Another browser feature that should be a given is the ability to prevent websites and companies from tracking your browsing and shopping data — even in normal browsing mode.

Our Private Browsing mode blocks trackers and erases your passwords, cookies and history every time you close it. But you can also experience our advanced privacy features even in regular browsing mode. With the latest edition of { -brand-name-firefox }, enhanced tracking prevention is turned on by default. This prevents things like cross-site trackers from following you as you jump around the web. Also, with { -brand-name-facebook } being caught out almost daily for privacy problems, our <a { $attrs }>{ -brand-name-facebook-container }</a> extension makes a lot of sense. It makes it harder for { -brand-name-facebook } to track you around the web — similar to what { -brand-name-safari } does to prevent cross-site tracking — but { -brand-name-firefox } actually isolates your { -brand-name-facebook } session into a separate container blocking { -brand-name-facebook } from tracking what you do on other websites. Why do they need to know what you look up on WebMD anyway?
