Microsoft Edge Chromium version has come up with a new feature named Tracking Prevention that will improve your privacy to a great extent. It is designed to protect you from being tracked by the websites you don’t access straight away. Commonly, when you navigate a website, trackers from other sites save the information about the sites you visit or the content you are interested in.
Using this information, often they create a digital profile that can be accessed by organizations to offer personalized content when visiting other sites. However, you can easily disable or enable Tracking Prevention in Microsoft Edge through a flag option of advanced settings.
