Firefox is a bit different than other browsers when it comes to private browsing. Not only does it not keep track of your web browsing history, but Firefox also has tracking protection enabled which will block parts of sites from tracking your browsing history across multiple sites. ..
Firefox will prevent ads from being displayed when you are in private mode. This is a feature that was added in Firefox 43.
To enable private browsing in Firefox, click on the hamburger icon at the top right and then select New Private Window. You can also just use the CTRL + SHIFT + P keyboard shortcut. ..
You will be able to tell you are in private mode because the mask is located in the top right of the window.
Private browsing mode in Chrome allows you to keep your browsing activity private, without the tracking by your ISP, employer or software.
Firefox is a web browser that includes tracking protection. Tracking protection is enabled by default, but can be turned off. Firefox uses the standard list provided by Disconnect, which blocks common advertising trackers, social sharing trackers and analytics trackers. ..
If you want even more protection from online tracking, you can enable the strict protection list. This will block all trackers, but it might break some sites. You can enable the stricter list by clicking on the hamburger icon, then clicking on Options and then going to Privacy. ..
This button changes the list of programs that are blocked by your computer’s security software.
Now go ahead and click on the Disconnect.me strict protection list and then click Save Changes. So what exactly does this do? Well, here’s an example of my own website below. Disconnect.me is a website that helps protect your online privacy by allowing you to create a strict protection list of websites that you want to be disconnected from. Once you have created your list, clicking on the Save Changes button will ensure that these websites will no longer be able to track or collect any information about you or your browsing habits. ..
If you open up the web console, you’ll see exactly what resources get blocked. In my case, all the ads from Google are blocked, Kontera, the Google Analytics script, and Google+. Your browsing will definitely be faster and more private using this mode. Obviously, it hurts sites that make their money off ads like mine, but that’s your choice. ..
If you need to allow trackers on specific sites, you can click on the little shield icon in the address bar and then click on Disable protection for this session.
If you want to always use private browsing mode in Firefox, you can do that by going to the Privacy tab under Options and then choosing “Never remember history” next to Firefox will: under the History heading. ..
Firefox will always use private browsing mode when you are using it. ..
Firefox will delete all cookies and other data when it is closed in Private Browsing mode. ..
Firefox’s private browsing implementation is great from a privacy and security perspective, and it’s definitely worth using if you need to keep your browsing history private. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy! ..
