The choice to use Firefox browser matters for Internet Health, and the health of the Internet matters for us all.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla\u2019s values of openness, community and user choice are built into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/?utm_source=blog.mozilla.org&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=internet-health-blog\">Firefox<\/a>, making it more than just a browser. Sure you get great performance, but you also get advanced protection of your online privacy and an opportunity to keep corporate power in check when you use Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>You also get the satisfaction of knowing that support for Mozilla pays dividend for the whole Web. We put our passion into what you experience in the browser; we also put in a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure the Web is healthy and accessible for everyone. The result is a product that makes your online life better, and a Web that allows everyone an equal opportunity to fulfill their potential.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how Internet Health is built into Firefox and the work we do for open standards.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Firefox really, truly looks out for you<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Mozilla defines a healthy Internet, in part, as one that gives you meaningful control over the data collected about you.<\/p>\n<p>We bake this intention into every aspect of Firefox, from the clear and simple way we write <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/privacy\/\">our privacy policy<\/a> to being transparent about what <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data\">data we collect<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/about\/policy\/lean-data\/?control\">how we store it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can go deep into our service agreements, but please know this: We do not store any sensitive information without your permission. Period and end of story.<\/p>\n<p>We champion your right to privacy with tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/private-browsing\/\">Private Browsing<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/private-browsing\/\">Tracking Protection<\/a>, which go beyond what Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge offer. Browsing with Firefox means you automatically opt into strict privacy standards. You also have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/private-browsing\/\">multiple options<\/a> for expanding those protections <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/blog\/2016\/11\/17\/introducing-firefox-focus-a-free-fast-and-easy-to-use-private-browser-for-ios\/\">wherever<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/forget-button-quickly-delete-your-browsing-history\">however<\/a> you browse.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox is the browser for you if you\u2019re concerned about what Big Data is doing with your personal information. Mozilla doesn&#8217;t sell access to your data, unlike other companies. We put you in control of your search and browsing history.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Firefox really, truly looks out for the Web<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>We take pride in making Firefox a browser with a conscience. We also go a step beyond to ensure that others can do the same through our work on open standards. A healthy Internet must be open \u2013 for innovation, for competition, for all voices and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Openness is the principle the Web was built on. It\u2019s why the Web works, and it\u2019s critical to the future. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/internetcitizen\/2017\/05\/09\/firefox-is-always-open\/\">Firefox is the poster child<\/a> for what\u2019s possible when you embrace open standards. We <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/moss\/\">champion the practice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/\">the people behind it.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The continued widespread adoption of open standards allows the Web to work towards becoming one seamless ecosystem. It means different products or services can work together. It\u2019s why you don\u2019t need a different computer or browser for every website you visit and video you watch.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla engineers play a leading role in open standards groups like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/standards\/\">W3C<\/a> with the challenge to kill bad stuff and push good things. We do this because Mozilla believes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>anyone should be able to build a browser\/website<\/li>\n<li>we don\u2019t want websites that can only be rendered in one browser<\/li>\n<li>the Web can create itself, if private, selfish interests don\u2019t get in the way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>When your browser is Firefox, you keep power in the hands of many<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the simplest way to fight the domination of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/21\/technology\/techs-frightful-5-will-dominate-digital-life-for-foreseeable-future.html?_r=0\">Frightful Five<\/a>? Spread the love.<\/p>\n<p>Browsing on Firefox means one less person making huge profits for big corporations. It&#8217;s one more person supporting and declaring independence \u2013\u00a0for you, and for Internet Health.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox is the browser that champions privacy and a Web that works for everyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/?utm_source=blog.mozilla.org&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=internet-health-blog\" rel=\"external\">Download Firefox now.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re anything like me, you believe the everyday choices we make matter \u2013 from the most mundane to the most significant.
