Privacy Proponents Rally In Favor of Tracking Protection in Firefox
Privacy advocates are calling on Mozilla to better deploy Tracking Protection, a technology that offers more stringent privacy and speeds up page loads by blocking requests to tracking domains, in its Firefox browser.
The functionality has existed in the browser for months but the idea of making it a more prominent feature began to pick up steam a week and a half ago at Web 2.0, a one day workshop held in conjunction with the IEEE’s Symposium on Security and Privacy, in San Jose, Calif. A paper written by Monica Chew, a former Mozilla software engineer, and Georgios Kontaxis, a computer science student at Columbia University who previously interned at Mozilla, won best paper at the conference, and support for the initiative has slowly bubbled up since then.
