Firefox For a while it was the only real alternative to Chromium, which threatens to monopolize the web. In addition to using a different rendering engine, Mozilla’s browser insisted on two fronts: freedom for developers and privacy for users.

In terms of user privacy, Firefox introduced the so-called Full cookie protection (or Total Protection against Cookies), which was enabled by default only a few months later. The mentioned characteristic basically consists of putting the cookies of each website in its own “jar”, making it difficult for Facebook, for example, to browse different websites. However, Total Cookie Protection was a feature exclusive to the desktop and Firefox Focus app builds during this time, Mozilla has learned, so it was not present in the standard mobile version.

Fortunately, Total Cookie Protection should reach users of the standard version of Firefox for Android starting tomorrow, specifically with the launch of version 107 of the browser for the Google mobile operating system. As we said before, this feature was already present and enabled by default since January 2022 in Firefox Focus, a variant of the browser completely focused on privacy.

It is important to note that there is no separate option to enable Total Cookie Protection in Firefox for Android because is part of the “Enhanced Tracking Protection” setting., which you can access from the Settings app. To activate it, you need to set the mentioned tracking protection to Strict or Custom. Of course, uBlock Origin can always be added for better protection.

In addition to the presence of Total Cookie Protection, Firefox 107 for Android will preload intermediary certificates to reduce the number of HTTPS errors that users encounter, and will introduce support for Android 7.1 Image Keyboard and Google GBoard.
