When using Edge in private mode, as I have for 15 years, Microsoft is blocking my access to Chaturbate, changing the page and not allowing me to sign in, basically censoring what I am allowed to look at on the web. This only happens when using my PC, all other platforms work perfectly, like phone or non microsoft tablets. This started Sept 8th. Why are you CENSORING a 50 year old person on the Web???????

    Go to Settings -> Privacy Search and Services -> Tracking Prevention

    Uncheck the option Always use "Strict" tracking prevention when browsing InPrivate

    when in private mode, many browser tracking features are disabled. your particular site is probably requires some of these feature to be enabled.

    popups may need to be enabled.

    Edge does not "censor" sites. It never has. The only sites Edge will block are those configured to be blocked by your network policies and sites that have been identified as potentially malicious.

    changing the page and not allowing me to sign in

    Please provide screenshots/clarifications as to how the page(s) are being changed and what, if any, errors you're getting at sign in.

    This only happens when using my PC, all other platforms work perfectly,

    That doesn't really tell us anything useful at all. Have you tried another browser on this PC such as Chrome, Firefox or Brave? Chrome/Brave are based on the same engine as Edge. If they don't work either then the issue is probably around the Chromium engine they all use. If they work then it is more likely something related to a security setting in Edge that is preventing the site from rendering.

    Check the console output of the browser (F12) to look for errors. If the site is having issues rendering then it should tell you that there.

    Yes! Microsoft Edge blocks sites like Chaturbate in private mode because of its built-in security systems such as SmartScreen and Family Safety filters, which automatically restrict adult or unsafe content. Even though private mode hides your browsing history, it doesn’t disable these protections.

    Sometimes, your Microsoft account, network provider, or antivirus software can also enforce adult-content restrictions. Microsoft does this to ensure online safety and comply with content policies, not to monitor personal behavior.

    If you’re an adult, you can adjust settings by turning off SmartScreen or checking Family Safety settings, though disabling these protections isn’t generally recommended for safe browsing.
