Latest Firefox Brings Privacy Protections Front and Center
The downside of all of this is that I feel like sites are now intentionally being designed to break if this kind of stuff is blocked. I used to be able to use Firefox Focus (which has tracking protection built-in) to pay most of my bills. This was convenient because I would just open up the one site in FFF, pay the bill, and then close it, with all browsing history automatically deleted.<p>In the past month about 3 of my credit card sites stopped working on FFF, as well as my ISP's site. Some would flat out reject the agent ("Your browser is no longer supported"), others would let me log in but then immediately tell me I had been logged out or redirect back to the home page. So now I'm forced to open them back up in regular Firefox, history and tracking included.<p>It's one thing to say "Don't use sites that exploit your data", but it's not like the average person really has a choice when it comes to paying utility bills.
