Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox automatically protects your privacy while you browse. It blocks trackers that follow you around online to collect information about your browsing habits and interests without breaking site functionality. It also includes protections against harmful scripts, such as malware that drains your battery.

What Enhanced Tracking Protection blocks
Firefox uses a list of known trackers provided by Disconnect. By default, Firefox blocks the following types of trackers and scripts:

This panel will display different information depending on the site you’re on.
- Blocked: Firefox blocked these trackers and scripts. Select each one to see a detailed list.

What to do if a site seems broken

- Visit the website.
- At the left of the address bar, click the shield icon.
- At the top right of the panel, toggle off the Enhanced Tracking Protection switch . The site will be added to your Enhanced Tracking Protection exception list, allowing trackers on it, and the page will reload automatically.
Follow the same process to turn Enhanced Tracking Protection back on. The site will be removed from the exception list, and the page will reload automatically.
