| Mozilla improves anti-tracking capabilities in Firefox |
Mozilla Corporation is improving Firefox's anti-tracking capabilities by combining the functionality of a multi-account container with a VPN service that allows you to separate your online personalities, such as b. Professional browsing history and your personal browsing history.
The Multiple Accounts container has been available as an add-on in Firefox since 2017. This feature keeps your different online lives in separate tabs that you can sort by color, icon or name.
These containers contain your browsing history. They also store cookies and tracking information. This means that you can log into different accounts from the same site simply by clicking on a different container.
However, using the Mozilla VPN add-on has the distinct benefit of being able to hide your location through a container.
As Mozilla's post explains, you can connect each online character to a different server.
For example, if you are traveling abroad but want to check your online bank account at home, you can use the plugin to browse the store in one tab and manage your personal money from a server near your city in another.
Using Mozilla VPN can help hide your web activity even more when combined with the Multi Account Containers plugin. This method makes it more difficult for servers to track you based on where you visit the website
Mozilla Firefox is used to protect your privacy
For example, this method finds out what is popular on YouTube in two different countries at the same time. It is also an important privacy tool to avoid prying eyes trying to find your connections between different personalities online.
For Mozilla's multi-hop feature, which first rolled out for a desktop VPN in September, you can route your online activity through two different servers.
This increases the coverage of your online guide. The organization has announced that it will add support for multi-hop functionality through the Mozilla VPN app for Android and iOS.
Mozilla also provides instructions on adding multi-account containers to Mozilla VPN and enabling multi-mobile navigation.
However, Mozilla VPN is still a relatively new service. However, unique features such as multi-account containers may make it more suitable for users with more serious privacy concerns.
