Firefox Follows Apple in Blocking Third-Party Cookies

Mozilla Corp.’s Firefox browser joined Apple Inc.’s Safari in blocking certain kinds of online tracking, leaving Google’s Chrome as the only major browser that doesn’t bar these tools by default.

Going forward, new downloads of Firefox will automatically block trackers known as third-party cookies, which can follow users around the web and log their activity. Safari blocked them in 2017.

Nice. I installed Firefox on a new laptop recently after I read about how Chrome will be blocking ad-blockers in future.

Now I have more reason to install Firefox on my primary machine.

FF has been doing this for a while, just not sure if it was by default, but was a drop down option.
Just breaks mail chimp sign up which is a bit annoying.
