It seems that the signature of the fox logo is now betting on what Opera has also been doing in recent years, which is the total blocking of everything that is the monitoring of the user, including advertising and especially the protection of its users against the mining of cryptocurrencies and more.
And it is that at least during the months that have elapsed this year, Mozilla has worked hard to improve the security of your browser in many ways, adding a plus in which users can see an excellent proposal to trust web browsing.
But all these new functions that have been added to Mozilla are new to browsers, because as I said before, if something I like about Opera is that it usually offers features that no other browser dares to do (not at least for several months).
One of these is a function is the blocking of those websites that mine cryptocurrencies with the resources of your computer. Since in the last year there were many scandals about quite popular websites that used this technique.
Another of the features Mozilla unveiled this year that were incorporated into the browser ands blocking fingerprintingWhere this technique is based on identifying and tracking the user or mobile user based on a unique fingerprint, websites can use several parameters.
For example, they can go through the enumeration of browser plugins, the variable "user agent", the list of sources on your system, and so on.
Mozilla continues its efforts against user tracking
Without a doubt Mozilla has worked very well in implementing various functions in order to protect the web activity of its users, but even these efforts have fallen short against it.
And now, Mozilla developers have recently released the designs for the next enhancements. of the interface related to keeping data confidential and blocking movement tracking.
Among the innovations find a new option to block social media widgets that track the movement of users on third-party sites (for example, Facebook Like buttons and paste Twitter messages).
For forms of authentication through an account on social networks, it is possible to temporarily disable the lock.
Well, it turns out that the tool that Mozilla launched at the end of March 2018 Facebook Container, has not managed to achieve the results they expected.
Facebook Container is an implementation of the contextual tabs or container technology that Mozilla has been working on for several years. This tool, as its name implies, isolates Facebook from the rest of your web browsing activity, which should prevent the social network from following the user to any part of the web.
Among other changes, they also highlighted the modernization of the panel to manage locks, displayed by clicking the (i) icon in the address bar.
In addition to changing the panel layout and adding new options instead of the (i) icon, several new indicators were proposed, which allow you to immediately assess the activity of certain blocking modes.
The panel also provides an information banner output with indications and information about the blocking that is disabled due to the presence of the site in the whitelist (includes sites whose blocking of counters causes problems when displaying information on the page).
The dashboard has a link to the full report on crashes completed, where you can track the number of crashes by days of the week and types.
Finally we can see that in the designs shown, there is also a new product not yet announced, Firefox Proxy, on which it is only known that it is a new addition to improve security in public wireless networks.
