Firefox web browser now features a system that can block tracking systems to improve the privacy of users in their web browsing sessions.
Generally available since last November, although initially launched in 2014 in Firefox Nightly for the desktop and Android, this system will receive a significant improvement during the second half of this year.
It will be with the release of Firefox 63, scheduled for October 23rd this year when the browser will release the improved version of this system, as revealed by Mozilla months ago.
The new system will replace the current system, integrating it with new options, including one that allows you to block content that takes longer to load than usual.
The new system will be known as Content Blocking and, according to gHacks, its access will be available both from the main menu and from the site’s information panel. Users can enable and disable it, and even configure exceptions and lists. Also, they can also reset the settings to their defaults.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that it will not yet integrate the possibility of total ad blocking, and on the other hand, Mozilla is also working on other features to ensure further privacy within Firefox, such as the ability to restrict or even remove third-party trackers’ access to cookies to limit tracking capabilities, according to the publication.
