Oasis Browser: Enhanced Tracking Protection
Tracking protection is one of the main reasons people pick a Firefox-based browser. Oasis ships Enhanced Tracking Protection on by default.
Insight for other users: ETP blocks known trackers that follow you across the web: social buttons, cross-site scripts, fingerprinting, cryptomining, and many third-party analytics. It is not a full ad blocker. It targets tracking-related content while trying to keep core site features working.
What you get:
Privacy: Less cross-site profiling and fewer third-party trackers loading in the background.
Speed: Fewer tracking scripts can mean faster page loads and less wasted bandwidth.
Control: Pick a protection level and add site exceptions when a trusted site breaks.
Protection levels (Settings → Privacy & Security, or about:preferences#privacy):
Standard (default): Strong baseline blocking, including social and cross-site trackers in normal windows.
Strict: Blocks more trackers site-wide. Maximum privacy, but some sites may break.
Custom: Tune categories and exceptions.
Off: Not recommended if privacy is why you switched.
Check what was blocked: Use the shield icon in the address bar. When trackers are stopped, you can see counts and details for the current page.
If a site breaks: Temporarily relax protection for that site or add an exception. Start with Standard before jumping to Strict everywhere.
Oasis builds on Firefox core tracking lists and behavior, so protection updates as lists evolve. No blocker is perfect, but ETP is a meaningful default for daily browsing.

Any site that failed until you added an exception? Worth reporting?
