Mozilla claims to be working hard to address the concerns of the users in search of better browsing options, as the company plans to introduce enhanced versions of private browsing. The core purpose as stated by the company is to give users the much needed privacy from websites that forcefully collect their browsing data.

When it comes to private browsing, the only choice people have is to switch to incognito mode. But, even this mode is not able to offer the privacy that a lot of secretive users are seeking, as is indicated in a recent report by Digital Trends. In the domain of internet browsing, privacy is a protection that prohibits the website owners from keeping track of the user's browsing patterns. Mozilla has announced plans to combat this issue by enhancing its set-ups to offer superior quality private browsing, Digital Trends confirmed.
The current set-up by Mozilla turns a blind eye towards the website that are visited during the browsing session. In case of the end user, this is not the solution to the pestering by websites that quietly collect the data in the background, each time the user visits them.
In a blog post on their official portal, Mozilla said that the new development was currently in an experimental stage and so there was not much that could be revealed. The report also goes on to explain the hypothesis saying that each time a user wants a private browsing window, he or she is actually sending out a signal that they want more control over the data that they are accessing.
Through its new enhancement, Mozilla has said that users will be able to block analytics and other data that websites generally take each time they are visited. This makes their browsing more secretive and also gives them greater control. Another report on NDTV Gadgets claims that the experimental set up is available in the beta format in Firefox for MAC, Windows, Android and Linux. The new option is called the Firefox Developer Edition and is said to be able to block all types of tracking. Additionally, users have been given the convenience to shift to regular mode to view certain files which may be blocked, in a matter of minutes.
