Do you set the Tracking Prevention setting to Balanced or Strict?

I keep mine as STRICT and so far had no issues with websites breaking.

With the Balanced setting, I still get the ads.

Just wondering if anyone keeps it as Balanced or Strict?

If I set it back to Balanced I still have some ads. Do these ads sometimes have malware in them? If not, then i will leave it as Balanced.

As for the Cookies settings, I do have the Block Third-party cookies turned on.
