Proposal for Firefox: Adaptive Privacy Profiles

[TheZupZup]

Hello, I’d like to suggest an idea that could strengthen privacy in Firefox while remaining simple for everyday users. Currently, Firefox offers Enhanced Tracking Protection, but there’s always a difficult balance between site compatibility and maximum protection against fingerprinting. My proposal is to introduce a system of configurable privacy profiles, with an intelligent Auto mode: Standard Mode: Ideal for sensitive sites like banks, government services, or e-commerce. Strong protection while maintaining maximum compatibility. Advanced Mode: For everyday browsing (social networks, media, forums). Partial fingerprinting obfuscation, first-party cookie isolation, automatic cookie deletion on tab close. Ultra-Secure Mode (Tor-light style): Full uniformization (user agent, timezone, fonts), randomized fingerprints, complete site isolation. Intended for risky sites or when stronger anonymity is needed. Auto Mode: Firefox detects the type of site (banking, media, unknown/suspicious) and applies the most suitable privacy profile automatically. Users could still override this on a per-site basis. This would give users simple but powerful control over their privacy level, and would clearly differentiate Firefox from competitors like Chrome, Edge, and Brave. Thank you for your attention and for your continued work on making the web more private. Best regards, TheZupZup
