Microsoft Edge on iOS adds tracking prevention settings
#1
Information 
Quote:Microsoft is rolling out a new update to its Edge browser on iOS, and it brings a couple of important features. First, users can now choose whether to sync their browsing data with Microsoft Edge Legacy (the UWP version) or the new Chromium-based version of the browser.
 
The other notable addition is a new tracking prevention setting, which has already been present in the desktop version of the browser for a while. Tracking prevention prevents websites and companies form following users' activities throughout the web, which is a common method used to deliver targeted advertising. Edge offers three settings - Basic, Balanced, and Strict, which offer varying degrees of protection. The Strict setting can cause some websites to break, though.
 
The mobile versions of Edge do include some built-in extensions, including AdBlock Plus, so this tracking prevention setting isn't necessary if you want to stop ads from showing up. It could be, however, a more native way to do it, and give you some control over the aggressiveness of your tracking prevention settings.
