It's also a real shame they're doing this before Mozilla. Mozilla already has Tracking Protection but only for Private Windows.

It's like Mozilla can't even embrace its privacy stance fully.

Like their entire revenue stream comes from search deals, who all depend on advertising.

In fact, Mozilla is working on that: https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/tracking-protectio...

> We believe these additions will help us take the next step toward shipping Tracking Protection in Firefox beyond Private Browsing Mode. Look for that study in late 2017.

Not exactly the same, but there's Privacy Badger [1] from EFF that works on Firefox, Chrome and Opera. If you'd like to see a visualization of the tracking for your browsing habits, there's Lightbeam [2] from Mozilla. Both these have been around for a few years now.

You can enable Tracking Protection in Firefox for normal browsing windows in the settings->privacy tab

Does not appear for me. It's only for the private windows.

[whoami_nr]

Oh. I am sorry. True, it doesn't appear for normal windows. Anyway, as some other user suggested, visit "about:config" and change the privacy settings there.

[Sammi]

What key?

[flukus]

I didn't realize it was only activated in private windows. Now that you've made me notice I consider this misleading, on the settings page it says nothing about being private windows only.

[kbrosnan]

It most certainly does say that this only applies to private windows, "Use Tracking Protection in Private Windows" [1]. If you want the always using tracking protection you can set privacy.trackingprotection.enabled to true in about:config or install the disconnect extension.
