HOW TO TURN ON OR OFF TRACKING PREVENTION IN MICROSOFT EDGE CHROMIUM  







    HOW TO TURN ON OR OFF TRACKING PREVENTION IN MICROSOFT EDGE CHROMIUM

    > How to Turn On or Off Tracking Prevention in Microsoft Edge Chromium
    > 
    > 
    > Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development
    > of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. This
    > new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google
    > Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and
    > performance.
    > 
    > The new Chromium based Microsoft Edge is supported on all versions of
    > Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server (2016 and above),
    > Windows Server (2008 R2 to 2012 R2), and macOS.
    > 
    > Websites use trackers to collect data about your browsing behavior.
    > Trackers collect data about how you interact with a site, such as the
    > content you click on. They also enable functionality on some websites,
    > such as comments sections, buttons to share articles to social media, and
    > personalized ads.
    > 
    > Some trackers collect data about you across multiple sites. For example, a
    > tracker could track when you go to your favorite shopping site and news
    > site. This is why it can sometimes feel like an ad is following you around
    > the web.
    > 
    > The tracking prevention feature in Microsoft Edge protects users from
    > online tracking by restricting the ability of trackers to access
    > browser-based storage as well as the network. It is built to uphold the
    > Microsoft Edge browser privacy promise while also ensuring that there is
    > no impact by default to website compatibility or the economic viability of
    > the web.
    > 
    > Microsoft Edge is designed to detect and block trackers. Microsoft puts
    > you in control to decide what trackers to block. You can choose from three
    > levels of tracking prevention – Basic, Balanced, and Strict. Balanced is
    > selected as the default. Each option blocks potentially harmful trackers –
    > trackers detected as cryptomining or fingerprinting.
    > 
    > Basic: The least restrictive level of tracking prevention that is designed
    > for users who enjoy personalized advertisements and who do not mind being
    > tracked on the web. Basic only protects users against malicious trackers
    > such as fingerprinters and cryptominers. Blocks potentially harmful
    > trackers but allows most other trackers and those that personalize content
    > and ads.
    > 
    > Balanced (Recommended): The default level of tracking prevention that is
    > designed for users who want to see less creepy advertisements that follow
    > them around the web while they browse. Balanced aims to block trackers
    > from sites that users never engage with while minimizing the risk of
    > compatibility issues on the web. Blocks potentially harmful trackers and
    > trackers from sites you haven’t visited. Content and ads will likely be
    > less personalized.
    > 
    > Strict: The most restrictive level of tracking prevention that is designed
    > for users who are okay trading website compatibility for maximum privacy.
    > Blocks potentially harmful trackers and most trackers across sites.
    > Content and ads will likely have minimal personalization. This option
    > blocks the most trackers but could cause some websites to not behave as
    > expected. For example, a video might not play, or you might not be able to
    > sign in.
