The first measures to be considered for general release will be the blocking of &#8220;slow-loading trackers&#8221;. This will be tested during September with the aim of rolling out as a default setting in Firefox 63. No definition of either &#8220;tracker&#8221; or &#8220;slow&#8221; was provided in the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>By Firefox 65 the browser will also &#8220;strip cookies and block storage access from third-party tracking content&#8221;. No further information was provided about what will be considered &#8220;third-party tracking content&#8221; or how this will differ in practice to the handling of &#8220;slow trackers&#8221;.\u00a0
