Mozilla introduced a new recommendation system Firefox Suggest Displaying additional offers during input in the address bar. From recommendations based on local data and accessing a search engine, a new feature is characterized by the possibility of providing information from third-party partners, which can act as non-profit projects, such as Wikipedia and paid sponsors.
For example, at the beginning of entering in the address bar, the city name will be asked to describe the description of the most suitable city in Wikipedia, and when you enter the goods – a link to the purchase in the online store eBay. Proposals may also include advertising links obtained within the framework of the partner program with the company admarketplace . You can enable or disable additional recommendations in the section “Search Suggestions” section of the SEARCH settings.
In case of inclusion of Firefox Suggest data entered in the address bar, as well as information on clicks on Russification, is transmitted to the Mozilla server, which via itself broadcasts the request to the partner server to block the ability to bind data to a specific user by the IP address. To display recommendations, taking into account events occurring nearby, partners also send information about the location of the user who are limited to information about the city and calculated on the basis of the IP address.
The first time the Firefox Suggest function will be activated only for a limited number of users from the USA. Before turning on the Firefox Suggest, the user displays a special window with a proposal to confirm the activation of the new function. It is noteworthy that in a prominent place to vividly selection the consent button with the inclusion, next to which it has a button to go to the settings, but there is no privacy button. It seems that the function is imposed and it is impossible to refuse it from the proposal – only a close study of content makes it possible that in the upper right corner, the text “Not Now” is specified with reference to failure.
