The one in the Microsoft Store is the fork by nikrolls which is a very old build (latest stable is v1.15.24 compiled in April, 2018) and is forked to be compatible with Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) engine so I'm not sure if it's supposed to even work with the new Edge Dev and Canary builds which are based on Chromium/Blink and not Edge/EdgeHTML? Nano Defender can only protect either Nano Adblocker or uBlock Origin, and will prioritize Nano Adblocker. Get Nano Defender Pro for Edge. Get Nano Defender for Chrome or Chromium This listing is no longer under my control. If you are using uBlock Origin, there are a few extra installation steps to follow.

The Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser has been officially released to the masses and I’m pleased to begin working on deploying the official stable release along with new GPO policy settings.

Full disclosure: I install uBlock Origin and use a whitelist for company websites. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Please see my uBlock Origin post if you need further guidance on its configuration.

Here are the policy settings that I used for Edge:

Here’s a link to the registry key created when applying the final settings. Caveat: this is the Google store version of uBlock, change out the extension paths with Microsoft store’s if you wish to use it instead: https://github.com/SysAdminDoc/Windows10/blob/master/EdgeGPO.reg
