Mozilla’s Firefox is doubling down on blocking internet cookies from tracking your web browsing activities.
In Firefox 86 which launched on Tuesday Mozilla added a new feature called “Total Cookie Protection,” which is designed to confine cookies to the websites where they originated.
The company describes the feature as creating a digital cookie jar for each site Firefox loads up. “Any time a website, or third-party content embedded in a website, deposits a cookie in your browser, that cookie is confined to the cookie jar assigned to that website, such that it is not allowed to be shared with any other website,” Mozilla wrote in a blog post.
