[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 858458, member: 82776"] Without having tested them. Based on the technology used, this is my take on it. They are based on the same Disconnect blocklist. Firefox additionally has 'containers' (explained [URL='https://support.mozilla.org/uk/kb/containers']here[/URL]), Microsoft blocks more trackers from additional Disconnect categories and prevents website breakage by monitoring (tracking ;) ) the user engagement with a website (explained [URL='https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2019/12/03/improving-tracking-prevention-microsoft-edge-79/']here[/URL]). Containers are a well known isolation principle used in Operating Systems. User engagement scoring is a well known metric in digital marketing. From a security/privacy point of view container mechanism is the best choice. From a useability/functionality point of view the engagement scoring mechanism is the best choice. The container mechansim suits the technical/privacy aware user better and already is implemented today. In the long run the user engagement mechansme will be easier to to use and probably will provide better tracking protection (engagement scoring models will be more accurate using telemetry data and machine learning).
