How To Track Third Party Cookie Blocking Browsers

 Private Browsers Are Visiting Your Site

Want to see them? 

 

 

Web browsers like Brave, Firefox, Tor (and soon Google's Chrome) block all third party cookies.  That means your web analytics cannot see these visitors on your website.

Traffic Catch lets you see every time a visitor using a private browser like Brave, Firefox, Tor (and yes Chrome) lands on your site.

Web analytics for private browsers 

What does that REALLY MEAN?

You cannot tell if an ad is effective, what YouTube video is getting traction, what affiliate is sending you the most traffic.

You are completely in the dark when it comes to who is visiting your website and from where!

Traffic Catch is the ONLY web analytics that doesn't use third party cookies. That means EVERY private browser that visits your site is identified!

Mozilla Lays Off 250 And Prays That Google Keeps Them Alive In October

  

 

Mozilla Corporation, the company behind the Firefox browser, plans to lay off around 250 employees as soon as Tuesday, according to an email sent to staff and a blog post from the company.

Let's face it, Mozilla is COMPLETELY dependent on Google, their biggest competitor and they are at their mercy when it comes to generating ANY substantial revenue.

In 2018, $430m of their $451m total revenue came from royalties from Google.

 Their contract with Google runs out in November. Perhaps these layoffs mean they are planning for a much smaller check this year.

Mozilla's problem is their management..period.

The pilot and copilot have NO CLUE as to what people want when it comes to online privacy. They are so far behind the online privacy curve in offering new technology and are merely playing the "me too" game.

 They introduced their VPN after every other player in the game had come out with one and people have now locked in "lifetime subscriptions".

It is also a bit of hypocrisy to advertise new "privacy" features" when the user's data is still being shared with the largest data gathering player.

Mozilla is still thinking of how to ADD new things to the computer to deliver privacy when it is REMOVING the computer from the browsing session that will ultimately deliver complete online anonymity.

Google won't let Mozilla die as they need to show they have a "competitor", albeit a fox who's leg is caught in the Google trap..

Mozilla VPN Exits Beta But Will It Be Too Late For Them?




Mozilla has launched its virtual private network (VPN) service to the public, starting with Windows 10 and Android in a handful of markets. 

The company debuted the browser-based Firefox Private Network last September as part of a pilot program. In June, Mozilla revealed it would soon be launching the VPN as a standalone cross-platform product for $4.99 per month and rebranding it as Mozilla VPN.

Mozilla is quickly losing market share in the browser wars and had massive layoffs earlier this year. They also face the threat of Google crushing them if they don't renew their contract, which generates over 90% of their revenue.

 So what do they do? They become one of the MANY MANY players that now offer a VPN.

Rather than think outside the box, and give users complete online privacy by running it the browser in the cloud, they are still focused on technology that was launched back in 1996.

Mozilla, once a pioneer for online privacy is now having to playing catch up. Their market share for the mobile is nonexistent and Microsoft's Edge just surpassed them on the browser leader board.

Firefox Mobile Barcode Provides Physical World Hyperlinks Online

Firefox provides a mobile "Do"-main.

How long before Google, Yahoo, Verisign (websites) and any advertiser introduce an application that generates a 2D code for any URL?

Consumer packaging will soon have 2d codes that can be scanned by mobile phones. A 2d code (Physical World Hyperlink) standard is being created.

Will there be a big desire for a proprietary code reading application? Where will big advertisers/brands focus their efforts?

360 Mobile finds the Firefox extension that will display a mobile code for the URL of the current site, called Mobile Barcoder

This extension generates 2D barcodes (called QR Codes) of the URL of the current page being viewed. You can then use a mobile phone to read the URL from the screen to save you typing the long URL using the phone keypad.

Once you move the mouse over the text “Barcode” the mobile code for the current URL pops up as shown here.



I think this shows how easy it is to create a 2d (physical world hyperlink PWH) and that it is just a commodity. Value from Physical World Connection will come when any mobile device can scan the hyperlink and be connected to relevant and timely information (database).

Various high traffic websites will offer 2d code producing capability as easy as Firefox does, and DuPont will be printing 2d codes on consumer packaging.

Both the physical world and electronic world are now generating physical world hyperlinks.
