When it comes to browsing the web, one of the major factors that have people concerned is privacy. With many recent incidents involving large corporations buying and selling user data for their profit, it has become very important for developers around the world to create web browsers that help the user stay protected when they are on the internet and although some of the big companies have started incorporating privacy standards in their ecosystem, there are some independent developers who have made user privacy their mainstay. One such developer group is the Mozilla Foundation.
The Firefox browser is a free-to-use web browser that is available for PCs and smartphones. It has been around in the market for many years, but recently, with the rebranding that occurred in the Mozilla Foundation, the flavor of Firefox underwent a change as well. Today, Mozilla Firefox is considered to be one of the fastest and most secure web browsers on the internet.
What we love about the Firefox browser is that it allows you to set the level of privacy that you want online. Obviously, anyone would want the highest degree, but as you may know, there are some sites that tend to crash if you disable trackers and there may be a few among those that you really need to visit.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to set the level of protection on Mozilla Firefox.
Step 1. Open the Firefox browser on your computer.
