How Tracking Protection works

 

Here’s a simplified example of Tracking Protection at work, with a page that includes an advertisement and a tracking pixel from two third-party sites.

Because xyz-ads.com is on the Block list, no request is sent to its server and the space where the ad should go remains blank. But abc-analytics is on an Allow list, so that request goes through.

For more details on how Tracking Protection works, see IE9 and Tracking Protection: Microsoft disrupts the online ad business.

I don't mind a tasteful, unobtrusive, informative ad, and I understand the reasons for them. What I can't abide are the ads that smash themselves into your face with blinking, coruscating, maddeningly kaleidoscopic visual effects. So I use ad blockers. They undoubtedly block the "good" ads along with the bad, but there's no other simple way to avoid the intolerable ones.

I like it! Now I can finally banish doubleclick and several even more obnoxious ones which slow down my access to a web site while loading themselves.
