Since IE doesn’t support extensions like uBlock Origin, you can block ads system-wide by editing the hosts file. This prevents your computer from connecting to ad servers.
If you must use IE, the hosts file method works. But for a modern, ad-free, secure web experience, switch to a supported browser.
Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022 . Using IE today is a security risk. For ad blocking + safety, install Microsoft Edge (which has built-in tracking prevention and supports uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store) or Firefox .
Internet Explorer (IE) lacks native ad-blocking support, and most modern extensions no longer support it. However, if you're stuck using IE for legacy corporate apps or older systems, here's the most effective method to block ads.
Tools like AdGuard for Windows (paid) or Pi-hole (network-level) filter ads before they reach IE. These are easier to maintain than hosts files.
