1481233 - Replace usage of "Tracking Protection" with "Content Blocking" in our UI where applicable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Protections UI, defect, P2)

Description

[Johann Hofmann [:johannh]]

This bug is filed for us to remember going through our UI after the main content blocking works is done and make sure that there's no copy left that still says "Tracking Protection" when the contentblocking UI pref is set to true (and no prominent usage of "Content Blocking" when the pref is set to false).

I think some non-technical people might ask themselves "Why should I block Content, I want to read everything?" and don't enable it in the main menu. Ads, Tracking and bad cookies are formally no content. Only if you see it from a pure technical standpoint.

"No blockable content found on this page." sounds a bit Chinese to me. It doesn't sound like Tracking Protection, but rather as if censorship would be usual and as if Firefox would like to remove text blocks from an article. If you then find an intrusive website and see what this feature really does, you realize that it doesn't block any content.

What was the reasoning to no longer call it Tracking Protection? Non-technical people recognize this term from media coverage.
