Mozilla Firefox will soon be able to block Ad Trackers by default as the company is testing the feature for the browser. The new feature was rolled out for Firefox Nightly users recently and will soon be rolling out to the public.
The new feature will activate when it detects an Ad Tracker or if a tracker is slowing down a page and will block it. Mozilla will study how well this feature works, and if all goes according to the plan, the feature will make its way to the Firefox browser soon.
Not only that, Firefox also plans to block Cryptocurrency miners and fingerprint trackers with the upcoming update. The Firefox version 63 update is scheduled to roll out to the public on October 23.
We do hope that Mozilla finalizes both the features by then. However, if you’re interested in trying the features out right now then you can head to Mozilla’s website and download the Nightly build. That said, Nightly builds are usually unstable and are not recommended for daily use.
