The Mozilla Foundation seems to be preparing to bring privacy settings to the browser Tor project in the Firefox web browser to provide better privacy protection with additional options.
For those who are not aware of the incognito program, Tor uses Firefox ESR, which has been modified according to additional privacy and security settings to protect users.
The Mozilla Foundation recognizes these modifications, and plans to incorporate some of them into Firefox inherently. In fact, the company has begun to incorporate some protection features in Firefox, and plans to incorporate others into the future.
Until now, only a few add-ons add additional Firefox privacy features such as the WebRTC IP leak plug-in plug-in when using the browser.
Let's look at three Tor options already added to Firefox 50. Firefox 50 is available on Nightly Development Channel. But this means that until the final version of Firefox 50 these improvements can be postponed to be added to a later version.
The first patch blocks the list of plugins and mimeTypes. Web pages can retrieve this information from the browser, and use them for fingerprinting. With the patch turned on Firefox does not return any information to the sites.
Το δεύτερο patch λειτουργεί με παρόμοιο τρόπο. Ο Firefοx επιστρέφει 0 για το screen.orientation.angle και το "landscape-primary" στο screen.orientation.type όταν ιστοσελίδες ή εφαρμογές ζητούν αυτές τις πληροφορίες.
Το τρίτο και τελευταίο patch αφαιρεί την επιλογή "Άνοιγμα με" στο παράθυρο διαλόγου λήψης.
Tor privacy settings are not enabled by default for the Firefox audience. Let's see how:
From Firefox 41, there is the privacy.resistFingerprinting attribute, which is the main choice of Tor browser.
The following instructions are for Firefox 50 Nightly.
Type about: config in the Firefox address bar.
Confirm you will be careful not to lose the warranty :).
The privacy.resistFingerprinting preference does not exist by default.
Right-click the main area, and select New > Boolean from menu environment.
Name the new privacy.resistFingerprinting option.
Set its value to True to turn it on.
Για να αποκλείσετε την επιλογή "Άνοιγμα με" κατά τη λήψη files:
While you're still about about: config, search for browser.download.forbid_open_with
Double click on it and set it price to true and enable it.
Please note that every browser security add-on is welcome. Features will not be turned on by default, but there will be more protection options for those who want it.
