Is it as wonderful as it sounds, or one to be avoided at all cost?

I wouldnt touch it unless microsoft offer it as a free extension/addon. Theres enough stuff available to meet your needs I think

Thanks bobbinwales. I've not followed it through, nor will I, unless somebody knows something positive about it.

If it is free why are there so many reviews on Trustpilot and why is there a message 400 Bad Request if you try to access those reviews?

I think it is best left alone.

Thanks choux, I'm sure you're right.

Ads for Total AdBlock occur all over the place (including here on AB). Although it's advertised as a free download, it's actually a paid-for service. (So you'll be asked to subscribe to get it to function fully).

There are plenty of other browser extensions which can do exactly the same for free. Even better though, there's a super-fast browser (that's effectively a far better version of Chrome) which comes with an ad-blocker built in. (You can disable it though on sites which require you to leave ads turned on in order for you to view their content). It's my own choice of web browser:

Thanks Buenchico, I'm used to MS Edge and get on with it quite well, but it's nice to have a recommended alternative if/when I decide to change.
