Edge > Report this Ad: does little to nothing when used
'Report this Ad' doesn't seem to do much of anything. Repro with all updates and fresh reboot on Windows Surface Laptop: 1) Open MS Edge start page, there should be plenty ads shown to test 2)...

Facts.
I've reported one particularly awful ad in every single way possible for days yet every time I open the new tab page, that same ad is there at least once, and sometimes two or three times.
Ridiculous.

Well, I guess I have my answer (and that is, NO, reporting doesn't do anything). I have an ad that shows up all the time. Sometimes in several places on the page at once. I've done everything I can (settings, remove all cookies, etc.) and they still show up. All the time. Even saying 'block this ad' in adblocker does nothing. It's like those activities make it show up even more.
