Firefox has announced that with the launch of its Firefox 70 browser, users will be able to access personalized privacy reports. The personalized privacy reports will give users access to a custom dashboard that indicates how many times the browser blocked third-party cookies or social media trackers.
Users can access these reports by selecting the shield icon, which is located in the URL bar. The report displays information pertaining to the previous week, and it is limited to one device. The report will also provide users with a link to the Firefox Monitor, which will notify a user if their email account has been breached.
The privacy reports could be a popular feature, as it outlines the need for the privacy services Mozilla offers.
