Unless my search skills are declining rapidly, there is no ad block AFAIK for Edge. It is a really good browser IMO. So,  to Microsoft.
I have bought a new laptop recently and I like W10 too thus far.

Those seem contradictory...

Well the browser itself is very good. Blocking advertisements is something that browser provider do not and should not be doing. However, there are people outside of browser provider who create these and users can opt to use them.
I am not really sure how that is contradictory. There is a very good browser and no one has, yet, created an extension to block unwanted advertisements.

What good browser doesn't allow extensions?
Some websites, like YouTube, have become unusable without an ad-blocker. It's absurd that you should watch one minute ads for ten second cat videos...

Its called Firefox/Chrome with adblock installed.
Or if you must use a M$ product to ruin your web experience, use Hosts File Ad Blocking.[^]

Ah the hard work. I will just live with it.
BTW, at quick glance I read it as hostile file ad blocking and was wondering what it could be.

As Snorkie already mentioned; you don't block ads using browser extensions, you block them at the system level, denying each application that requests a file from an ad-serving domain.
Update your hosts-file.

In the middle of the US, we just finished with some record rains. Yesterday, I removed over 300 gallons (like a billion liters) out of my leaking basement. Not complaining as others around me have it much worse. The wife and I were looking at some shelving and moving stuff around and found something interesting. We've been married for fifteen and a half years and lived in two apartments and two houses. We found a wedding present that has never been removed from the box. So she opened it up and said it was just what she wanted. Now the wet floor doesn't matter because she has her fancy pitcher for water.

 There's irony.
Something similar happened to my (then) wife and I. Among the wedding gifts was a coffee maker. So said the box (you know where this is going.) We even sent out a "Thank you for the lovely coffee maker" card. We don't drink coffee.
A couple years later, we were moving, and I found the unopened coffee maker in the closet. I decided to open it. Lo-and-behold, inside the box was a really nice set of crystal drinking glasses.

Why would someone pack it in such a misleading manner though? And if they did, why would they not tell you?

Ok, actually it was a year ago the day before yesterday. I moved out of the parental house to my own!
Before going to sleep yesterday it suddenly dawned on me how different my day was from a year ago.
A year ago my house was pretty empty, I was still tidying and cleaning up the place.
I did grocery shopping and I had no idea what I'd cook for myself.
Not to mention that I was in between jobs. I had taken Christmas off and I'd start at a new company in January.
The new job also meant a pay cut, but the new house meant a rise in costs. I had no idea how much money I'd have left at the end of the month...
That day, yesterday a year ago, was my first full day in my own house. Not a day with doubt or insecurity, but a day where everything was different nonetheless.
Now, a year later, my house is a little less empty, I'm not worrying about what I'll eat, I've got a cat, the house feels like home, and everything's going well at my new job.
Felt pretty good

Anyway, that's 20 years from now. I might have changed my name by then, so don't be surprised if you never hear from me
