Dev channel update to 79.0.287.2 is live
Is Microsoft going to incorporate a stronger ad blocker in upcoming builds? If not, then this is an unusually titled item "Ads - block / allow" under Site Permissions.
When this is enabled, a tiny fraction of ads are blocked for normal users. This Setting toggle has gotta be renamed to "Intrusive ads" (and someone at MS should define "intrusive" so users know what this setting actually does), if more ad blocking isn't coming.
Just my two cents.

You're right, that option seems not to be doing much, but in the privacy settings when I set tracking prevention to strict it blocks half of the ads. though not ads like those on YouTube videos that need more sophisticated ways like ublock origin extension.

Speaking of ads or not... suggest setting Tracking Prevention to Strict. You may
at its effect... with or without ads Blocked or an ad blocker extension.
