Firefox: Network Partitioning #36

Open yokoffing opened 3 years ago

yokoffing commented 3 years ago

Something to keep an eye on with Firefox: "Intent to ship: Network Partitioning" https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.dev.platform/c/uDYrtq1Ne3A

They say that it should be in Beta by now, but I've never seen privacy.partition.network_state enabled. (I'm using Dev build.)

Also note the Other Browsers section:

Safari:

Safari has shipped the network partitioning since 2013, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110269.

Chrome:

Chrome has sent an intent-to-ship for partitioning the HTTP cache[3]. And they have implemented the CORS-preflight cache partitioning. The metrics of the performance impact of enabling HTTP cache partitioning in Chrome have been summarized here.

New article that also puts this into layman's terms: https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-ship-network-partitioning-as-a-new-anti-tracking-defense/

Network Partitioning is native to Firefox 85+

Also something for your attention: A Firefox dev clarifies some of their terminology for their latest changes:
