It\u2019s May the 4th, a sacred day to many Mozillians, all aspiring Jedi, and most of the people who wait in line outside movie theaters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Which got us thinking about the internet. We\u2019re made by Mozilla. Everything gets us thinking about the internet. Is the web leaning toward the Dark Side? Or the Light Side?<\/p>\n

(If you fall for the innuendo of The Last Jedi trailer, those sides are about to flip like the next geomagnetic reversal and maybe, just maybe bring balance. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?)<\/p>\n

Anyway, to help us answer the Dark\/Light question, we made a handy list.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: This post is just for fun. We\u2019re not talking about the Dark Web, or even the dark behavior that continues to plague many people\u2019s lives online. We care very much about that very important stuff, and we invite you to join our ongoing dialogue about it over here<\/a>. But just this second right here, we\u2019re nerding out on a day that celebrates both the best and worst of meme culture at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is just a start. Tell us your fav light \/ dark aspects in the comments!<\/p>\n

Much like that galaxy far, far away, it looks like this battle is epic. In fact, it may be many, many sequels and prequels and spinoffs and merchandising campaigns before we know which side wins. We\u2019re pulling for the Light Side. As the only browser backed by a non-profit that fights for your rights online, we\u2019re in it to win it for the health of our largest public resource, and the entire public that makes use of it.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, May the 4th be with you. And you. And you. And also you.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see you in line on December 15th<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
