Microsoft added a Tracking Protection feature to Internet Explorer 9, back in 2011. Says who? Ed Bott does the analysis- My tests show that one in four items blocked are from Google: Tracking Prevention: If that name sounds familiar, you're not imagining things. It mostly seems designed to kick Google's goolies.

On January 15, 2020, Microsoft is scheduled to roll out a completely revamped Edge includes a feature called Tracking Prevention. What’s the craic? Nick Farrell reports- Edge might hit Google hard: Microsoft's Edge browser might be built on the same open-source code as Google Chrome, but … it might make a mess out of Google's business model. Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. In this week’s Security Blogwatch, we ponder the possibilities. This, of course, might merely reflect Google’s dominance of the online ad market. And that’s using its default configuration. In tests, “Chredge” nuked almost a quarter of Google’s creepy cookies. However, it doesn’t share la GOOG’s affinity for tracking cookies. Update: The feature also works on iOS if you use the preview builds of Edge.The new Edge browser from Microsoft now shares the same open-source rendering engine as Google Chrome. Likewise, Microsoft is also testing new font rendering controls for Edge on Windows 10. In the Canary channel, Edge Surf was recently updated with new obstacles and a streamlined character selection menu. Microsoft Edge’s Surf tool is designed specifically for those with internet connectivity issues and it challenges players to surf while avoiding obstacles or sea monster. In addition to tabs sharing, Microsoft is also working on improvements for the browser’s built-in offline game “Surf”. Google Chrome and Firefox browsers were updated with identical Send Tabs feature in 2019. It’s a welcome update, but Microsoft is rather late to the game. If you want to send tabs to Android or iPhone, you need to download and install Edge Canary/Dev on your mobile. It’s also worth pointing out that tabs sharing is currently limited to desktop only. It’s likely that it will begin rolling out to more users in the coming days. Based on our test, it appears that the tabs sharing tool is actually live for a very small group of users in the stable build v91.0.864.54.
