However, with a bit of effort and some regular expression magic to convert the majority of the C++ to something a little more C#-alike, Calculator went cross-platform.Īndroid and iOS users can get the app from their respective stores (iOS users will need TestFlight installed first) or you can savour the delight of Calculator by simply heading over to the web version. The challenge, of course, was that much of the elderly code was written in C++ while Uno prefers C#. It is also possible to turn it off on a site-by-site basis if the system appears a little more paranoid than desired. While still very preview, we found the feature worked as advertised, with a satisfying number of trackers blocked. Finally, there is "Strict", which blocks the majority of trackers but "might break. "Balanced" (the default), which blocks more but will result in "less relevant ads". The feature has now put in an appearance in versions 77.0.203.0 and higher, enabled via an experimental setting.Īs promised (although the team warns this is preview and so subject to change), three levels are available: "Basic", which only blocks trackers Microsoft deems malicious (such as fingerprinting or crypto-mining), but allows through those to keep adverts creepily relevant.
The built-in ability to block trackers – those pesky bits of privacy-invading code aimed at "building a digital profile" to fling targeted ads at users (and worse) – was one of the standout features announced for the embryonic nu-Edge browser at Microsoft's developer shindig, Build.
Roundup Microsoft's future might be Chromium Edge, machine learning and Azure, but there was no escaping the Ghost of Windows Past this week.
