<span class="message_content">Firefox users who want to better hide their browsing habits have a new tool to use, thanks to Mozilla’s </span>launch of Private Browsing with Tracking Protection (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/11/03/firefox-now-offers-a-more-private-browsing-experience/) in its latest browser release on Tuesday.</p><p>
The new feature is an enhancement to Firefox’s Private Browsing mode, which deleted users’ browsing history and cookies after they closed a private window. Tracking Protection adds an extra layer of privacy to that by blocking code embedded in websites that tracks the way people behave around the Web. That means it will block a lot of ads, along with analytics tools and some social sharing buttons in order to help users keep their browsing habits more closely under wraps.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3000859/browsers/mozilla-keeps-your-browsing-private-with-new-tracking-protection-feature.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
