Great News! Firefox 69 Blocks Third-Party Cookies, Autoplay Videos & Cryptominers by Default
======
If youre using [Mozilla Firefox][1] and havent updated yet to the latest version, you are missing a lot of new and important features.
### Awesome new features in Firefox 69 release
To start with, Mozilla Firefox 69 enforces stronger security and privacy options by default. Here are some of the major highlights of the new release.
#### Firefox 69 blocks autoplay videos
![][2]
A lot of websites offer auto-play videos nowadays. No matter whether it is a pop-up video or a video embedded in an article set to autoplay, it is blocked by default (or you may be prompted about it).
The [Block Autoplay][3] feature gives users to block any video playing automatically.
#### No more third party tracking cookies
By default, as part of the Enhanced Tracking Protection feature, it will now block third-party tracking cookies and crypto miners. This is a very useful change to enhance privacy protection while using Mozilla Firefox.
There are two kind of cookies: first party and third party. The first party cookies are owned by the website itself. These are the good cookies that improve your browsing experience by keeping you logged in, remembering your password or entry fields etc. The third party cookies are owned by domains other than the website you visit. Ad servers use these cookies to track you and serve you tracking ads on all the website you visit. Firefox 69 aims to block these.
You will observe the shield icon in the address bar when its active. You may choose to disable it for specific websites.

#### No more cryptomining off your CPU
![][5]
The lust for cryptocurrency has plagued the world. The cost of GPU has gone high because the professional cryptominers use them for mining cryptocurrency.
People are using computers at work to secretly mine cryptocurrency. And when I say work, I dont necessarily mean an IT company. Only this year, [people got caught mining cryptocurency at a nuclear plant in Ukrain][6][.][6]
Thats not it. If you visit some websites, they run scripts and use your computers CPU to mine cryptocurrency. This is called [cryptojacking][7] in IT terms.
The good thing is that Firefox 69 will automatically blocking cryptominers. So websites should not be able to exploit your system resources for cryptojacking.
#### Stronger Privacy with Firefox 69
![][8]
If you take it up a notch with a stricter setting, it will block fingerprinters as well. So, you wont have to worry about sharing your computers configuration info via [fingerprinters][9] when you choose the strict privacy setting in Firefox 69.
In the [official blog post about the release][10], Mozilla mentions that with this release, they expect to provide protection for 100% of our users by default.
#### Performance Improvements
Even though Linux hasnt been mentioned in the changelog it mentions performance, UI, and battery life improvements for systems running on Windows 10/mac OS. If you observe any performance improvements, do mention it in comments.
**Wrapping Up**
In addition to all these, theres a lot of under-the-hood improvements as well. You can check out the details in the [release notes][11].
Firefox 69 is an impressive update for users concerned about their privacy. Similar to our recommendation on some of the [secure email services][12] recently, we recommend you to update your browser to get the best out of it. The new update is already available in most Linux distributions. You just have to update your system.
If you are interested in browsers that block ads and tracking cookies, try [open source Brave browser][13]. They are even giving you their own cryptocurrency for using their web browser. You can use it to reward your favorite publishers.
What do you think about this release? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Firefox 69 默认阻拦第三方 Cookie、自动播放的视频和加密矿工
======
如果你使用的是 [Mozilla Firefox][1] 并且尚未更新到最新版本,那么你将错过许多新的重要功能。
### Firefox 69 版本中的一些新功能
首先Mozilla Firefox 69 会默认强制执行更强大的安全和隐私选项。以下是新版本的一些主要亮点。
#### Firefox 69 阻拦视频自动播放
![][2]
现在很多网站都提供了自动播放视频。无论是弹出视频还是嵌入在文章中设置为自动播放的视频默认情况下Firefox 69 都会阻止它(或者可能会提示你)。
这个[阻拦自动播放][3]功能可让用户自动阻止任何视频播放。
#### 禁止第三方跟踪 cookie
默认情况下,作为<ruby>增强型跟踪保护<rt>Enhanced Tracking Protection</rt></ruby>功能的一部分,它现在将阻止第三方跟踪 Cookie 和加密矿工。这是 Mozilla Firefox 的增强隐私保护功能的非常有用的改变。
Cookie 有两种:第一方的和第三方的。第一方 cookie 由网站本身拥有。这些是“好的 cookie”可以让你保持登录、记住你的密码或输入字段等来改善浏览体验。第三方 cookie 由你访问的网站以外的域所有。广告服务器使用这些 Cookie 来跟踪你并在你访问的所有网站上跟踪广告。Firefox 69 旨在阻止这些。
当它发挥作用时,你将在地址栏中看到盾牌图标。你可以选择为特定网站禁用它。
![Firefox Blocking Tracking][4]
#### 禁止加密矿工消耗你的 CPU
![][5]
对加密货币的欲望一直困扰着这个世界。GPU 的价格已经高企,因为专业的加密矿工们使用它们来挖掘加密货币。
人们使用工作场所的计算机秘密挖掘加密货币。当我说工作场所时,我不一定是指 IT 公司。就在今年,[人们在乌克兰的一家核电站抓住了偷挖加密货币的活动][6]。
不仅如此。如果你访问某些网站,他们会运行脚本并使用你的计算机的 CPU 来挖掘加密货币。这在 IT 术语中被称为 <ruby>[挖矿攻击][7]<rt>cryptojacking</rt></ruby>
好消息是 Firefox 69 会自动阻止这些加密矿工脚本。因此,网站不再能利用你的系统资源进行挖矿攻击了。
#### Firefox 69 带来的更强隐私保护
![][8]
如果你把隐私保护设置得更严格,那么它也会阻止指纹。因此,当你在 Firefox 69 中选择严格的隐私设置时,你不必担心通过[指纹][9]共享计算机的配置信息。
在[关于这次发布的官方博客文章][10]中Mozilla 提到,在此版本中,他们希望默认情况下为 100 的用户提供保护。
#### 性能改进
尽管在更新日志中没有提及 Linux但它提到了在 Windows 10/mac OS 上运行性能、UI 和电池寿命有所改进。如果你发现任何性能改进,请在评论中提及。
### 总结
除了所有这些之外,还有很多底层的改进。你可以查看[发行说明][11]中的详细信息。
Firefox 69 对于关注其隐私的用户来说是一个令人印象深刻的更新。与我们最近对某些[安全电子邮件服务][12]的建议类似,我们建议你更新浏览器以充分受益。新版本已在大多数 Linux 发行版中提供,你只需要更新你的系统即可。
如果你对阻止广告和跟踪 Cookie 的浏览器感兴趣,请尝试[开源的 Brave 浏览器][13],他们甚至给你提供了加密货币以让你使用他们的浏览器,你可以使用这些加密货币来奖励你最喜爱的发布商。
你觉得这个版本怎么样?请在下面的评论中告诉我们你的想法。
