When talking about browsers on PCs, the same ones always come to mind. Microsoft Edge, which comes already installed. Then there is Google Chrome, the option used by the majority of users that in turn displaced Mozilla Firefox, the great revolutionary in its day yes of browsers it is about. Opera may also appear on the list, but its market share is lower.

And if we focus on Mozilla, a few hours ago they made Firefox 62 available to all users, a version of their browser in which they have high hopes and that comes to try to scratch users in the main operating systems, be they desktop like Windows, Linux, macOS or mobile platforms with iOS and Android.

Mozilla gets serious about improving our privacy

"

If back in the day with Firefox Quantum they hit the table standing up to Chrome as they hadn&39;t done in a long time, now with Firefox 62 they seek to continue in the gap and for this they fly the flag of Privacy. And it is that Firefox 62 stands out above all for offering a new Protection against tracking "

"

Firefox 62 offers this new function and we can activate it from the same browser bar or by entering its Preferences option.One functionality that it does is that based on a list provided by Disconnect, it is responsible for identifying and blocking trackers who follow our steps "

To do this, it will use a notification in the shape of a shield with a green padlock in the address bar whenever Firefox blocks domains tracking. At that time, depending on the limited elements, the page may not load correctly. In this case, it is enough to limit the protection, either by clicking on the green padlock or by deactivating it from the preferences.

Along with the improvement of privacy, we find other minor improvements. An optimization of the operation of the browser so that it consumes fewer resources, more customization options or improvements in graphics rendering on Windows computers that do not have hardware acceleration .

Firefox becomes a very interesting option, especially if we want to maintain some control of all our data when we visit certain web pages. Do you dare to give it a try?
