No, I do not use any ad blocker.

I have found that Clear Browser Data was having Cookies and saved website data checked for being cleared when I close the browser. I can see that I can now save the cookies.

Interestingly enough, google.com kept bugging me with the mention to switch to Chrome when I access the webiste. Even when clicking NO THANKS, it kept asking me for this one additional time after a new Edge restart. When I did the simulation again, it did ask me two more times. For some kind of reason, it appears this one requires a few browser restarts before it completely acknowledges the setting.

Thanks, this seems to have resolved the issue.
