it is telling the MS hid IE from the user and presents obstacles to making it - or any other browser the default.
I’ve been modestly successful in mitigating the migration experience for people by restoring IE (or better yet giving them a 3rd party browser like FF or Pale Moon) for their browsing and email needs.
Anything edge can do the others do better.

Now I can at least ditch Chrome.

Is there a cost for AdBlock?

Good news, except that AdBlocker is going commercial and letting ads from advertisers who pay them enough to get through the block and show up.
Likely, some other software developer will come up with an alternative.

Be aware... some sites, like
wired.com won't let you visit if you are using an ad blocker. Even if you turn Ad Blocker off.
Also, Ad Blocker Plus is better than Ad Blocker.
I'm on a dial-up line (transitioning to hot spot WiFi) and Ad Blocker Plus is a definite advantage. Blocking a site's .css and .js files speeds up page loading a great deal.

The latest problem is with websites that detect the ad blocker and refuse to work properly or tell you to get lost.
I get that all the time with my browsers with ad blockers.

I took the plunge to Linux. Now I wonder why I waited so long.

I must have turned something off, because I don’t get ads in any higher volume than I used to with the old system.
