In a recent blog post, Mozilla announced that Firefox will now offer its Total Cookie Protection tool to all such users. Thanks to this update, the foundation therefore claims that the browser is the most secure on the market, ahead of Chrome, Safari and the others. A certainly strategic assertion, while Firefox is struggling to regain market share.
With Firefox 85, the browser introduced a tool to better protect the privacy of its users. Total Cookie Protection, its sweet name, has a relatively simple operation: all the cookies placed by the sites visited are redirected to what Mozilla calls a “jar”, located separately from the Internet user’s confidential data. In this way, it is impossible to spy on him during his activities on the web. Until now, however, it was necessary activate the option yourself from the settings to enjoy.
That will soon change, as Mozilla pointed out in a recent blog post. Indeed, the functionality will now be proposed by default to all users in order to offer the best possible protection. “It’s an alarming reality — the possibility that your every move online will be monitored, tracked, and shared — and a reality that runs counter to the open web we’ve been working to build at Mozilla.”writes the organization. “That’s why we developed Total Cookie Protection to help you stay safe on the web. »

Firefox attacks other browsers on their security
This statement leads Mozilla to make a shocking statement, which will certainly not go unnoticed by the competition. Indeed, the organization ensures that its browser is simply the most secure on the marketby offering “the strongest privacy protection to date”. This barely hidden tackle to Google Chrome, which struggles to do without cookies, as well as to other browsers is perfectly calculated.
It must be said that as secure as it is, Firefox has every difficulty in regaining its former popularity. According to the latest studies, the browser hardly slips into fourth place with its 179 million users, where Chrome and Safari have already exceeded one billion. While Firefox was once a real alternative to Internet Explorer, the arrival of Chrome has done some damage by leaving it only 3.41% market share.
