Optimization is still needed for Firefox to suspend blocking of cookies

According to foreign media reports, Mozilla announced that the new Firefox browser will automatically block external website cookie files by default in the future, triggering a rebound in the advertising industry. A few days ago, Mozilla executives said they would suspend the deployment of this technology in Firefox 22.

Mozilla CTOBrendanEich made this statement in a blog post.

According to this high-level explanation, Firefox suspends website cookies, not because its position has changed, but it takes time to test related new technologies.

Firefox is said to be testing a patch developed by a Stanford Graduate JonathanMayer, which will allow Internet users to save cookie files on their computers using cookies on websites they have visited, at the same time, the request is to submit cookie information), but the use of cookies for websites that have not been accessed is prohibited.

However, some problems remain unsolved during the test. For example, the content of a previously visited website may be embedded with the content of a strange website.

Cookie files can be personalized for Internet users. Online Advertisers use this technology to achieve targeted dissemination. However, cookies also expose the Internet privacy of Internet users. In recent years, Apple Safari, Microsoft IE, and other browsers have begun to take stricter measures against cookies. For example, Microsoft automatically enabled the prohibition of cookie tracking in IE10.

At the beginning of this week, Firefox released the 21 new version, which improved fonts, social networking website APIs, and HTML5.
