UPDATE. Mozilla patched a critical vulnerability actively being exploited in the wild with its latest update to the Firefox browser. The disclosure came a day after Mozilla released its latest Firefox 72 browser on Tuesday.
Mozilla this week released Firefox 72 to the stable channel with advanced privacy protections that involve the blocking of fingerprinting scripts by default. The release of Firefox 72 this week marked another milestone in the organization's effort toward a more private browsing experience, by expanding the protection to also include browser fingerprinting.
Set to be released next week, Firefox 72 will provide users with an option to delete the telemetry data that the browser collects from them, Mozilla says. Specifically, the CCPA enables people to learn more about the personal information that is being collected on them, to access the data and correct or delete it, to be informed on the third parties the data is being shared with, and to opt out of the sale of the data.
Fingerprinting is a new way of tracking your online usage. Find out what this is and how to make sure Firefox is blocking it.
