Hi everyone,
I was curious if the MS Edge browser supports "Encrypted Client Hello" (ECH). It appears to be a significant feature—it encrypts the names of the websites you visit, making it a kind of anti-censorship tool. I believe it works with Chrome, Firefox, and possibly other browsers as well. However, I haven't managed to turn it on through Edge yet. Thanks in advance for your help.

Apologies for the delay.
Thank you very much.
@COLGeek
I've also verified online that the ECH was activated. However, when attempting to access a blocked site, I consistently encounter the error:
"HTTP 451 - File unavailable For Legal Reasons".
This issue was identified in early 2020 when it became clear that internet providers were deploying nationwide blocking techniques. They simply can't stop the flow.
Regards.
