The latest Firefox 4 Beta is now available to download and test. We\u2019ve continued our work to improve performance and stability, while also implementing a \u201cDo Not Track\u201d privacy feature to provide more control over online behavioral tracking.<\/p>\n

The Web is evolving quickly and so are the ways that your data is collected, shared and stored. With the integration of the \u201cDo Not Track\u201d option into Firefox 4 Beta, you can now check a \u201cDo Not Track\u201d box in the \u201cAdvanced\u201d screen of Firefox\u2019s Options. When this option is selected, a header will be sent signaling to websites that you wish to opt-out of online behavioral tracking. \u00a0You will not notice any difference in your browsing experience until sites and advertisers start responding to the header.<\/p>\n

You can read more about behavioral tracking in this post<\/a> from Mozilla Privacy Lead, Alex Fowler. \u00a0For more information about the technical implementation Do Not Track, check out this post<\/a> from Sid Stamm, Mozilla security and privacy engineer.<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t do this without the help of our millions of beta testers and their feedback, which we welcome as we continue to improve and polish Firefox 4 Beta to ensure we deliver an awesome experience to our 400 million users around the world.<\/p>\n
