The list of trackers blocked by Tracking Protection in Private Browsing is based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/disconnect.me\/trackerprotection\">blocklist<\/a> provided by our partner Disconnect.<\/p>\n<p>A basic protection list is on by default in Private Browsing with Tracking Protection and it shields against many ad, analytics and social trackers. If you want increased protection from tracking, Firefox now allows you to choose a \u2018strict\u2019 protection blocklist which will block additional content trackers such as those often found in video, photo and embeddable content. Choosing this list comes with a tradeoff because Disconnect has received reports from users of some sites not working properly and in some cases being unusable, when this \u2018strict\u2019 list is used.<\/p>\n<p>We are continuing to experiment and get feedback on ways to improve Tracking Protection through tests in our Nightly release channel.<\/p>\n<p><b>More information:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/new\/\"> Firefox for Windows, Mac, Linux<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Release Notes for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/43.0\/releasenotes\/\"> Firefox for Windows, Mac, Linux<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Download <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&#038;referrer=utm_source%3Dmozilla%26utm_medium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Release Notes for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/android\/43.0\/releasenotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we are giving you more control over how your data is shared in Firefox by letting you block additional trackers in Private Browsing with Tracking Protection.
