Amaya Toman Mozilla has released its Firefox 70 web browser to the public. The latest version of the popular browser brings new privacy protection options, significant performance improvements in the macOS environment and other news, including content blockers.

This function blocks the tracking tools of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter or even the professional LinkedIn. At the same time, users got rich options for customizing these functions. The degree of protection can be set to balance protection and performance, but it is also possible to activate really strict protection, which, however, can have a very negative effect on the operation of some websites.
Mac owners will welcome significant improvements in energy consumption and performance in Firefox 70. According to Mozilla, Firefox 70 consumes at least three times less energy. According to Mozilla, this improvement is mainly due to a change in the way pixels get to the screen. Users who have already tried Firefox 70 report much longer battery life on their Macs, significantly lower heating rates, and lower fan speeds.
Another feature of the Firefox 70 browser, in turn, allows you to detect entities that are tracking the user and prevent them from doing so. As part of the Privacy Protection program, users also get detailed overviews of all blocked tracking tools and other useful statistics and data.
