FIREFOX BROWSER 85 - SUPERCOOKIES NEUTRALIZED!

[Cyberdyne]

WHAT ARE BROWSER COOKIES?

BROWSER COOKIES are small files which are stored on a user's computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer. This allows the server to deliver a page tailored to a particular user, or the page itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next.

SOMETIMES USEFUL - SOMETIMES WATCHING YOU

Even though websites use cookies legitimately so that they can remember your preferences each time you return from browsing other sites, they also track what sites your browser has visited, and more times than not, they are also allowing nefarious tracking companies to take note of your personal information for their own uses, including selling your private data to other companies, or worse. Cookies can keep tabs on everything from name, address, other form information you have entered, internet searches you have made, language, currency, and layout choices to previous search queries and items stored in a shopping cart, and more.

WHAT ARE SUPERCOOKIES?

SUPERCOOKIES are another story altogether, they are designed to track you and avoid your attempts at deleting them along with regular cookies and browsing history. The fact that SUPERCOOKIES make efforts to prevent your from deleting them by embedding themselves deep in your web browser is borderline malicious behavior.

In short, SUPERCOOKIES can be used in place of ordinary cookies to store user identifiers, but they are much more difficult to delete and block. This makes it nearly impossible for users to protect their privacy as they browse the web. Over the years, trackers have been found storing user identifiers as SUPERCOOKIES in increasingly sneaky and obscure parts of the your web browser, places like Flash storage, E-Tags, and HSTS Flags.

Trackers and and tech companies have long abused browser features to follow people around the web. Since 2018, we have been dedicated to reducing the number of ways our users can be tracked. As a first line of defense, we’ve blocked cookies from known trackers and scripts from known fingerprinting companies.

FIREFOX 85 has introduced a fundamental change in the browser’s network architecture to make all of their users safer: Firefox now partitions network connections and caches by the website being visited. Trackers can abuse caches to create SUPERCOOKIES and can use connection identifiers to track users. But by isolating caches and network connections to the website they were created on, we make them USELESS for cross-site tracking.
