Occasionally, Microsoft Edge will block access to a page because it is deemed unsafe. Other times, it’s a mistake that you can fix with a few tweaks. Try the site on another browser to check if the issue is with your network or Microsoft Edge. Also, check if your browser is updated and whether your ISP orfirewall is blocking the connection.
The quickest fix is to set the Tracking prevention to Balanced in Edge. Go toSettings > Privacy, search, and servicesand click onBalancedfromTrack prevention. See the detailed instructions below.
How do I unblock this page is blocked by Microsoft Edge?
1. Adjust your tracking prevention settings
Your browser may have come in theStrictsetting, which offers maximum protection by blocking tracking cookies used by third-party advertisers to track your browsing behavior. The problem with this is that it blocks most of the websites and makes them inaccessible.
With theBalancedsetting, you get most of the benefits of stricter settings while avoiding the risk of getting blocked. Better yet, you canenable web filteringto take charge of what content is displayed on your browser.
2. Disable extensions
If the culprit is a critical extension, you can reinstall it. Sometimes, a corrupted or outdated extension tends to cause issues with certain web pages, but once they’re updated, they’re good to go.
3. Add the blocked site as a trusted site
This may also be the reason whyEdge keeps logging you out of Googleif it’s a blacklisted site.
4. Repair Microsoft Edge
5. Reset Microsoft Edge
6. Reinstall Microsoft Edge
If you’re still having trouble with a specific page after examining the above troubleshooting guide, your network or proxy likely is to blame. You cantry with another connectionand see if there are any changes.
If so, get in touch with your network administrator for further assistance. However, we recommend youenable insecure content blockingso that your browser can flag off untrusted sites.
