New Firefox privacy feature strips URLs of tracking parameters
https://www.bleepingcomputer.comMozilla Firefox 102 was released today with a new privacy feature that strips parameters from URLs that are used to track you around the web.
Once enabled, Mozilla Firefox will now strip the following tracking parameters from URLs when you click on links or paste an URL into the address bar:
- Olytics: oly_enc_id=, oly_anon_id=
- Drip: __s=
- Vero: vero_id=
- HubSpot: _hsenc=
- Marketo: mkt_tok=
- Facebook: fbclid=, mc_eid=
This doesn’t appear to strip UTM tracking parameters for now. If you get a lot of traffic from Firefox keep an eye on direct traffic.
