Take back your privacy

Firefox is rolling out Total Cookie Protection by default to more Firefox users worldwide, making Firefox the most private and secure major browser available across Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.

What is Total Cookie Protection?

Total Cookie Protection works by creating a separate “cookie jar” for each website you visit. Instead of allowing trackers to link up your behavior on multiple sites, they just get to see behavior on individual sites. Any time a website, or third-party content embedded in a website, deposits a cookie in your browser, that cookie is confined to the cookie jar assigned to only that website. No other websites can reach into the cookie jars that don’t belong to them and find out what the other websites’ cookies know about you — giving you freedom from invasive ads and reducing the amount of information companies gather about you.

      And starting in 2024, all our users can look forward to Firefox blocking even more third party cookies.

      In other words, it wasn’t enabled worldwide by default. That’s the update and headline of the news. Got it through RSS news feed directly from Mozilla Blog.
