我喜欢Firefox(Firefox)的一件事,那就是他们的动机和对隐私(Privacy)的努力。每次我们访问网站时,都会加载 cookie、脚本和跟踪器来创建您的个人资料。发布后(Post),无论您走到哪里,您都会被跟踪,反过来,您可以收到有针对性的内容。Firefox在其最近的更新中推出了隐私(Privacy) 保护仪表板(Protections Dashboard)。在此仪表板中,您可以查看跟踪报告、基于您的电子邮件 ID 的违规警报,并为安全密码同步方法提供Lockwise功能。(Lockwise)
(Enhanced Tracking)Firefox中的增强跟踪、Lockwise和保护违规警报(Protection Breach Alerts)
在这篇文章中,我们将了解如何设置针对Firefox 隐私设置的(Firefox Privacy)增强跟踪(Enhanced Tracking)和保护违规警报(Protection Breach Alerts)。我希望所有浏览器都提供类似的反跟踪方案。
- 什么是Firefox中的(Firefox)保护设置(Protection Settings)
- 设置增强跟踪保护
- (Configure Data Breach Alert)为电子邮件地址配置数据泄露警报

1]什么是Firefox中的(Firefox)保护设置(Protection Settings)
Firefox提供了有关网站如何跟踪您的极其详细的数据,以及在您继续访问网站时它阻止的脚本数量。让我们先看看当你访问一个网站时它的样子。
- 打开任何网站,然后单击Security Shield图标
- 然后您可以访问
- 社交媒体追踪器
- 跨站点跟踪 cookie
- 不阻止跟踪内容
- 指纹
- 加密矿工
- 接下来,您还有两个选项——保护设置和显示报告(Show Report)。让我们来看看他们中的每一个
盾牌颜色是什么意思?(What do shield colors mean?)
- 紫色(P):(urple:) Firefox已阻止站点上的跟踪器和有害脚本。
- 灰色(Gray):在站点上未检测到已知跟踪器或有害脚本。
- (G)灰色并被划掉:(ray and crossed out: ) 站点上的增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)已关闭。
默认保护设置设置为标准(protection setting is set to standard)。它提供了一个平衡的配置来跟踪我们上面提到的所有这些跟踪。
- 当您选择(When you choose )Strict时,它会阻止更多可能跟踪您的脚本。但是,许多网站提供自定义技巧,这可能导致网站功能不正常。所以在改变之前一定要体验一下。
- 自定义是您选择可以阻止(Custom is where you choose what can be blocked)和允许的地方。它适用于那些更了解跟踪如何工作并相应地选择其级别的人。
根据浏览习惯报告跟踪器
这会给你列出被阻止的跟踪器。它还将它们分类为社交(Social)媒体跟踪器、跨站点 cookie、跟踪内容、指纹和Cryptominers。默认范围是过去 7 天。
2]如何(How)在Firefox中设置增强跟踪保护(Enhanced Tracking Protection)
- 在新选项卡中键入about:preferences#privacy以打开保护设置
- 切换到你喜欢的那个。任何打开的网站都会重新加载。
- 当您选择自定义时,您可以单独配置每个跟踪。
- 如果您对某些网站有信心,可以添加排除它们。单击管理(Manage)异常,来自它们的任何内容都将被忽略。您可以从此处删除站点,但要添加它,有另一种方法。
要将网站添加到例外列表,请在Firefox中打开该网站,然后单击盾牌图标。关闭“启用跟踪保护” 。(Toggle)您还可以通过打开切换将它们从例外列表中删除。
2]如何为(How)Data Brech设置警报
- 在新选项卡中输入“ about: protection s ”,然后按 Enter。(s)
- 滚动查找“注意数据泄露”。(Look out for data breaches.”)
- 在这里,您需要输入您希望收到数据泄露(Data Breaches)警报的电子邮件 ID 。您可以使用管理(Manage)电子邮件地址部分添加更多电子邮件 ID 。
- 一旦您提交了您的电子邮件 ID,Firefox 隐私(Firefox Privacy)将立即找到涉及您的电子邮件 ID 的所有数据泄露事件。
- 你可以直接去https://monitor.firefox.com/user/dashboard查看所有数据。
- 首先,您可以查看正在监控的电子邮件地址的摘要。(email address is being monitored.)
- 其次是涉及电子邮件 ID的违规次数( number of breaches)
- 最后,有多少违规行为与密码违规有关。(violations were related to Password breaches.)
下一个明显的步骤是重置这些帐户的密码(reset your password for those accounts)。如果您不使用任何这些服务,请确保从它们中删除您的帐户。
4]锁定
Lockwise是Firefox 浏览器(Firefox Browser)的内置密码管理器。它可以安全地将您的密码存储并同步到具有相同Firefox帐户的所有设备。您可以管理所有密码以及设备。
- 要查看有多少设备正在使用此功能,请单击管理设备(Manage devices),您可以在此处撤消或进行更改。
- 单击(Click)查看登录(View Logins)以查看所有存储的密码。您可以在此处删除或进行更改。
Firefox对跟踪非常认真,他们正在回馈消费者他们一直想要的东西。对数据正在发生的事情的控制感和意识。
我们强烈建议您每周使用它并对其进行评估。

Enhanced Tracking, Lockwise & Protection Breach Alerts in Firefox

- What are Protection Settings in Firefox
- Set up Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Configure Data Breach Alert for an email address
- Configure Lockwise.
1] What is Protection Settings in Firefox
Firefox offers an extremely detailed data on how websites track you, and the number of scripts it has blocked as you keep visiting a website. Lets first see how it looks like when you visit a site.
- Open any website, and click on the Security Shield icon
- You can then access
- Social media trackers
- Cross-Site tracking cookies
- Not blocking tracking content
- Fingerprint
- Cryptominers
- Next, you have two more options—Protection Settings and Show Report. Let’s take a look at each of them
What do shield colors mean?
- Purple: Firefox has blocked trackers and harmful scripts on a site.
- Gray: No known trackers or harmful scripts were detected on a site.
- Gray and crossed out: Enhanced Tracking Protection is turned off on a site.
The default protection setting is set to standard. It offers a balanced configuration to track all these trackings we mentioned above.
- When you choose Strict, then it blocks more scripts that could be tracking you. However, many websites offer custom stricks, which can result in improper functions of the website. So make sure to experience it something before changing.
- Custom is where you choose what can be blocked and what is allowed. It is for those who are more aware of how tracking works and choose their level accordingly.
Report on Trackers based on browsing habit
This gives you list trackers that were blocked. It also categorizes them into Social media trackers, cross-site cookies, tracking content, fingerprints, and the Cryptominers. The default range is the last seven days.
2] How to set up Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox
- Type about:preferences#privacy in a new tab to open protection settings
- Switch to the one you like. Any open website will reload.
- When you choose custom, you can configure each of the trackings individually.
- If you are confident about some websites, you can add exclude them. Click on Manage exception, and anything that comes from them is ignored. You can remove a site from here, but to add it, there is a different method.
To add a website to the exception list, open the site in Firefox, and click on the shield icon. Toggle off “Enable tracking protection.” You can also remove them from the exception list by turning on the toggle.
2] How to set up alerts for Data Brech
- Type “about: protections” in a new tab, and hit enter.
- Scroll to find “Look out for data breaches.”
- Here you need to enter your email id for which you want to get an alert for Data Breaches. You can add more email id using the Manage email addresses section.
- Once you submit your email id, Firefox Privacy will instantly find all the data breaches in which your email id was involved.
- You can directly go to https://monitor.firefox.com/user/dashboard and view all the data.
- First, you get to see a summary of how many email address is being monitored.
- Second is the number of breaches the email id was involved
- Lastly, how many violations were related to Password breaches.
The next obvious step is to reset your password for those accounts. If you are not using any of those services, make sure to delete your account from them.
4] Lockwise
Lockwise is an inbuilt password manager in Firefox Browser. It can securely store and sync your passwords to all devices with the same Firefox account. You can manage all passwords, and also devices.
- To view how many devices are using this feature, click on Manage devices, and you can revoke or make changes here.
- Click on View Logins to see all the stored passwords. You can delete or make changes here.
Firefox is extremely serious about tracking, and they are giving back to the consumers what they always wanted. A sense of control and awareness about what is going on with your data.
We highly recommend you to use it and evaluate it on a weekly basis.
