| Firefox Privacy Configuration | 2020-06-26T22:35:05-04:00 | false | true |
Firefox has a great number of configurable options when it comes to privacy. I first discovered this as I was browsing privacytools.io recommendations. Mozilla also has a privacy task force documenting some these options. I later learned that there is a website called Firefox Profilemaker that takes the user step by step creating a privacy preserving profile.
Here are the list of settings in about:config that I found most interesting,
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| privacy.resistFingerprinting | Attempts to resist fingerprinting. |
| privacy.firstparty.isolate | Isolates cookies to the first party domain to prevent tracking across domains. |
| network.IDN_show_punycode | Render internationalized domain name (IDN) as Punycode equivalent to help against phishing attacks. |
Hold Integrity released a tool to check IDNs and see if there are any look alikes domains registered on the Internet.
