Plus they are not the personal data gathering monopolistic entity that is Google. Firefox has had a whole load of rules and limits in place for a long time, restricting what itself and others can infer from user data, and they take great pains to balance privacy against commercial interest. Practically four years later in 2018, Mozilla’s warnings of yesteryear are perhaps more prescient than ever before. In 2014, Mozilla announced that it was majorly concerned about the way people were so easily giving up personal data to the ‘Web’ announcing that “fighting for data privacy - making sure people know who has access to their data, where it goes or could go, and that they have a choice in all of it - is part of Mozilla’s DNA.” Privacy? Mozilla have been having that conversation for years before it hit the headlines It’s also worth pointing out that considering the recent scandals and increasing awareness around the use of people’s data and privacy, such as the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica debacle of earlier this year, that Mozilla have been shouting about user control of their data since back in 2014.

There are many reasons why you should consider making the switch to Firefox.įor a start the Mozilla Foundation, the company behind the browser is, in their own words, “a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet.” That statement, if nothing else, should make anyone who uses Firefox feel better about themselves. There are a host of alternative browsers from Opera, Safari, Maxthon, and of course Mozilla’s Firefox. But that doesn’t mean you have to use it. These days, Chrome can seem almost unavoidable, especially if you use an Android device.

Chrome is not the only option out there, google it and see! Back then, it alone held sway over a third of the market, which considering the giants it was competing against, such as Microsoft, Yahoo, and of course Google, wasn’t bad going. It may be hard to believe now, but anyone who can remember the web back in 2010 will remember that Mozilla’s Firefox was a pretty big player. Google’s Chrome may be the world’s most popular web browser, but it might be time to admit that just because Chrome is the biggest browser out there, doesn’t mean it’s the best, anymore.
