Adblock Plus extension for Edge no longer blocks ads because the URL of the filter list is invalid.

https://easylist.adblockplus.org/ NO longer works and it should be replaced with https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt
If you manually fix the URL, the next time you open Edge, the extension will add the wrong one which breaks the filter

Did you get some error (404 ..) trying to subscribe easylist ?
Did you try subscribing from https://easylist.to/index.html ?

The extension doesn't work because adblockplus.org is redirected to esasylist.to

yes, but the next time I restart Edge, it's replaced with https://easylist.adblockplus.org/ and also a new list with https://easylist.adblockplus.org/ is added by internal update mechanism
