Firefox will terminate third-party tracking and cookies, something that Google Chrome cannot yet do.
Recent Firefox updates are geared towards enhancing user privacy and experience.
Firefox will become more "tidy"
The upcoming Firefox 89 update will bring a smoother browsing experience with an interface called Firefox Proton. In addition, Firefox will terminate third-party tracking and cookies.
Website notifications take up less screen space. The information bar and main menu are minimal. Web pages that automatically play the sound will be muted.
The tabs are rounded and easier to navigate than in previous versions. The font changes are somewhat softer and the spacing is wider.
Privacy priority web browser
Firefox continuously improves security to protect user privacy against new threats. Some websites can bypass traditional browser protections by refusing to function without their tracking files.
The SmartBlock feature is a mechanism with the ability to block trackers of web pages. In addition, the cookies of each website will now be stored separately to prevent cross-sharing of data between websites. (Platforms like Facebook use cookies on many websites to track even if the user is not using Facebook.) HTTPS-Only mode is used to load encrypted HTTPS websites. Firefox will not load HTTP-only web pages to avoid eavesdropping and collect data from third parties.
Container Tab allows users to run multiple individual sessions of a website in the same tab. This allows you to multitask between your work account and your personal account. Additionally, the container tabs act as an incognito tab that is completely separate from the rest of the browser data.
Mozilla Firefox offers a smoother experience than Google Chrome on machines with 8 GB of memory.
A secure open network
Google giant has just started testing FloC technology, this tool is a preparation step for the elimination of third-party cookies on the Google Chrome browser.
However, FloC will not apply to the first party, ie Google can still collect data when users use Google products. This move shows the monopoly of Google in the web and advertising industry on Chrome browser.
Mozilla Firefox and Safari do not plan to adopt FloC technology.
“Advertising and privacy can coexist. The advertising industry will have to change and we want to play a role in building a better website, ”the Mozilla representative told Laptopmag.
