Doesn't block ads for me [Solved]

Post by johnson123 »

Details
Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0
Adblock Plus: downloaded latest version

I see ads on each and every website
Example Image

Is specific windows feature(like PowerShell) or windows permission required for it to work?

Please help @mapx

I just tested that page ==> no ads for me in edge + ABP
Be sure your filter lists (especially easylist) are updated / with no failures in the "filter lists" page in options.

I clicked on "Update now"
and also "Add filter subscription"
Selected EasyList(English)
Clicked on "Add"

Now I'm trying to "View list"
It doesn't open anything

I see no list in your options.

Reinstall ABP.

I tried these steps now
They are not working for me
Edge shows ads on every single website

I can see "EasyList(English)"
I added it and then clicked on "View List"
And the result is http://imgur.com/a/UnbqR

click "add subscription", choose easylist, click "add"
("view list" is for acceptable ads)

if you clicked "add" well, for some reason the list is not added in edge. Do you have admin rights (when launch edge) ?

I'm using Admin account on system, doesn't that imply that I'm running Edge with admin rights?
