You can now grab the popular alternative to Ad Block and Ad Block Plus directly from the Windows Store. It’s actually not showing up for me, but I guess it’s still rolling out.

During its development uBlock Origin for Edge was a GitHub project where users had to sideload the extension. This task required manual updates and a constant re-enabling making the extension a lot of work for users. Microsoft later contacted Nik about bringing it to the Store officially and with their assistance the project has finally reached its goal. Starting last night, uBlock Origin is now available to all with a simple one-click in the Store. The Edge version shares 95% of the same code as the Firefox and Chrome versions. Nik gives Microsoft credit saying “the Edge team have done a great job of matching compatibility with Chrome’s APIs.”
