Also in Fx120 we’re experimenting with URL Tracking Protection in Private windows for Firefox users in Germany. Firefox will remove non-essential URL query parameters that are often used to track users across the web. We hope to expand support for this too.

@ConnyDuck @FirefoxNightly Maybe because people inside of germany use it, but idk why they limit it to a country tho.

@luna @ConnyDuck @FirefoxNightly likely for testing a smaller group (so it does not break for all users if it breaks stuff), usually you can also enable it via about:config.

@FirefoxNightly reinventing the wheel, just bundle ublock origin and you're done

@piggo @FirefoxNightly hmm ublock does not rewrite URLs/remove tracking parameters?
Also it does not block cookie banners (there are other extensions for that), it just blocks the trackers. You often anyway have to click them away.
