Private browsing becomes more private on Mozilla Firefox





A feature that will appeal to those who do not like to be tracked on the internet.




When using private browsing tabs in web browsers, sometimes we tend to believe it is impossible to know that one is connected to a particular site. But the truth is that although it actually ensures that we visited pages are not stored in your browsing history, it is still possible server side to identify us. As explained by Mozilla in August, "the owners of the sites you visit [...] can always consult your browsing activities."

But it has begun testing a feature that makes private browsing a little more privacy on its Firefox browser. And today, it arrives on the latest stable version of the browser (version 42).

The feature is called Tracking Protection and Mozilla as stated, with this feature, no other browser has a navigation mode that protects you as will that of Firefox. It will be deployed on Windows, Mac, Android and Linux browser and substance, it will block ads, traffic analysis trackers and social buttons that are likely "to record your behavior without your knowledge through the sites. "

And secondly, the browser also offers a control center that will allow the user to easily manage this functionality. In addition, it will still be possible to turn off the Tracking Protection for some sites when they will not be displayed properly because of blockages elements.
