It might be possible to adjust things in uBlock Origin to avoid the conflict, but I would prefer to have the Edge ad blocking have an option to choose to block more ads. I have left uBlock Origin turned off on the affected website. The interaction between uBlock Origin and the blocking of media autoplay function seems strange. The " intrusive or misleading ads" portion of " Block on sites that show intrusive or misleading ads (recommended)" let too many ads that feel intrusive to me through the ad blocking. It's always been was a very short-lived experiment to use only Edge ad blocking. I haven't seen Microsoft talk about it at all, like as a distinct feature of Edge to promote or highlight. it's a pretty generic feature, Chrome has it too. Haven't seen a single ad being blocked by it. I don't know what kind of filtering or domain list that feature uses, but it's been pretty useless for me. I thought you were talking about tracking prevention, because in some cases it can block some ads too when set to strict. Never mind that, I realized you are talking about this: edge://settings/content/ads Tracking prevention is good but ublock origin is on a whole different level. Some people around me will be pleased when this eventually makes it to Stable. Hopefully this feature to block media autoplay will be complete soon in Canary and Dev. Since the built-in ad protection in Edge handles most ads, I have uninstalled the uBlock Origin extension for now. When I disable or uninstall the uBlock Origin extension, blocking works for that site. On that site, if I had the uBlock Origin extension enabled, blocking did not work. I observe one odd interaction on one website. Blocking is working on all four systems now.
