Ads Not Showing

I noticed that when I am using Edge Dev, none of the pages I visit show ads. I want to support creators and such with my ad revenue, but I can't get ads to show. I have tried turning off the built in ad block function, but to no avail. Any help on how to get them to appear?

    Hi,
    Tracking Prevention can also disable some ads:
    edge://settings/privacy
    other than that there is only this that you mentioned to have disabled already:
    edge://settings/content/ads

    so if none of them work, you might wanna check your extensions (if there is any)

    lastly, there is also a flag that you can try to enable:

    edge://flags/#heavy-ad-privacy-mitigations-opt-out

    Disable heavy ad privacy mitigations
    Disables privacy mitigations for the heavy ad intervention. This makes the intervention deterministic.This is intended to be used for debugging only. – Mac, Windows

      That was it. I had tracking prevention set to "Strict," and when I changed it to "Balanced" everything worked again. Thanks!
