"For now, tracking prevention must be enabled through Edge's experimental flags by heading to 'edge://flags#edge-tracking-prevention' and toggling the flag to 'Enabled'," the Windows Central reported on Thursday.[br][br]"Relaunch the browser, and you'll then be able to adjust your tracking prevention settings from the 'Privacy' portion of the main settings menu." Whenever a website is visited, trackers from other sites may save information in the browser using cookies and other storage mechanisms.[br][br]The "tracking prevention" is quite similar to the Enhanced Tracking Protection feature that Mozilla added to its Firefox browser in 2018; it was turned on by default for all users this spring.[br][br]But the mechanism is a little bit more complex.
