Browser Privacy Controls topic image

Browser privacy controls are product features that give people more visibility and choice over how browsers handle tracking, browsing context, personal information, and connected services.

They include cookie and location-tracking protections, consent and notice tools, deletion or portability options, encryption and de-identification safeguards, and explicit switches for optional features. Mozilla’s Firefox Smart Window illustrates the user-control dimension: its AI browsing functions are opt-in and can be disabled individually or together through a dedicated management control. The subject is defined by privacy functionality delivered through browsers, rather than privacy policy or legislation alone.
