Mozilla has announced a new security feature in its browser that notifies users whenever they visit any website that has suffered from a data breach.
According to Mozilla, users of Firefox Quantum web browser would receive a notification whenever they visit a website that suffered from a data breach within the last 12 months.
"While using Firefox Quantum browser, when you land on a site that's been breached, you'll get a notification," Mozilla said in aBreach Alerts. The feature was created to warn Firefox users if their credentials have been involved in a recent data breach on any site the user visited.
The news breach-alert feature is part of Mozilla's existing Firefox Monitor Alerts service. Firefox users can visit Firefox Monitor to scan their email to see if they were involved in a breach or not.
Mozilla hopes to help users stay safe by keeping them up to date and making them aware of the frequent data breaches.
