Most of you will know this, but every website URL you open and its sub-pages has a unique code that can be used by Facebook, HubSpot, Drip, and Vero, among others, to identify where you are. You have clicked on the page.
They may use this access to offer you special advertisements that are relevant to the pages you browse. But with the QPS tool on Firefox, none of the trackers will know whether you have clicked on the page or not. And this way, you will see less ads on the web browser.
How to Enable This Tracking Tool on Firefox
Anyone using the Firefox browser can activate this tracking tool. Go to the Privacy & Security Settings on your Firefox browser, and there you will find the Advanced Tracking Protection feature. All you have to do is select the Strict option, and these trackers will no longer be able to monitor your web activity.
