| Make Mozilla Firefox more private and secure |
Firefox announced that DNS via HTTP is enabled by default, a new standard that encrypts some Internet traffic that is usually sent over an unencrypted plain text connection. This traffic can allow others to know which users are being accessed, even if they use encryption to communicate with the site itself. Location. HTTPS.
Mozilla Foundation is working to make Firefox browser more private and secure in the United States, and has stated that Firefox is the first browser to support the new standard by default and will be rolling out gradually over the coming weeks to solve all problems an unexpected problem. ,
The web browser must go through a process to convert a website written in the address bar to an IP address using DNS lookup. Traffic is generally unencrypted, which means that other users can see the website the user visits and over HTTPS the DNS option is an attempt to encode this. Information to protect user privacy.
Internet service providers who monitor the use of the Mozilla customer network were partly inspired to make this decision, and American telecom companies such as Verizon and AT&T are building large networks to track ads, although new options will not stop them. Collecting data, however, can make things more difficult.
Although it is difficult for others to display DNS searches with the "DNS over HTTPS" option enabled, the site is always visible to the DNS server the browser is connected to.
Mozilla has announced that Firefox will provide an option for Cloudflare and NextDNS trusted DNS service providers who use Cloudflare as the default. Mozilla has identified a number of data protection requirements. Every DNS provider must meet HTTPS security requirements in order to be considered a reliable solution.
According to Mozilla, the DNS option over HTTPS increases data protection and security for online users. However, the option has been highly criticized by lawmakers and security experts for preventing system administrators and legislators from trying malicious content.
Experts also claim that the technology does not provide the best privacy protection, and warn that ISPs will always be able to know the IP addresses to which users are connected.
