New Firefox 5.0 Android Beta enables private browsing with addition of Do Not Track feature. Also increase page load speeds for 3G network connections.
Mozilla has announced the release of Firefox 5.0 Android Beta, and the mobile browser adds a number of features that boost speed and privacy for users.
“Firefox for Android is the first mobile Web browser to offer the Do Not Track privacy feature,” said Mozilla in a blog post. “Mozilla introduced Do Not Track to give users more control over the way their browsing behavior is tracked and used online. It enables users to tell websites if they prefer to opt-out of online behavioral tracking.”
The Do Not Track feature is easy to configure, and prefrences behave in the same fashion as they would if used on a Do Not Track-enabled desktop browser.
“The web on your phone should be the same web as on your desktop, so to provide this consistency we’ve put the exact same Do Not Track feature in both the desktop and mobile versions of Firefox,” it added.
Firefox 5.0 Android Beta also boosts page load speed, particularly on 3G networks.
Grab the latest beta of Firefox for Android and check out the feature for yourself. What’s your favorite mobile browser?
Stay tuned.
