Firefox has received a new update bumping it up to version 87. After receiving an update back in February, the new version brings two important features: Smart Block and improved referrer trimming.
Firefox blocks third-party tracking scripts by default, and while it works pretty well, there are certain cases where a script is not tracked. This can lead to an interference with a page’s rendering where it is either delayed or completely breaks. With Smart Block, Firefox adds an extra step where pages that embed third-party trackers are rendered properly. “SmartBlock intelligently fixes up web pages that are broken by our tracking protections, without compromising user privacy,” says Mozilla in its security blog.
