at start up of Edge I always get an ABP mesage about settin

Post by crusted »

I have a X64 based pc with Windows 10 Pro and running Edge : 41.6299.522.0
The problem is that everytime I open Edge, ABP comes with the same messsage, which is as follows:
- we have removed all filters,
- could not get back the backup,
- we had to re ininitialize all filters,
- pls check your settings.

I have done this several times but without succes.
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks and best regards,
Dick R

I have same problem. It keeps kicking out all my whitelisted sites. I wonder if this has something to do with erasing all my saved PW's too?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We apologize for the annoyance. We are aware that some users are having this issue. Unfortunately due to some Edge limitations, some ABP settings are cleared every time cookies are cleared on your browser.

We are working together with Microsoft to resolve this, please see https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/6621 for more details. 

In the meantime disabling cookie autodeletion on Edge is the best workaround. You can stop autodeletion of cookies by taking the steps below:

- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Select More (...) to open the menu and click on Settings
- uncheck the box next to “cookies and saved website data”

Hi,

Every time I start my browser Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0 in Windows 10; 64 GB I receive the message that because of the update of ABP the Options have to be controlled.
How can I end this it's so annoying!

Thanks in Advance,
Kind regards
Vivian

We apologize for the annoyance. We are aware that some users are having an issue with MS edge first run page opening in a new tab upon relaunch with the message that filters have been removed.

Wouldn't it make more sense to turn off Ad Block Plus until you have fixed the problem with your extension? That way there is no waste of time and no expectation that your extension will work properly. It can be reloaded once your issue is resolved.

I'm also have this same problem and have since I first installed it. The "solution" DOESN'T WORK!! STOP SUGGESTING IT! Get your lazy coders do FIX THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. I expected more from ABP considering you guys have been around for ages.

Hello All!

For those users where the work around does not resolve the issue can you let confirm what Os version, And Edge Versions you are using? We are still working with Microsoft on investigating while this is happening and coming up with a permanent solution. We look forward to your follow up! Thanks for your details!

Thanks

@bolo, edge is a mess. Microsoft will give up its own engine and will use chromium project inside its edge in the future.
So, the solution is using chrome for now.

"It seems that an issue caused all filters to be removed and we were unable to restore a backup. Therefore we had to reset your filters and Acceptable Ads settings. Please check your filter lists and Acceptable Ads settings in the Adblock Plus options."



Every time I start Edge this morning. AB will not save settings and does not block ads.

In reply to Shannon - I am using Windows OS build 17134.523 and EdgeHTML 17.17134 and AdBlock always opens anew tab when I start Edge - annoying.

I also use Edge in Windows 10 & get the same message. It seems to have started when Windows updated.
