Do you think so? + +![mozilla firefox][1] + +Mozilla Firefox is one of the most secure open-source web browsers available. + +Undoubtedly, you get the freedom to customize it to harden security, which is why Tor Browser utilizes Firefox at its core. + +And, also one of the [reasons why I keep coming back to Firefox][2]. + +Now, Mozilla has finally enabled a new feature for **all desktop users,** making it the most secure browser (or as they claim). + +Here, I’m not talking about anything new, but an existing feature in Firefox, i.e., Total Cookie Protection. It was introduced with [Firefox 86][3] last year, but it was not enabled by default for all users. + +### Total Cookie Protection for all users + +Whether you are using Windows, Mac, or Linux, the Total Cookie Protection is being rolled out to everyone, making it one of its core features enabled by default. + +Initially, to use the feature, you had to enable the strict mode (Enhanced Tracking Protection). But, now, you no longer need to do that. + +**What is it?** + +In case you are curious, Total Cookie Protection isolates every website with its cookies. Cookies are small bits of data sent to your browser by a website. + +So, the cookies will not be shared among websites, thereby, preventing cross-site tracking. + +Separate cookie jars will be created for each website you visit. + +![][4] + +Mozilla’s blog post explains more about it as: + +> Any time a website, or [third-party content][5] 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. + +### So, Is it a big deal? + +Even with all the privacy tracking protection and content blockers in place, cross-site tracking is a problem that not everyone is aware of. + +Hence, with cross-site cookie interactions, a lot of your personal activities and habits can help a digital tracking company build an online profile of yours. + +But, with Mozilla Firefox, enabling the feature by default on top of all other privacy measures by Firefox, ensures that you should get the most private experience. + +And, all that without needing to tweak anything, which should make things convenient for any privacy-centric user. + +If you are still curious, you can refer to the [official announcement post][6] by Mozilla. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-firefox-secure/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/mozilla-made-firefox-most-secure-web-browser.jpg +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/why-mozilla-firefox/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/firefox-86-release/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/tcp-firefox.png +[5]: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/third-party-cookies-firefox-tracking-protection#:~:text=Third%2Dparty%20cookies%20are%20cookies,considered%20a%20third%2Dparty%20cookie. +[6]: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-out-total-cookie-protection-by-default-to-all-users-worldwide/
