Mozilla still hasn’t given up on its browser product Firefox, which is good to know. Competition is still needed in this part of the game, and it’s good that Mozilla can still keep Google on its toes. Mozilla is currently testing new privacy features in its pre-beta versions of Firefox, which aims to protect the users better in the Private Browsing mode.
These new features are still being tested but are now available in the Firefox Developer Edition for Android (as well as for other platforms). To increase user privacy, this new effort will now add some robustness to the privacy in private browsing mode. We all know that private browsing windows do not save a user’s history, now Mozilla is adding a block to active web content that can track user behavior – like social widgets, analytics, and other scripts that record your browsing behavior.
The Mozilla blog says, “Our hypothesis is that when you open a Private Browsing window in Firefox you’re sending a signal that you want more control over your privacy than current private browsing experiences actually provide.” This is an attempt to add to that privacy, which will surely be a welcome feature for Firefox users once it hits primetime.
Right now it’s still for beta-testing, but you should be able to download the Firefox Developer Edition if you look at the bottom of the page after the jump via the source link. Tell us what you think about it.
