Now Firefox 69 is giving better performance to online gaming. In this way Firefox 69 reduces lags, speeds up ping times and optimizes overall game play. And it's all because of faster, leaner browsing.

Enhanced Tracking Protection

With launching of Firefox 69, the browser is now blocking known third-party tracking cookies and cryptominers in its standard default mode of operation. By blocking third-party tracking cookies by default, all Firefox users will be able to have better protection against companies tracking their browsing behavior across different sites. Firefox users can understand once increased pursuit protection is enabled, as a small shield will appear next to the URL in the address bar as shown below. Users can then click on the shield to get more information as to what is being blocked by Firefox. With protecting users from tracking scripts, Firefox is also now blocking in-browser cryptomining scripts by default. While cryptominers are not as common since CoinHive shut down, there are still companies that provide in-browser mining services that can utilize your CPU without your permission or knowledge. This could lead to slow performance on your computer and damage to your CPUs from prolonged CPU usage. 

Protecting users’ privacy beyond tracking cookies

Cookies are not the only entities that follow you around on the web, trying to use what’s yours without your knowledge or consent. Crytominers, for example, access your computer’s CPU, ultimately slowing it down and draining your battery, in order to generate cryptocurrency — not for yours but someone else’s benefit. We introduced the option to block cryptominers in previous versions of Firefox Nightly and Beta and are including it in the ‘Standard Mode‘ of your Content Blocking preferences as of today. 

Another sort of script that you might not want to run in your browser are Fingerprinting scripts. They harvest a exposure of your computer’s configuration after you visit a web site. The snapshot can then also be used to track you across the web, an issue that has been facing for years. To get protection from process scripts Firefox users will activate ‘Strict Mode.’

Ability to block any autoplay video

 In previous versions of Firefox it has been attainable to block autoplaying videos that contained sound. In Firefox 69, users can now block any autoplay video no matter whether they are playing sound or not.

To access this feature, go into the Firefox settings, select Privacy & Security, scroll down and select Settings next to Autoplay, and then choose the default option you wish to use

Adobe Flash disabled by default

With this discharge, Firefox will disable Flash by default in the browser and will always ask for permission before activating Flash on a web site. 

With this modification, Firefox will also no longer need to identify users of 32-bit versions of Firefox on 64-bit operating systems. This change offers an extra level of privacy to Firefox users and will reduce fingerprinting.

Windows 10 improvements

This release also brings performance and UI improvements for Windows 10.

This includes a new processor manager that provides hints to Windows 10 on how it should set the priority levels for Firefox processes. This allow less processor time to be spent on tasks in the background and more time on the the tasks you are actively working on. 

Mac improvements

Mac users also get improvements in the form of a better battery life and an updated download UI. 

Battery life is improved for dual-GPU Macs by switching back to low-power GPUs more aggressively, which will save on battery life. Plus, the macOS Finder will now display download progress for files being downloaded.
