Erik, you make a good point about not loading up a browser w/ 'standard equipment'. Especially, since some would consider that to mean different things, for them. The other point is, extensions are 100% optional not, actually, required. All are personal to take or not. Even, since you mentioned it, an ad blocker. Heck, with Edge C set to Strict, I've been able to go without an ad blocker for the 1st time ever. The extensions some can be cool, helpful, fun, but, not, imperative. Nor do they add bloatware... they are not that, but, just wee light-weight apps added to, but, not an integral, native, part of the browser.
Cheers,
Drew

In terms of adblocking, the strict mode in tracking prevention breaks lots of websites but that's normal because for one it is not an adblocker and two Microsoft explicitly says that it breaks websites. also we've seen many people saying the same thing, strict option breaking their login pages etc.
in this case an adblocker extension is a lot better.
