Mozilla has pushed today the final build of the Firefox 128 open-source web browser, which will be officially announced on July 9th, 2024, so it’s time to take a look at the new features and improvements.
Firefox 128, which is the new ESR (Extended Support Release) series, includes a revamped dialog to clear user data, which was initially planned for Firefox 126, but it needed more work to hit the stable channel. The new dialog lets you easily clear your browsing history, cookies, site data, site settings, and temporary cached files or pages.
The dialog looks similar to the one of the open-source Chromium web browser. It lets you clean data from a specific period (last hour, last two hours, last four hours, today, or everything). It also provides insights into the site data size corresponding to the selected time range.
Another new feature in Firefox 128 is called “Website Advertising Preferences” and it’s implemented in the Privacy & Security settings with an option to allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement. This feature is enabled by default and will help sites understand how their ads perform without collecting data about you.
