Well, here is what we found. The Edge browser seemed user-friendly, delivered the most battery efficient performance so far and has some of the unique features but still, it is not getting much attention in compared to Firefox or Chrome. So, what are we missing? Add-ons.

Well, we can actually.

So, let’s see how it works? Basically, every advertisement that you see is generally located there by Google AdSense, and to show you the most trending Ad google uses tools to track your browsing history such as google analytics.

Ghostry blocks that specific tool, so it can’t track your browsing history anymore.

So, if the AdSense doesn’t detect that somebody is browsing the page, it will never show you any Ads. Amazing isn’t it.
