Queries on Tracking Prevention
tomscharbach you're right...
I have tested it for many days, and now I can say that I can absolutely remove my Ad blocker without any worries...
The blocking removes all ads, trackers and invisible trackers, giving absolute peace and a noticeable decrease in page render times. It is a major selling point of Edge being on same Chromium codebase, yet very different from Google Chrome...

I'm glad to hear that, Rohit. I'll test as soon as it is available in Dev.
One of the features/functions that I like most about the Firefox deployment is that it provides a one-click way to turn off the blocker temporarily for specific websites without making the setting persistent (that is, the blocker goes into effect each time the site is opened, but allows me to turn it off for that session) by clicking on a shield icon in the address bar.
That allows me to use a site without permanently disabling the blocker for that domain, as AdBlock and AdBlock Plus required me to do. I like the level of control afforded by Firefox because sites that block ad-blockers are often risky for other reasons, and I want to be able to make a choice in each instance. I hope that Edge Chromium's blocker will have something similar.
