Is there any way to turn off the built-in ad blocker for some pages?

Hey Insiders!

Hope all are doing great. I recently noticed that Edge blocks ads when I set my privacy settings to strict, but the thing is some websites just don't open if any ad-blocker is on. Is there any way of say allow-listing particular sites? Many extensions and other browsers which come with built in ad blocking like Brave offer allow-listing few sites and the permission to let them use third-party cookies. I usually switch browsers when this happens ( the less time-consuming one ) or remove the overlay which prevents me from accessing the content using the console.

    "Settings > Privacy, search and services > Tracking Prevention > Exceptions" will allow you to whitelist specific sites.
