There had been rumors that Microsoft was planning on adding native ad-blocking through Edge, but the company clarified that the experience would be through third-parties, namely Adblock and Adblock Plus (currently).

I "meh" the "meh" that destroys worlds.
I can't stand all the shit Microsoft is shoving down our throats with there automatic updates. I've modified win 10 quite a bit on my machine but every update I get a ton of shit that I don't want.
I modified Windows 7 by removing all traces of their attempts at advertising (and eventually forcing) Windows 10 on me.
Even if I WANTED the POS, I can't use it, because I use ancient alternative drivers (XBCD for 360) for my XBOX 360 controller, so I can use it on old games, such as the Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries free release (yes, it still exists - lol). Windows 10 would uninstall XBCD repeatedly.
I actually own a legal Windows 7 Ultimate license, yet pirated it anyway, just to stick a thumb in M$'s eye.

IF you have problems, DO NOT reinstall 10 to try to fix it, or you won't be able to go back to 7 for free (without pirating it)!

As I'm typing this on my Mac, I'm having a nice laugh at all the problems everyone is having. :P
And Macs have their own suite of silliness, of course.
You pay for the flexibility of Windows and the Intel platform (which even Macs eventually ended up adopting) with some inherent issues, sure, but having used all 3 major OSes, I still prefer Windows 7 over any other current OS release, although Linux distros are more and more polished by the day, as an alternative.
Once Windows 7 goes the way of the Elasmosaurus - semi-mythically found in the wild, like Nessie xD - I guess it's Linux or bust. I don't see M$ reversing their course too soon, the kool-aid is too strong, and considering Windows 10 is now officially the "final" release of Windows ever... Wow. I cannot be less impressed, without violating certain obscure laws of physics.
Honestly i did a lot of big brother removal from windows 10.
1. i disabled all of microsofts access to my machine with ad's and spyware.
2. i disabled and removed microsoft edge web browser when i found out that when someone uses the bull sh*t security ad your computer has been locked please call microsoft to unlock it scam you can't recover from it unless you uninstall edge browser then reinstall it.
Hell no
its my o.s
i hate using windows i prefer my macintosh because apple may be pricks at times but there o.s doesn't spy on you
