Firefox 85 released Version 85 of
the Firefox browser has been released. The headline change appears to be the isolation of internal caches to defeat the use of "supercookies" to track users; see this
blog entry for details. " In fact, there are many different
caches trackers can abuse to build supercookies. Firefox 85 partitions all
of the following caches by the top-level site being visited: HTTP cache,
image cache, favicon cache, HSTS cache, OCSP cache, style sheet cache, font
cache, DNS cache, HTTP Authentication cache, Alt-Svc cache, and TLS
certificate cache." |
