- Firefox 142 introduces CRLite, a new certificate revocation system enhancing browsing speed, privacy, and security.
- CRLite operates entirely on-device, eliminating online revocation checks that slow page loads and leak site visits.
- Unlike other systems, CRLite stores all certificate revocations locally, requiring only 300KB daily updates.
- Mozilla aims for CRLite to set a new security standard, hoping for widespread adoption beyond Firefox.
- CRLite's development involved innovative algorithms and contributions from both Mozilla and external experts.
