How to get rid of outlook and office 365 ads in my e mail

[Beate]

I get these really annoying adverts for ad-free outlook if I sign up for Microsoft 365...but I have Microsoft Office 2019 and do not need or want 365...However I hate that these ads takes up screen space..making it difficult to view my email!



Is there any way I can get rid of the ads? I have read that it earlier was possible to upgrade to premium outlook to ovoid ads, but the only way to upgrade now is apparently to get Microsoft 365....I seriously considere changing to another e-mail provider, for example eM Client. Any advice on how to get rid of the ads..? I have add blocker...but it does not block these things...

Download and install uBlock Origin:

uBlock Origin - Chrome Web Store

Once installed, r/click an advert > Block Element > Create.
Using the Pick option gives more control over a less defined area.

Thanks a lot for this reply Moonshine, it works! The ads are finally gone...but I still don't get to use that area of the screen. The e-mail reading area is still not streached any furter to make it easier to view the whole e-mail...I can off course open the e-mail in å separate window, but it annoys me tremedously...

Considering getting another email provider, for example eM Client....Any input on this solution? :-)

Try this extension for Google Chrome - it removes the space on the right:
Webmail Ad Blocker

Webmail Ad Blocker - Chrome Web Store

What I did was to remove the uBlock Origin extension, then install the Webmail Ad Blocker.
Refresh Outlook.com and check that the adds had gone and the space on the right was ‘reclaimed’ (it works).
I then reinstalled uBlock Origin (optional) as I rate this blocker highly.



Re EM Client – my main email client is Outlook 2016 and have EM Client as a back up.
In my opinion, it is one of the better free email clients available – give it a try.

Webmail adblocker does the trick! It really works and the space on the right is finally reclamed!

Thank you so much for being my hero! I have been pulling my hair over this!
