"We're a member of the Coalition for Better Ads. It's a significant development for Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge, an overhauled app now available for Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS that's based on Google's open-source browser technology. We're almost there.Microsoft's Edge browser will block ads that are deemed too intrusive, a new sign that browsers have begun competing to make the web better for you even if businesses might not like it. One of these days someone will invent an ad blocker for your operating system. There is however no other way to permanently kill the OneDrive ads. And yes, as implied, the drawback is that this will turn off all notifications for all sync providers. To get rid of it forever (since it may come back if you just click "Not now") you need to go to View > Options in File Explorer and turn off "Show sync provider notifications". But we'll just call it what it is: an ad. Sure, Microsoft could say that this is simply 'promoting' the OneDrive cloud storage service, which incidentally also comes from Microsoft. The ad has started showing up a lot this week, so you may have already seen it. That's a pretty essential app that we assume most people use on a day-to-day basis, so here's what you may be presented with the next time you launch it: That said, Microsoft is ready to take things to the next level - specifically, the Windows 10 File Explorer.
So by now you should have gotten used to this. We've seen lock screen ads, notification ads telling you that Chrome is eating your battery and you should switch to Microsoft Edge, and even some weird targeted pop-up ads for Chrome users informing them about Microsoft's Personal Shopping Assistant. Microsoft has been trying to make the concept of ads in operating systems acceptable for a while now, using Windows 10 as its testbed.
