Firefox expands its Android anti-tracking security

Share This Post

TCP on Android will begin rolling out to users starting today and will be available to all users next month.

TCP was first introduced in 2021 but is limited to Firefox’s Enhanced Anti-Tracking (ETP) mode. Therefore, the user must manually select this security level to enable cookie-based tracking protection. Last year, the company made TCP available and enabled by default in all modes on Firefox for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The browser does not completely remove cookies. Instead, it maintains a “separate cookie box” for each site to keep your data in that silo.

Unlike Firefox, Google has delayed its decision to stop using third-party cookies on Chrome – which is expected to launch in 2024. Mozilla is also testing a new feature to create Firefox forwarding – an email proxy service – quickly during a website’s registration process. The company says that on some sites – which Firefox has not specified – the tool will prompt users to use one of the existing proxy email addresses or create a new one. Mozilla says it plans to expand the feature to all users and more websites later this year.

Firefox Relay’s masking service offers five free email addresses. But with its premium service — offering plans starting at $0.99 per month — you can get unlimited email addresses. Last month, Firefox for Android also received new extensions to remove tracking items before sharing URLs and listing articles.
