AdGuard Now Available on Mobile with Edge Optimization for Faster Browsing
While Microsoft Edge isn’t the most widely used browser on mobile devices, it offers several features that make it stand out from mainstream options like Google Chrome or Samsung Internet — the third most popular mobile browser globally. Recently, Microsoft added support for browser extensions, giving users more control and customization options.
Now, if you’re using Edge on Android , you can install an ad blocker built specifically for Microsoft’s mobile browser — making browsing faster, cleaner, and less distracting.
🔒 AdGuard Brings Native Ad Blocking to Edge Mobile
AdGuard , a well-known name in ad-blocking and content filtering software, has officially announced its ad-blocking extension for Microsoft Edge on Android via its blog.
The developers explain that using a native browser extension allows for more efficient filtering with less impact on battery life. Unlike traditional ad-blocking apps that work system-wide, this method focuses solely on filtering ads inside the browser , without affecting the rest of your device — making it a lighter and more targeted solution.
AdGuard was among the first major ad blockers to support Manifest V3 , Google’s newer extension standard, and now it’s one of the first to bring content filtering to Microsoft Edge on Android , joining other popular extensions like uBlock Origin Lite and AdGuard VPN .
🛠️ How to Install AdGuard on Microsoft Edge for Android
Installing the extension is simple:
- Open the Microsoft Edge app on your Android device.
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Go to Extensions .
- Find AdGuard AdBlocker and tap Get to install it.
- Once installed, you can customize the settings — a familiar experience for those who’ve used AdGuard on desktop browsers.
