Mozilla’s complete cookie protection should be activated by default in the Firefox browser in the future. The company shared that in one blog article With. Accordingly, Firefox should become the “most private and most secure major browser”.
Cookie Protection limits cookies to the website that created them. In this way, Mozilla wants to prevent tracking companies from tracking the surfing behavior of users across multiple websites. At the same time, surfing behavior should not be restricted, since the cookies are not completely prevented from working.
Mozilla appropriately compares cookie protection to a cookie jar: “With full cookie protection, a separate “cookie jar” is created for each website you visit. […] Whenever a website – or third-party content embedded in a website – deposits a cookie on your browser, that cookie is limited to the cookie collection point uniquely assigned to that website. So no other website can reach into the cookie jar that doesn’t belong to them – and therefore can’t find out what the cookies on the other websites know about you.”
Cookie protection for Firefox was first introduced last year. Until now, however, it had to be activated by the user in the settings. By default, it was only active in private mode. From now on, this is also the case with normal browsing via Firefox.
