Ads in Outlook mail

[shamrock]

Happy Easter!? Hope all is well with everyone. Quick question wondering if Josh or anyone else has resolved this. Open my e-mail today in Outlook.com and the whole right pane and the first two e-mails are all ads.
Did a quick Google search, and see many have had this problem for years, maybe I'm fortunate I somehow avoided it until now.
If anyone has any fixes or workarounds I would appreciate it.

Hey Shamrock - I haven't worked on it but I'll get a little free time tonight and will make an email addy for outlook.com and see if I can come up with a solution

What is your browser of choice just in case we have to use some kind of add-on - Chrome, IE, Firefox... Tor :SIB

Leaving the office in the next few - Going to grab dinner and will check it out later tonight hopefully

Hey Josh? Thanks so much for the help, really appreciated. I generally just use IE, and Outlook because it's attached. I have to do everything on my computer by voice (DragonDictate), and it always seems to work better with IE than chrome for some reason. Hope all is well, and thanks again.

I just found a solution for chrome so let me see if it applies to ie as well

The Chrome Extension is pretty impressive


Quero & AB Plus are good but they leave a msg saying it was blocked


The Adblockplus would be my recommendation for Edge or IE - It also is easy to turn off for webpages that block you because you are running an adblocker


Good Luck


Chrome - https://jasonsavard.com/Webmail-Ad-Blocker

Thanks Josh, Quero seems to work quite well in IE, and the Outlook mail. I had ad blocker plus already installed, and it was the current version (1.6), although I never see any evidence that it is running/working. Is it completely in the background? It is in my installed programs, although not on the menu bar or desktop, and as I said I don't see any signs of it ever working.
Thanks again for your help

THE ABP Icon can be seen at the bottom right when the status bar is enabled - Here's a vid on how to turn on the status bard if it is not visible

I put Quero on IE and it worked pretty similar to ABP - The only reason I leaned with ABP is it is more popular and subject to better updates (In theory). Nothing wrong with Quero especially if it is working.
