I am now on Windows 10, which as members know, uses the new Microsoft Edge web browser.
There is under "Safety" two items offered for which I would like users comments.
1) Turn on Tracking Protection
2) Turn on Do Not Track requests
I searched on Google as to whether I should turn these on but did not get a definitive answer, perhaps Forum members could advise me.

Hi Maurice,

I use windows 10 but my browser is Firefox, which I have been using for more years than I can remember, so as far as I know you don`t have to make this decision. I`ve always found Firefox safer than any windows browser. Google chrome is probably the best & safest but tends to be to intrusive.
Regards,
James.

Yes Maurice. Turn them on.
You always want to restrict websites from tracking you.
This option can be found in firefox, on by default, as well.
If you wish to see it, go to tools, options, privacy, and you will see the entry at the top.
Cheers,
Matt
