Faster, more private, and backed by a non-profit, Firefox is more than “just as good” as other internet browsers, it’s the browser that’s good for people.

You know who loves push notifications?
. . . yeah . . .
We couldn't think of anyone either so we made it so you can deny sites from even asking if you want to receive them:
"Firefox Quantum is lightning fast, sleek, and ready to handle all six zillion of your tabs"
(First one to six zillion tabs wins the internet.)
Psst! It was never free. We were paying with our data all along.

Facebook made a small but interesting change to its homepage
Your move Facebook.
Enough is enough. It's absurd that ads for shoes and deodorant receive more scrutiny than political ads.
This isn’t a free speech test. It’s a test of trust and it’s time Facebook stepped up to the plate.
"The open source browser is, once again, seated on the ol' browser wars throne and it feels good."

We're more than a browser, so we've got a new look (and a few new logos) to cover our entire family of products!
Upload, encrypt, and send files up to 1GB. Links self-destruct and files will auto-delete from the server.
We made it, but you can use it on any browser 😘:
We released these new features mostly because people deserve better than an industry that makes them the product 🤷♀️
Today is our 14th birthday! 🎉
A million thanks to all of you who have been with us since the very beginning, the folks who have recently found their way back to us AND to those who haven't yet but might today since it's our birthday and all:

It’s okay to have a complicated relationship with Facebook.
For now you can keep Facebook *and* keep them from tracking you across the web at the same time with our Facebook Container extension.

If it feels like the ads chasing you across the internet know you a little too well, it’s because they do.
Throw trackers off your trail with 100 tabs of pure madness.
(Or, you know, try Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection.)

Stop rando sites from even ~asking~ if you want their push notifications with this handy little feature in our latest release:

We're rolling out a fix for the issues with add-ons right now! It will automatically be applied, so you don't need to take any steps to make add-ons work again & all your data should be unaffected.
Again, we're really sorry. More to come soon.

This seems like a good time to remind you that there are tons of indie alternatives to the big tech giants out there. Try instead of Facebook. instead of WhatsApp. Firefox instead of Chrome.🙂
Feel like there's creepier news coming out about Facebook every day?
If you're not ready to leave, you can still keep Facebook *while* keeping it from tracking you across the web with our Facebook Container extension.

To really protect people, we need to establish a new standard that puts people’s privacy first.
That’s why today we’re rolling out Enhanced Tracking Protection to all new users on by default: to make it harder for companies to track their every move.

This new extension isolates your Facebook identity from the rest of your web activity (which makes it a lot harder for them to use activity collected *off Facebook* to send you ads and other targeted messages).
Replying to
We have thousands of open source architects, engineers, and designers who have been contributing to decentralization & building community (like #indieweb) over the past 15 years.
It's safe to say we're extremely invested in the free and open internet, so we're here to help.

Update! A fix is being rolled out now.

We strive to make Firefox a great experience. Last weekend we failed, and we’re sorry.
More here, but one call out: if you enabled telemetry to get the initial fix, we’re deleting all data collected since May 4 to respect your choice as much as possible.
Tag that 1 friend who always has WAY too many tabs open.
(Then open as many tabs as you like. We can handle it.) mzl.la/FirefoxQuantum

“I also just liked the idea of using a product that’s not run by a tech giant.” —
If it's been a while since you've used Firefox, it's time to give us another try:
The internet: use it, love it, need it. In fact, it’s hard to be at our best when the internet is at its worst. And right now, the internet is kinda f-ed up.
Let’s fix that together. ▶️ mzl.la/3jh1VgZ

Wouldn't it be great if you could ask a company to delete the data they collect on you?
Well, you actually CAN if you live in Europe, thanks to #GDPR.

No, brand social accounts aren't run by interns. They're run by professionals. And in a lot of cases, those professionals are women.
This #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating those women (including ourselves, tbh).
Women-led brands, raise your hands! 🙌

So you’re scrolling through Twitter. That means you’ve got a minute! Good.
Why not use that minute to stop scrolling and take a few steps to get a little more #PrivacyAware?
All of the things in this thread will literally take you one minute. We timed it! [THREAD]
🎉We’re turning 13 today and all we want for our birthday is for you to try the *new* Firefox & tell us what you think. 🎉

Surprised to see using Firefox?
Don't be! This is canon as of season 1.
(Though we're a little concerned it looks like she hasn't updated to Quantum. Keeping your software up to date helps keep it secure! PI 101).
Facebook is talking a lot these days about becoming privacy-focused, and we really hope they mean it.
In the meantime, though, our Facebook Container extension lets you keep Facebook while also keeping them from tracking you across the web. Try it out: mzl.la/FBC

We stopped advertising on Facebook in 2018, not because we thought our tiny budgets were going to break their bottom line, but to send a message: people come before profits.
So excited to see lots of other companies doing the same.

CONFIRMED: WOW! @unileverusa has joined the #StopHateForProfit campaign and will stop advertising on Facebook platforms through the end of 2020. wsj.com/articles/unile
YES. This.
We left Facebook 2 years ago because they were blatantly violating people's trust, safety and privacy. That hasn't changed.

Here’s the ad that we ran with @NAACP @ADL @ColorOfChange @CommonSense & @freepress in the LA Times today asking advertisers to stand against the hate, discrimination & disinformation on @Facebook.
We’re asking advertisers to take the month of July off of the platform.
Privacy should not be optional (and that’s why we made it a default).
We block third-party tracking cookies and cryptominers *automatically* every day, without you having to worry about it.

Since not all companies feel the way we do, you can & should take control of your own privacy.
Know what your privacy settings on platforms are! Change them! Break up with brands that don’t give you options.
Here's a thread on a few steps you can take this #DataPrivacyDay:
✅ fully encrypted
✅ free to use
✅ doesn’t require an email address or any other information about you

Our browser doesn't keep a log of your personal searches. Syncing is encrypted so we don't even know your browsing history.
You’re safe with us AND from us. The way it should be.
we're here for you when you're ready. Just sayin'.
Protecting your privacy is hard work and you shouldn’t be the one who has to do it.
