FIREFOX 63 WILL FEATURE AN ENHANCED CONTENT BLOCKING SYSTEM

The Firefox web browser currently has a system that allows blocking of tracking systems, to improve the privacy of users in their web browsing sessions.

Available in general since last November, although initially released in 2014 on Firefox Nightly for desktop and Android, this system will receive a significant improvement during the second half of this year.

It will be with the launch of Firefox 63 , scheduled for October 23 this year, when the browser launches the improved version of this system, as revealed Mozilla months ago.

The new system will replace the current system, integrating it with new options, including one that allows you to block content whose load takes longer than usual.

The new system will be known as Content Blocking and, according to gHacks , its access will be available in the main menu and information panel of the site. Users can turn it on and off and can even set up exceptions and lists. In addition, they can also reset the values ​​to their default values.

Other aspects to be taken into account are that it still does not include the possibility of total blocking of ads and, on the other hand, Mozilla is also working on other functions to ensure more privacy within Firefox, such as the possibility of restricting, or even eliminating, access of third-party crawlers to cookies to limit tracking capabilities, according to the above-mentioned publication.
