There seems to be more & more websites asking me to disable my ad blocker. From everthing I can see, I have no ad blockers but still seem to get this message often.

Can anyone help me before I go totally bald from pulling my hair out:)

    Hi Michgal2k，

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

     Edge

    Edge > Settings > Privacy and services > Tracking protection . set to Basic or Balanced, not Strict.

    Chrome

    Chrome > 3 dots > More tools > Extensions, make sure there's not any type of ad-blocker or privacy extension.

    3 dots > Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > Content settings > Pop ups & redirects > allow.

    Still under Content settings > Ads > you might have to set this to Allowed.

    3 dots > Settings > Advanced > Privacy & Security > turn off "Send a do not track request" and under Site settings, experiment with those settings.
