Mozilla is introducing a new feature to Firefox aimed at protecting users from bounce trackers, the browser developer has announced. Bounce tracking is a technique where a user clicks a link but ends up reaching their intended destination via an intermediary tracking page. This allows trackers to place and read 'first-party cookies,' which aren’t blocked by the browser, unlike third-party
But it doesn’t always point to the destination. Instead, it points to another page that then redirects you to the destination.
Your browser does not know the address of the destination, only the addresss of the middleman tracking webpage.
