Make adblock for windows OS. All adbockers I've seen are browser addons. There are some but most of them doesn't work properly and some charges arm and legs. Why isn't anyone making adblocker for entire PC? Is it that hard?

    Hi Sogeking,

    May I ask where you're seeing ads that aren't in a web browser? Or are you thinking of Internet Explorer, the web browser that's built into Windows?

    apowersoft video download capture which is based on IE. While grabbing
    videos, ads interfere too much. Anyway is it hard to make an adblock
    application for entire pc without the need of addons or something? There
    are options like Adguard(too expensive), adfender and admuncher(both
    doesn't work properly).

    Hi Sogeking,

    Microsoft Edge, the Windows 10 replacement for IE, will eventually support extensions, or so Microsoft says. When that happens, AdBlock will be among the first to be available. Please follow our social media pages for updates (Facebook, Twitter, or Google+).

    That would be a better solution. I just hope video download capture changes
    its browser. Thanks.
