Future Plans for Enhanced Protection
Enhanced fingerprint protection features are currently available in Private Browsing Mode and ETP Strict mode in Firefox. Mozilla plans to make it a default setting in upcoming browser releases to strengthen digital privacy further.
Continued Commitment to Privacy
Since 2020, Mozilla has been dedicated to enhancing user privacy with features like Enhanced Tracking Protection and Total Cookie Protection. The latest update in Firefox 145 shows the firm’s commitment to providing robust privacy defenses against digital tracking.
