Impressive w/out blocker

Admittedly, have used or had an ad blocker in place for a L-O-N-G time, BUT...

I find what I am seeing or more to the point NOT seeing, with Strict and no ad blocker is terrific!  As I move about things are equally 'clean' & clear of ads & such as when an ad blocker was doing its thing. It's, really, quite impressive to have these results with nothing added to achieve it. 

You know when you put the security features within Edge together with the security features within Windows 10, you truly have "a match made in heaven".  And, BTW, this is even more true with 1909 which, is coming in a matter of days.

Cheers,
Drew

    What are the new security features in version 1909?

      Please forgive the delay, please, Bruce.  Yes, some or most or what I had in mind relates to Enterprise, BUT, not all.  There is some work, improvements & or different offerings available within Windows Security. As an example here are their 2 panels from the same heading; this is one example of enhancements within Windows Security (AKA Defender & more).


      Cheers,

        I don't see any new security features in version 1909, do you?

      I did see your query to me.  I'm vigorously trying to go through a big pile of items.  It does, certainly, apply to Enterprise, but, there are Consumer things/impacts, too...  (Already, seen in Insider Builds) just give me a a bit of time please & I'll come back to this.  Thanks.

      Cheers,

        1909 is a rather small update that comes as a normal cumulative update, the bigger update is 20H1 destined for the December 2019.

      Here is list of all the new features:
      https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-1909-coming-soon-here-are-the-new-features/

       

      Windows defender is always improving regardless of Windows version. there isn't any new features in build 1909 that effect or help Edge insider browser directly.

       

      build 1909 is not even released, it's still in the release preview ring of the Windows insiders.
