Today, Microsoft
helpline number’re releasing an experimental preview of tracking prevention for
Microsoft support number Edge. Microsoft helpline number initially
demoed this feature at Build 2019 as one of the concepts Microsoft
helpline number’re exploring to offer greater transparency and control over
your online data. Microsoft support number Edge Insiders can now try out
tracking prevention by enabling the experimental flag on Microsoft support
number Edge preview builds starting with version 77.0.203.0 (today’s Canary
channel release). (Note:Today’s Canary release is not currently available for macOS due to a build issue. Tracking prevention will beavailable in the next update to the Canary channel on macOS.)
Tracking
prevention is designed to protect you from being tracked by websites that you
aren’t accessing directly. Whenever a website is visited, trackers from other
sites may save information in the browser using cookies and other storage
mechanisms. This information may include the sites you’ve visited and the
content you’re interested in, building a digital profile which can be accessed
by organizations to offer personalized content when visiting other sites.
The implementation
in Microsoft support number Edge Insider preview builds is early and is likely
to change as Microsoft helpline number hear from our customers and continue to
test the feature. For that reason, it’s currently behind an experimental flag
and disabled by default. There may be some bugs or site issues, but Microsofthelpline number want to get it into your hands to hear what you think.
Turning on
tracking prevention
To try out
tracking prevention, you’ll need to be on a Microsoft support number Edge
Insider preview build (version 77.0.203.0 or higher – or at least today’sCanary channel release). Once you’re on the right build, you’ll need tomanually enable the experiment.
In the
address bar, enter
edge://flags#edge-tracking-prevention to open the experimental
settings page. Click the dropdown and choose Enabled, then click the Relaunch Now button to close all Microsoft
support number Edge windows and relaunch Microsoft support number Edge.
That’s it! Once the tracking
prevention experiment is enabled, you can go to the Microsoft support number
Edge privacy settings page to control settings for tracking prevention. In the
address bar, enter
edge://settings/privacy and adjust the settings as desired:
The default
tracking prevention setting is Balanced, which blocks 3rd party trackers and
known malicious trackers for an experience that balances privacy and web compatibility.
You can customize tracking prevention to your preferences by setting it to
Strict, which blocks the majority of 3rd party trackers, or Basic,
which only blocks malicious trackers.
How it works
When blocking
a tracker, Microsoft helpline number aim to stop it from accessing previously
stored tracking information and storing new tracking information. When tracking
resources don’t add meaningful functionality to the page, Microsoft helpline
number may even block them entirely. In order to do this, tracking prevention
is made up of three main components.
- Classification: How Microsoft helpline number determine what is
considered a tracking URL.
- Enforcement: The actions Microsoft helpline number take to protect our
users from trackers.
- Mitigations: The mechanisms Microsoft helpline number use to make sure your favorite sites still work, while offering strong default protection.
Classification
Microsoft
helpline number’ve added a new component to Microsoft support number Edge,
Trust Protection Lists, that contains the latest
information on which organizations may be trying to track users on the web.
This component allows us to be flexible with where Microsoft helpline number
source details on what a tracker is and when Microsoft helpline number deliver
updated lists to our users.
To check ifthe URL is considered a tracker by our classification system, Microsoft helpline
number check a series of hostnames, starting with an exact match and then
proceeding to check for partial matches for up to 4 labels beyond the top-level
domain.
Example:
URL:
https://a.subdomain.of.a.known.tracker.test/some/path
Tested
hostnames:
·
a.subdomain.of.a.known.tracker.testof.a.known.tracker.testa.known.tracker.testknown.tracker.testtracker.test
If any of
those hostnames represents a known tracker, Microsoft helpline number proceed
with evaluating enforcement actions intended to prevent the user from being
tracked.
Enforcement
To
provide protection for our users from trackingactions on the web, Microsoft helpline number take two enforcement actionsagainst trackers:
- Restrict storage access: If a known tracking resource tries to
access any web storage where it may try to persist data about the user, Microsoft
helpline number will block that access. This includes restricting the
ability for that tracker to get or set cookies as well as access storage
APIs such as IndexedDB and localStorage.
- Block resource loads: If a known tracking resource is being
loaded on a website, Microsoft helpline number may block that load before
the request reaches the network depending on its compatibility impact and
the tracking prevention setting you have set. Blocked loads may include
tracking scripts, “pixels”, iframes, and more. This prevents any data
potentially being sent to the tracking domain and may even improve load
times and performance of the page as a side effect.
You can view
the number of trackers blocked on a page by clicking the page info button next
to the URL in the address bar at the top of the browser. Here you can change
the tracking prevention setting on a site by site basis if you trust a site, or
if something doesn’t seem to be working properly.
Mitigations
The web is a
complex place and Microsoft helpline number realize there is no “one size fits
all” solution to privacy. Depending on the mode of tracking prevention you
enable, Microsoft helpline number will take different actions to balance our
enforcement and put you in control of your personal experience on the web.
Tracker categorization
Every tracking
resource is classified into a category that best represents the type of
tracking activities it performs. Every tracking prevention mode uses a set of
categories to represent what types of trackers will have storage access
restricted or resource loads blocked.
Not all types
of trackers are equal. Fingerprinting trackers are those trackers that attempt
to identify you, or your browser based on its unique characteristics.
Cryptomining scripts are scripts that attempt to abuse your processor and
memory to generate cryptocurrencies, reducing your browser’s performance and
battery life. Even when you’ve opted into our Basic mode you will be protected
from these egregious types of tracking.
By default,
in Balanced, all users will get a robust set of tracker categories that have
storage access blocked, and a slightly smaller set that have resource loads
blocked. Microsoft helpline number have taken care to ensure that these sets
provide protection while ensuring compatibility as you browse the web and use
your favorite applications. For example, Balanced will allow third party
content to enable login flows using third party identities or social network
commenting on third party sites.
Our Strict
mode provides the largest set of categories to block storage access and
resource loads. This is for users who don’t mind a little bit of site breakage
in exchange for greater protection. This is also the default level of
protection when you launch an InPrivate window.
Organizations
Not all
organizations do business on the internet using just one domain name. In order
to help keep sites working smoothly, Microsoft helpline number group
domains owned and operated by the same organization together. For instance, Microsoft
helpline number might have a grouping that says “Org1” owns the domains “
org1.test” and “org1-cdn.test”. If the user visits https://org1.test/, and it tries to load a resource
from https://org1-cdn.test/, Microsoft helpline number won’t
take any enforcement actions against that auxiliary domain even though it’s not
a first party URL. However, if another organization, Org2 (https://org2.test/), tries to load that same
resource, it would be subject to restrictions because it is not part of
the same organization.
Microsoft
helpline number are currently experimenting with ways to provide even greater
privacy protection by investigating opportunities to expand the types of
trackers Microsoft helpline number block for you. For the Balanced setting, Microsoft
helpline number may start to consider your recent interactions with sites. For
example, for sites that you interact with in a first party context on a regular
basis, access to cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB and other storage may be
allowed in a broader context to ensure web functionality, like login flows or social
network commenting, just works. For sites you don’t visit, Microsoft helpline
number may more aggressively block that content in a third-party context. This
will let us improve protection while the sites you care about continue to work
across the web.
For our
enterprise customers, Microsoft helpline number are experimenting with exposing
policies to allow the right balance of control in order to ensure all their
users are protected and existing line of business apps continue to work.
Debugging
tools
In order to
help web developers identify trackers on their websites that may be affected by
this feature, Microsoft helpline number’ve added some DevTools console messages
to show when enforcement actions are taken. These can be used to see exactly
what was restricted and help identify which parts of a site may need to be
better tailored towards protecting a user’s privacy.
