Since before the first release of Windows 10, Microsoft has been talking about their Microsoft Edge browser that is included in the new operating system.
Their goal has been to create a safer browsing experience because of all the threats that exists on the web these days and they have slowly been adding capabilities both under the hood and feature related that works towards that safer experience.
We all know that one attack vector these days when you are on the web is malware and other threats that are delivered via ads which are displayed on the webpages we visit. Most of the time the hosts of the webpages themselves are not even aware that the ads they are displaying are delivering the attack code.
One way users combat the threat of these type of ad based attacks is to use an ad blocker extension in their web browser which completely eliminates ads from displaying on their machines.
Plus, let's face it, some sites are unbearable when it comes to the number of ads they display on the page and that degrades the browsing experience as well.
