Learn more about privacy policy and tracking prevention in Microsoft Edge.

This past week we released a blog post on our new Tracking Prevention feature.  It is currently in test, and off by default, but we felt that it was important enough to tell all of you how to enable it, test it and to debug issues with it.  Give this article a read and let us know what you think of our efforts, either using the smiley or in the comments below.

 

Thank you,

Elliot

      I think you really need to reread my post again... Nowhere did incline that this was not normal. To put it in a simpler way, ... There should be a way to have it not happen without having to add the site as an exception....

        Dennis5mile there is a way, add to exception. if you don't like it then switch to balanced mode. they gave you 2 options already but if you choose not to use them then that's all on you.

    Ok, one problem I've run into while having the tracking setting to "Strict"  while on Facebook.   Your own photos/videos get blocked...  

    This is a photo from my own album

    This is how all the photos show up.

    I think there has to be a way of being able to see your own photos without having to add FB as a site that is an "Exception".........
