Where is Tracking Prevention in Edge beta for Android ?

MVP

I just received the latest Edge beta on Android and the change log says:

Tracking prevention: select a Basic, Balanced, or Strict amount of blocking. but where?

I searched every inch of Edge settings and there is so sign of it.

I do have the new contextual search and NTP settings but not Tracking prevention.

 

why is that?

is Edge beta on Android having controlled feature rollouts too?

Yeah, I do not have it either...

I think if it is a controlled feature rollout which is something not available to everyone, it shouldn't be added to the change log which is something that everyone sees and gets confused over.

Wow, I take that back.... I do have it as I just checked again and there it was...

Hmm yup, I don't have TestRollout1, it's set to off
I wonder if that 1 on TestRollout will change to a 2 when they let it out to some more folks.... TestRollout2

So far the numbers only alternated between 0 and 1, for disabled and enabled

@HotCakeX I've reached out to our Android team about this and will loop back if/when I get some clarification for you.

I've got the Tracking Prevention in Edge Android now ^^
TestRollout1 is still off so I think that was irrelevant to begin with.

I'm still out of luck here but this definitely seems to be a staged rollout.
Good to know that TestRollout1 has nothing to do with this.

 

EDIT March 1: I've got it now!

Yeah absolutely, the switch is in Microsoft's hands
Ah, good to know....
