Firefox by Mozilla is doubling down on blocking cookies tracking users' web browsing activities. In the Firefox 86 update, the company has added a new feature called Total Cookie Protection, designed to limit tracking cookies within the websites they are created on so you won't be tracked across the web.
Certainly, cookies serve not only tracking purposes but also ensure the functionality of a website. In this scenario, Total Cookie Protection introduces a limited exception for cookies across multiple websites when necessary for non-tracking purposes, such as those used by third-party login providers, to preserve user browsing experience. This new feature emerges just 1 month after Firefox introduced measures to defend against Supercookies - a more versatile tracking tool.
Total Cookie Protection, along with Firefox's current efforts, will bolster the ability to thwart websites and online advertisers from utilizing cookies, as well as other computer scripts constructing profiles of your web browsing history. This encompasses blocking third-party tracking cookies and browser fingerprinting technologies by default.
However, Total Cookie Protection won't be enabled by default. Instead, users need to activate this feature by accessing privacy and security settings in the browser and switching the Enhanced Tracking Protection mode from Standard to Strict.
In addition to preventing websites from sharing cookies and recording your web browsing history, Firefox 86 also enhances support for viewing multiple videos simultaneously in PiP mode, a more streamlined Print function integrated better with computer settings, along with notable performance enhancements by transferring WebGL and canvas rendering to the GPU. Currently, you can upgrade Firefox to version 86 for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
