Congrats Firefox - Firefox 69 now, blocks third-party cookies and cryptominers.

“Enhanced Tracking Protection works behind-the-scenes to keep a company from forming a profile of you based on their tracking of your browsing behavior across websites — often without your knowledge or consent,” said Marissa Wood with Mozilla on Tuesday. “Those profiles and the information they contain may then be sold and used for purposes you never knew or intended.”

Firefox users can see if Enhanced Tracking Protection is working when they visit a website and see a purple shield icon on their address bar. To see which companies Mozilla blocks, Firefox users can also click on that icon, go to the Content Blocking section, then click Cookies, where they can see Blocking Tracking Cookies.
