Improved sync functionality between your mobile and desktop versions of Firefox.Firefox will automatically block third-party trackers, which limits ads following you around the internet and increases browsing speed. Tracking protection is now enabled in private browsing mode by default.Here’s the full Firefox 9.0 for iOS changelog: Anyone can view that open source blocklist over on GitHub. The feature uses a blocking list published under the General Public License and based on the tracking protection rules laid out by the anti-tracking startup Disconnect.

This is the same feature that’s available in Firefox for Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as the same ad blocking technology used in Firefox Focus for Android and iOS.

This is the first time Firefox has offered tracking protection on iOS, and Nick Nguyen, vice president of product at Mozilla, notes that it’s finally possible “thanks to changes by Apple to enable the option for 3rd party browsers.” This essentially means iPhone and iPad users with Firefox and iOS 11 will have automatic ad and content blocking in Private Browsing mode, and the option to turn it on in regular browsing.
