FACEBOOK AD BLOCKER FOR FIREFOX INSTALL
Enhanced Tracking Protection blocks sites from tracking youįor new users who install and download Firefox for the first time, Enhanced Tracking Protection will automatically be set on by default as part of the ‘Standard’ setting in the browser and will block known “third-party tracking cookies” according to the Disconnect list. Additionally, we’re updating our privacy-focused features including an upgraded Facebook Container extension, a Firefox desktop extension for Lockwise, a way to keep their passwords safe across all platforms, and Firefox Monitor’s new dashboard to manage multiple email addresses.
Today, Firefox will be rolling out this feature, Enhanced Tracking Protection, to all new users on by default, to make it harder for over a thousand companies to track their every move. One of those initiatives outlined was to block cookies from known third party trackers in Firefox.
Last year, we announced our new approach to anti-tracking, and our commitment to help people stay safe whenever they used Firefox. With this new, increased awareness for privacy, we feel that the time is right for the next step in stronger online protections for everyone. At Firefox, we have been working on setting this standard by offering privacy-related features, like Tracking Protection in Private Browsing, long before these issues were brought to light. We believe that in order to truly protect people, we need to establish a new standard that puts people’s privacy first. It’s unfortunate that this shift had to happen in order for tech companies to take notice. This past year, we’ve seen tech companies talk a big game about privacy as they’re realizing that, after several global scandals, people feel increasingly vulnerable. I believe that Firefox has and will continue to make a big impact in building the necessary protections to keep people safe online.
As a long-time employee with 10+ years, I’ve seen a lot of things within the tech industry from data breaches, net neutrality and the rise and fall of tech companies. We recommend this add-on to all users.It’s been several weeks since I was promoted to Senior Vice President of Firefox, responsible for overall Firefox product and web platform development. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We found Adblock to be very effective and easy to use, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a smoother, less cluttered Web-browsing experience.Īdblock for Chrome is free. Like most browser add-ons, Adblock doesn't have a Help file, but it's pretty straightforward. This extension offers plenty of options for customization, allowing users to specify domains for which they don't want ads blocked, select specific filters, and submit ads that Adblock missed. Using Adblock also results in the practical advantage of faster page loads, which is always a plus. A small notification in the bottom right corner of the screen lets you know when a pop-up has been blocked, and you can choose to have Adblock stop blocking pop-ups from individual sites if desired. Using the Internet with Adblock is oddly peaceful all you see is the content you're looking for, and not all the distracting clutter that we've grown accustomed to. Facebook ads, Google ads, pop-up ads? Check, check, and check. Those crazy annoying Flash ads that seem to be popping up everywhere? You bet. Who knew that one little browser add-on could make surfing the Internet so much more enjoyable?Īdblock does exactly what its name implies: it blocks ads. We loved you in Firefox, and Adblock for Chrome is just as wonderful.
