In a session on the first day of Build 2016, one of the Microsoft executives showed a slide showing the map of Edge's development path, revealing that except of extensions, the next update, which will be called the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, will come with a built-in “browser ad blocking” feature.
As noted by ZDNet, future versions of Windows 10 could bring an early version of this ad blocker while those in the regular version will be released in the summer.
On the other hand, the well-known Adblock Plus was among the first companies to announce an extension for Microsoft Edge.
We do not know exactly how the embedded feature will work in the Edge browser, but the goal is to create an ad blocking solution that will not need to download anything else to work.
