It\u2019s not particularly fun to pull banana peels or egg shells that accidentally made it into the garbage out to compost them, but these are the sacrifices we make for the planet. It\u2019s how we prevent<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CxC161GvMPc\"> the tragedy of the commons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With every socially responsible choice we make, we\u2019re voting for the kind of future we want (not just for ourselves, but for others) by taking small, easy* actions to protect global resources.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Socially Responsible Way to Internet\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hY-RmUM5H9g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What people often don\u2019t think about when they think about preserving global resources, though, is the internet. Here at Firefox, we\u2019re backed by the non-profit Mozilla and <b>we see the internet as a global public resource that should be open and accessible to all<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Just like people work to keep the planet healthy, we\u2019re working toward a healthy internet.<\/p>\n<p><b>We champion openness<\/b> because no one should be able to restrict anyone\u2019s access to the Web for their own gain and competition leads to innovation and more meaningful choices for users. As Solana Larson said in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/internet-health\/decentralization\/\"> Mozilla\u2019s Internet Health Report<\/a>, \u201ca few big companies are closing in, closing doors, and creating walled gardens that concentrate their ownership and control of the Web. Together, we can fight to make sure no one limits our Internet access, experience, or creation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>We see user control in privacy and security as fundamental<\/b> (never optional) because we should all be able to choose\u200a\u2014\u200awith clarity and confidence\u200a\u2014\u200awhat information we share with what companies, understanding the trade-offs we\u2019re making when we do.

It runs twice as fast as it did a year ago and uses<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/quantum-performance-test\/\"> <b>30% less memory than Chrome<\/b><\/a>, so you don\u2019t have to feel like you\u2019re trading in performance for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re doing the work, all you have to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/new\/?utm_source=blog.mozilla.org&#038;utm_campaign=firefox_frontier&#038;utm_medium=referral\">download Firefox<\/a>.
