The company Mozilla has always paid great attention to confidentiality and security of the Firefox browser users. Suffice it to recall, as an example, that the function Do Not Track ( «Non-Follow-me"), which has now become standard in all modern browsers, it first appeared in Firefox.

However, this function simply tells the Web sites that you do not want to have your behavior tracked, and companies are not required to comply with it. Now, Mozilla developed a more active and effective protection method that does not depend on the discretion of developers sites and fully returns control in your hands. He called Tracking Protection ( «Protection tracking") and is a fully qualified domain blocking and sites, which are known to monitor users. An additional bonus that users receive, activate this feature, it is to significantly accelerate download many pages (up to 44% of the site post
