Firefox 145’s Privacy Boost: The Digital Detective’s New Nightmare!
Firefox 145 is strapping on its privacy cape, taking a superhero leap against digital fingerprinting. Initially debuting in Private Browsing Mode and ETP Strict mode, these new protections will soon become the default setting. So, grab your popcorn as Firefox battles the sneaky fingerprinting villains, aiming to protect 80% of its users from being tracked!
Hot Take:
Mozilla’s latest update to Firefox is like fitting your browser with a digital invisibility cloak. While it’s not quite the Marauder’s Map, it’s a promising step towards making digital fingerprinting as outdated as MySpace! But remember, with great power comes great responsibility; or in this case, the occasional website hiccup.
Key Points:
- Firefox 145 introduces new privacy features against digital fingerprinting.
- Initial rollout is in Private Browsing and ETP Strict mode only.
- New measures include random noise to images and standardized font use.
- Despite enhancements, full blocking isn’t possible due to potential site issues.
- No more 32-bit Linux version; Firefox bids farewell to the past.
