[QUOTE="silversurfer, post: 953168, member: 26718"] Mozilla introduced the privacy feature SmartBlock 2.0 in Firefox 90, which it released two weeks ago. SmartBlock is part of Firefox's Tracking Protection feature, which is designed to reduce user tracking while using the web browser. To better understand what SmartBlock is and does, it is necessary to understand how Tracking Protection works in Firefox. Mozilla introduced Tracking Protection in 2015 in the Firefox web browser and improved the privacy feature several times throughout the years. All Firefox installations use the standard settings by default; it blocks certain trackers, cookies and other unwanted scripts, but balances protection and performance. Tracking content and cross-site cookies are only blocked in private windows in that mode.
