Firefox 70 Arrives With Social Tracking Blocked By Default

'Mozilla today launched Firefox 70 for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android,
and iOS. Firefox 70 includes social tracking protection, a Privacy
Protections report, new Lockwise features, and performance
improvements on Windows and macOS. Firefox 70 for desktop is available
for download now on Firefox.com, and all existing users should be able
to upgrade to it automatically. The Android version is trickling out
slowly on Google Play and the iOS version is on Apple's App Store.
According to Mozilla, Firefox has about 250 million active users,
making it a major platform for web developers to consider. With
Firefox 70, Mozilla now also includes social tracking protection under
the Standard setting. It blocks cross-site tracking cookies from sites
like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.'
