Edge > Report this Ad: does little to nothing when used

[Chris_Benson]

'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) Choose an ad you dont want to see. Pick one you can remember like 'Top Credit Card for 2022'

(note: four radio buttons are shown, though this experience may vary?)

3) Select: 'Not Interested in this Ad', then click Submit

4) Close Edge, then reopen it - to be super sure your feed is reloaded

5) Look for Ad that you reported

Results: Ad 'Top Credit Card for 2022' is displayed, often 2-3 times on the same page

Expected: User reported ads should NOT be shown. 

No limit to the number of ads reported is ever mentioned, so please dont try that excuse.

Either your code doesnt work, or you have provided a feature that is misrepresented.

I have tested all four radio button selections, and found them all to mostly behave the same, as if they are just there to augment the search personalization algorithm (at best)

Please fix, and perhaps describe *somewhere* how you intend them to behave. When I say 'I am not interested' I dont expect to see the same ad again and again and again. Even worse when it really is misleading or inappropriate!

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.

I've given up. The primary (only?) culprit was the Edge new tab. So, I've switched to Google News and a blank new tab.

By the way, I came a hair away from switching to Chrome (I did actually but then figured out how to make the change I mentioned above).

@Chris_Benson I agree- it does absolutely nothing to report anything. Every time I sign on I am plagued with repetitive ads showing disgusting old people's feet! They show up every other line!! I repeatedly report them as "inappropriate" or "repetitive" but they still keep popping up! It's kind of nauseating when you are trying to check up on things online and you happen to be eating lunch! If I wanted to look at old people's disgusting feet all day I would just leave my own shoes and socks off !!!
