You can block ads through the HOSTS file, and it will work across the entire system as the OS consults the HOSTS file whenever any network connection attempt is made. See e.g. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts, which is open-source and appears to be regularly updated. You can also use WinAero Tweaker to block both the ads and the tracking/spying built into Windows 10.
