how to prevent some ads ridden websites from closing tabs in edge?

i dunno why it even possible for a website to do it, should be done only by user....

Edge is perhaps the worst internet browser amongst all internet browsers

From a technical standpoint wouldn't it be pretty much equivalent to Chrome?

It is just Microsoft Chrome indeed, but it is also the one which nags the user the most.

i replaced chrome with edge because it nags user much less.

So if the website has a crypto miner, possibly one of the windows defender mechanisms closes the tab.

mans, the question is very specific, don't answer unless you have an answer.
i need to disable this option for a website to close a tab in browser, edge, not chrome or firefox.
i don't care about everything else.
replacing addblock plus with uBlock origin solved it for 1337x, but problem remains and will be abused eventually by some ♥♥♥♥♥ website.

I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running Pi-hole and Unbound which does most of the blocking for me at the network level. I also run Edge with the uBlock extension which catches anything that slips through and for YouTube ad blocking. I haven't seen an ad in ages and I also use several sites like you mentioned and I've never had any issues with them. If you don't want to mess with something like Pi-hole you can try one of the malicious/ad blocking dns servers out there.

While both browsers use the same engine, the configuration of each one is completely different and MSFT has its own meaning to privacy settings compared to Chrome/Google or Firefox/Mozila

If you’re still using edge without even a decent blocker, maybe stay away from file sharing sites.

Just stay away from illicit websites and 95% of your troubles can be swept up by a basic adblocker and built-in antivirus.

The major differences are that Edge has Bing, Microsoft Account, and Copilot integration while Chrome has Google integration, and that Edge has tracking protection.

What I meant is that architectually Chrome and Edge are nearly identical and even share code between the two projects. Edge also supports Chrome extensions.

Of all the big techs Apple's Safari browser is the most private. In this order - Safari > Edge > Chrome.

I believe Samsung also has their own browser but can't comment on it.

Even Apple users find Safari laughable at best. One of the worst browsers by far

It's not that bad. At least isn't resource heavy like most Chrome and Chromium based browsers.

When on my Windows machine with 32 gigs of RAM yeah I don't care and will load up Chromium tabs to my hearts content. But on a Mac and iPhone where RAM isn't exactly abundant, having Safari is the way to go.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Even the Mac should have 16GB or more.of RAM so I don't really see the issues. And modern flagship phones have plenty of RAM such as iPhone 10 or newer or Samsung S20 or newer where using Google Chrome and having like 20 tabs opened in there shouldn't be an issue. Plus on phone and tablet OS' browsers tend to suspect the inactive browser tabs anyways so they aren't really hogging RAM.

32GB is enough to have plenty of wiggle room for memory management, but Chrome may still suspend unused tabs when you have a lot open in order to reduce the memory footprint.

The only purpose of internet explorer was to download a better browser like brave. Edge is the modern internet explorer.

edge is ie on chrome
only good if you want ms and google to spy on you
