Firefox 90 SmartBlock 2.0: Η πιο σημαντική προστασία από παρακολούθηση που προσφέρουν τα προγράμματα περιήγησης είναι η mode Private Browsing, i.e. the incognito mode that often blocks third parties, even itself program browser to track your movement over the Internet. This privacy measure is not perfect and sometimes hinders functionality.
The new SmartBlock 2.0 for Firefox 90 promises to protect your privacy even in the most demanding services like Facebook.
Just like Google, Facebook offers single sign-on or SSO features that essentially allow you to create new accounts on other services through Facebook. This functionality often uses cookies, κάτι που αποκλείει η private browsing mode of Firefox. Things get even more complicated because Facebook is included in Disconnect's list of known trackers that Firefox uses to determine which website scripts to block.
Unfortunately, this puts some sites in disarray especially those who use Facebook to facilitate subscription to their services. These include Etsy, Pinterest and others. On these sites it is quite annoying or even impossible for users to connect to safe browsing. In other words, Firefox users used to have to choose between protecting their privacy or using these sites.
SmartBlock 2.0 will help you as it can connect you to these sites without sacrificing your privacy. Private browsing in Firefox still blocks all Facebook scripts, but when it detects a Facebook connection, it only unlocks the login script so you can continue as normal.
This exception only works for Facebook Links to Private Browsing.
