Firefox 120 Review

Privacy takes a major influence in the new Firefox 120 but that’s not the only part where the browser shows new features. This is the review of Firefox 120 and readers of this guide can comprehend what’s new with the final build.

When Did the first release show up?

Firefox is one of the browsers that gives rapid updates to its users. Usually, they provide new versions or updates every four weeks. The time interval of such updates can be too much for some users.

The month of November showcases Firefox 120, particularly on the 21st of November. You can get the latest version of Mozilla Firefox through this link https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/120.0/releasenotes/. However, before you download the browser, we recommend you read about all the new things you will be experiencing.

What’s New?

A notable new addition to the context menu in Firefox 120.0 is “Copy Link Without Site Tracking.” This update makes sure that links lose their tracking information when they are copied. This action, which gives people more control over their online presence, is in line with Firefox’s dedication to user privacy.

Firefox now includes Global Privacy Control (GPC) as part of its ongoing effort to improve privacy protections. This opt-in feature, which can be found under Preferences → Privacy & Security, allows users to inform websites that they do not want their data to be shared or sold. GPC reinforces Firefox’s commitment to user-centric privacy policies by being enabled by default in private browsing mode.

Firefox is still dedicated to protecting user privacy when using private windows and the ETP-Strict privacy setting. To strengthen defenses against online tracking, Canvas APIs now include Fingerprinting Protection in version 120.0. By taking this preventative action, users can browse the internet safely and securely without jeopardizing their digital identities.

One significant update that was implemented in Germany is the Cookie Banner Blocker, which is now turned on by default in private windows. German users of Firefox will be able to automatically reject cookies and ignore invasive cookie banners on websites that are supported. This function simplifies browsing, reducing disruptions and raising user satisfaction.

Expanding upon privacy-oriented upgrades, Firefox automatically activates URL Tracking Protection for all German users in private windows. This feature eliminates unnecessary URL query parameters that are frequently used to track users. Firefox’s proactive approach to user privacy advances this further, giving German users a safer online experience.

User-added TLS trust anchors, including certificates, are now seamlessly imported by Firefox from the operating system’s root store. Adding this will significantly increase security. On Windows, macOS, and Android, this feature is enabled by default. Users can tailor it to their preferences by going to Settings → Privacy & Security → Certificates. This feature allows for flexibility without compromising security.

The addition of keyboard shortcuts on about: logins makes managing credentials more effective. Users can use Alt + Enter (Option + Return on macOS) to edit a selected credential. Pressing Alt + Backspace (Option + Delete on macOS) makes it easier to remove a selected credential. By streamlining user interactions, these shortcuts increase accessibility to password management.

Given the heterogeneous user base, Firefox 120.0 expands its support to include Ubuntu Linux users. Now, with both browsers installed as Snap packages, users can import from Chromium. For users of Ubuntu Linux, this cross-browser compatibility adds convenience.

Corner snapping is now supported in Windows and Linux’s Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, improving the multitasking experience. Users can quickly snap the PiP window to corners to maximize screen real estate and promote a more fluid browsing experience by holding Ctrl while moving the window.

Conclusion

Firefox 120 came with a handful of new features in the privacy department. The GPC and ETP strict privacy settings can be a beneficial feature for users who care about their privacy and data. The ability to import user data from Chromium for Linux users is also very handy. Picture-in-picture is another welcome feature which was long overdue and it will surely improve the user experience.

So why Firefox ?

Many of us are not satisfied with the features and user interface offered by default web browsers. So we need a better internet web browser which offers smooth online experience without compromising on the privacy and security. Firefox web browser from Mozilla is one of the best that we could find that offers you seamless features.

Recently Firefox has undergone drastic change from Firefox 29 final in the ui and support to Sync works on an account basis for syncing bookmarks, settings, history and tabs between machines. Like any other Web browser Firefox has also got in build download manager. The only thing we miss is that automatic translation of Web pages in to English language if its in some other languages, but there are addons like s3 translator to solve the issue. Today Mozilla released next stable version of Firefox called Firefox 36.

How to ensure that you get maximum privacy and access to restricted content because of geographical restrictions?

Firefox itself provide you some privacy by adjusting some settings like changing the default search engine to DuckDuckGo and by telling the websites that you need not want to be tracked. To access the restricted content or blocked content in your area there is no provision in the default package.

So how you can browse Internet without a concern for privacy and blocks?

Simple way is by switching to VPN or Virtual Private Network that will encrypt  your sent and received data. Ok we know that some of you are still confused on choosing which VPN gives you maximum security with value for money as there are number of  service providers out there in the market ?

If you are asking us, we will highly recommend HideMe as we are using it for more than 6 months and we didn’t experience any thing bad about it.  What’s more?

It will also encrypt your browsing session even if you are connected to public wifi network and thus giving you maximum protection of your data and privacy.
