Hey Everyone! Let's share our Blocked trackers list to see which tracker company is the most Evil :)
When deciding to participate, please post a picture of your blocked trackers list (like the pic below) and if you can specify these 3 details:
- Your Edge insider channel
- How long tracking prevention has been turned on
- Which tracking prevention option you chose between Basic - Balanced - Strict
Thank you!
Here goes mine:
AddThis on the top!
1. I'm using Canary channel
2. tracking prevention has been turned on for only 24 hours (yesterday reinstalled my Windows insider)
3. I've only been using Balanced mode.
1400 trackers in 24 hours! 70% of those websites listed up there I never even visited! 
now Who's next ^^
- Now that I refreshed, i can't see my reply. Well anyway, I found this: https://www.onmsft.com/news/edge-insider-makes-130-network-requests-on-first-launch
this is worrying.- I think he should test the new version again

Hey there! Nice survey.
- Canary channel
- tracking prevention has been turned on from as soon as it was available
- Strict mode
90% of those websites never visited (especially Facebook - even do not have account
). Sometimes I clear data for comparison.Nice results indeed!
It's interesting that "Addthis" is not in your top 10 list of the trackers, but Google is at top.Facebook yeah xD it's everywhere.
1. I'm using Edge Canary
2. I've been using tracking prevention since it came out. It's been a while but I haven't really used Edge much.
3. I'm using balanced mode
I really need to use Edge more! I use Nano Defender by the way. I don't know if it'd impact the blocked trackers list 😕
HA! Techcommunity auto-saved my reply! 😄
- Looks like your 3rd party ad blocker got most of them which is good 😉
- Do you use uBlock Origin?
I posted this info in another thread over Here this past Wednesday ...
I've been using this on "Strict mode" since day one when it was first available a/b..
Version 79.0.294.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
I get amazed as to what gets blocked, especially since I've never visited most of what is listed in the blocked trackers section... see below photos... in order from top of page to bottom.. sooo many sites blocked...
That's a lot of trackers and there are a total of 5 sites on this list that I have been on...
AddThis I use to post from one website to facebookFacebook
Twitter
Amazon
Publishers Clearing House
The rest of them, I've not been on...
Amazing!
Tracking Prevention is Working!
Todays numbers are Tracking prevention blocked 7,082 trackers
Google 3,071Dennis5mile
- Good stuff, I will turn off my ublock origin and set it to strict mode too. my guess is "Google" tracker will be on top of my list as well
My results are with both Ghostery (all options On) and Adguard (almost everything enabled except 3-4 options (mostly concerning Web RTC, which if enabled do completely break sites)). So I think it is not good idea to switch off uBlock and stay only with embedded strict rules alone
