I will support this by continuing to use their browser, or at least always have them downloaded and ready on my devices. I'm using Chrome right now because it's easier on the RAM and my computer is an old, broken wreck. But as soon as I get a new one, I'll change browser again.
I'm so sleepy that I simply cannot read that wall of text
but DO NOT TRACK has been an option on browsers for ages, am I missing something?? Wth firefox?Pretty sure they're just capitalizing on the privacy drama and that this isn't news at all. I'm like 70% sure they were one of the first ones to introduce it years ago. It feels like years...
It's a preloaded default option on internet explorer 10, perhaps earlier versions. Microsoft is the first ones to enable the option at default.
Go to chrome settings or [chrome://settings] in your address bar, hit advanced settings and scroll & select "do not track" (I think that was how you did it - I'm using Opera atm).... point is, all the major browsers have it lurking in their settings, it's old tech. I'm 99% sure firefox already has it...
Your ISP and thus government/legal authorities have complete access to whatever pages you're accessing still... sooo I hope no one here is getting the wrong idea amid the NSA drama
Simply put, 3rd party companies won't be able to creep what you've been creeping on the web BUT won't give you that page saying "you can't be here without cookies, go enable your cookies". Your ads won't be targeted (debatable still). i believe there is a bit of debate about how useless this initiative is....
They do. But the reason why it comes as a stab to the "ad industry" is that Firefox will block anyone who tries to do it without you being consciously aware. You can turn of tracking in other web browsers which will stop big websites knowing your location (like Facebook etc). but the smaller independent websites (specifically ads and file sharing sites) who take the information without it being an actual process will be blocked unlike other browsers that block only websites that makes a "request" so to speak.
I prefer Chrome since it syncs from my Mac to my iPhone to my iPad etc. I used to love Firefox but Chrome is less of a memory hog and is easier to have on multiple devices.

This.
But I might check it out if they improve all the other issues they have... I used Firefox for years and then it just crashed all the time. Been using Chrome since fall of 2011.
