Firefox Continues its Privacy Crusade, Adds Forget Button

___________________

Have you ever visited a site you wish you hadn't? Perhaps it was a typing mistake or a an accidental click on the wrong place. Then you wonder, what kind of nasty Cookies have been left behind? Of course you could figure out the site name (now that you've quickly closed the tab) by looking at your History. And then rummage through your Cookies list and delete them.

Now there's no need to fuss with that scenario. Firefox 33.1, released on November 10, has added a nifty new feature called the Forget Button. Now you can, with one click, delete recent cookies and history for the last five minutes, two hours or 24 hours. Here's what it looks like.

This is just one reason why I am a big fan of Firefox. Mozilla, a non-profit organization, doesn't have corporate agenda like Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome) or Microsoft (Internet Explorer). Run by volunteers, Mozilla has one misson in life with Firefox. Make life better, more secure and more private for its users. In fact, they've just published a neat video that sums up the Firefox vision.
