Switching from Firefox

Aekant vs Mozilla Firefox

Aekant takes the Gecko engine Firefox users trust and builds in everything Firefox leaves to add-ons — ad blocking, custom rules, a new fingerprint on every page, and first-class containers. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

Why Firefox users switch

Everything you get
with Aekant.

  • Ad blocking and custom filter rules are built in — no add-ons to install or trust
  • A new fingerprint on every page load rather than blocking only known fingerprinting scripts
  • Containers are the core of Aekant, not an add-on, with the active container always visible
  • Each container carries its own route and search engine
  • Shares the Gecko foundation, tuned for privacy-first defaults
Coming soonTor-powered private windows — and more advanced protection already in development. Aekant updates are delivered straight to your browser, so every new feature reaches you automatically.

About the Firefox column.

Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection blocks known trackers and fingerprinters, and Total Cookie Protection isolates cookies per site. Ad blocking and containers come from add-ons, including Mozilla’s Multi-Account Containers. The Firefox column above is based on these vendor sources.
