1841097 - Change the ETP Custom Options to include FPP

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, enhancement)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr]]

The ETP Custom Option will have a checkbox added to it to specifically enable/disable FPP.

My suggestion is to change things in the following way:

• "Choose which trackers and scripts to block" -> "Choose which protections to enable"
• "Cookies" -> "Block Cookies"
• "Tracking Content" -> "Block Tracking Content"
• "Cryptominers" -> "Block Cryptomining Scripts"
• "Fingerprinters" -> "Block Fingerprinting Scripts"
• [Add] "Enable Fingerprinting Protections [Learn More]" with a dropdown "Only in Private Windows" and "In all Windows" and where Learn More goes to a new SUMO page about FPP and what is enabled in what version and what you can expect from that.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop will surely need updating for any UI changes we make here.

Attachment: Bug 1841097 - Implement a checkbox in ETP Custom subpanel for the configuration of the fingerprinting protection. r?#anti-tracking

This patch implements a checkbox in ETP Custom usbpanel. It's for the
configuration of the fingerprinting protection. Similar to the tracking
protection checkbox, it has a dropdown list to select which window to
enable the protection, private windows or all windows.

In addition, we update the existing copy for fingerprinters to reflect
the newly added fingerprinting protectoin checkbox.

Data Collection Reviews must be made publicly available to the population having their data collected. Will this bug be made public before data collection begins?

Comment 6

[Tim Huang[:timhuang]]

I think we can make this bug public because people will see the UI and know we are developing fingerprinting protection once this bug lands. So, there is no point to hide this bug.

Comment 7

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Privacy: Anti-Tracking' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
