Sense Tracking Protection does not work?

Hi,
i try to take some tests. I found a Website: https://panopticlick.eff.org/
On this Website you can check the tracking protection. I have eneabled the Protection
in the Sense App / Router. The Website showed me that my devices are unprotected!
I test my Smartphone with Google Chrome and a Computer with Google Chrome.
I have done a few tests because I've been wondering about personalized advertising
on different websites. A few weeks ago, I received much less advertising.
Especially no personalized advertising.
Update: ok i found the reason. Tracking Protection does not work on HTTPS Sites.
My old IPS/IDS System like Suricata can take a look in HTTPS Sessions.
When I visit a banking site, the https connection is not broken.
Banking sites are recognized by the IPS / IDS system.
Almost all websites I visit use https connections.

Hi,
Tracking protection should also work for HTTPS sites on the level that we can identify the tracking domains the websites are accessing. The panopticlick is a simulation test and uses some domains we didn't have ratings for, but we made some adjustments in the cloud detections so at least the result should be a bit better.
