Switching from Edge

Aekant vs Microsoft Edge

Edge’s tracking prevention is a start. Aekant finishes the job — real ad blocking, your own filter rules, a fingerprint that changes on every page, and containers that keep work, banking and personal life apart in a single window.

About the Edge column.

Edge offers tracking prevention in three levels and separate profiles for work, school and personal use, each opening in its own window. Ad blocking and custom rules require extensions. The Edge column above is based on these vendor sources.
