Just for fun I'm temporarily running Edge with strict tracker blocking only, just to see what it blocks for a super user-friendly setup!

Is there a specific reason why you are using AdGuard DNS and not NextDNS anymore?

I mean it's up to you but I just think NextDNS is the better and more customizable version of AdGuard DNS if you set it up correctly.

Maybe I'll give it a go once more. Right now I'm using only Edge's built-in tracking protection as a test. I wanted to see how effective it is.
Cloudflare is marginally faster for some people in some places, Quad9 marginally faster for other people in other places, both have very large networks, Quad9's somewhat larger. But the big difference, as I think you're seeing, is in uptime... Quad9 hasn't had any system-wide downtime yet, in five years of operation. Cloudflare has been at this three or four years now, and hasn't been able to maintain even three nines of uptime:

Checking out TinyWall again after a few years. It still looks the same even though it's completely new under the hood. Version 3.0xxx installed and setup with ease.

Checking out the performance of latest Privacy Badger with Edge built-in strict tracking prevention, just for kicks.

Did you enable the learning mechanism or did you just leave it on default?

I just asked out of curiosity. But if you ask me then you should just delete it again and stick with your basic but effective non-extension approach (apart from uBlock Origin)Default at the moment. I'm on the fence about learning mode. What's your advice?
Thats why I recommended NextDNS before, because you can achieve extra ad, tracking, malware and phishing blocking without the need of another extension that has an negative impact on your privacy.

µBO hard mode is really very easy to use with a bit of trial and error because you start to identify the key 3rd party players on the sites you visit. Impressive blocking ability and page loading!

Much like learning to use NoScript though I wish uBo had sie reputation lookup so you and easily identify web services / data sources.µBO hard mode is really very easy to use with a bit of trial and error because you start to identify the key 3rd party players on the sites you visit.

I'm currently using this setup with uBO: Browser Add-on - uBlock0rigin in Medium mode for Lighter and Stronger Protection, with Less websites breakage and hassle
