It\u2019s been a year here on the internet, to say the least.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve landed in a place where misinformation<\/a>\u2014something we fought hard to combat\u2014is the word of the year, where people are more worried about data privacy than job creation<\/a>, and where tech giants are facing an almost-weekly ethical reckoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You deserve better. You deserve to be online without fear, to know how companies are using your personal information. You deserve a defense against hackers, privacy that\u2019s automatic, and access to the entire internet.<\/p>\n

And you know it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why thousands of you made Facebook listen when the news broke showing they and Cambridge Analytica had played fast, loose and irresponsible with millions of users’ personal information. Hundreds of thousands of you installed our Facebook Container extension<\/a> to keep yourself free from Facebook\u2019s cross-site tracking.<\/p>\n

Tens of thousands of you joined us and stood up in the fight to protect net neutrality. We faced a setback with the vote to effectively end net neutrality in the United States, but we’re not giving up. Just last week Mozilla filed arguments<\/a> in the US courts to keep the fight going. Our efforts to reinstate net neutrality in the United States will continue.<\/p>\n

And hundreds of millions of you made a simple choice this year: to use Firefox, the only browser designed to serve you, not a bottom line.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re out here as part of the constant fight for a better internet. And we are, too.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re proud to say Firefox fights for you. Defending your rights to safety, choice, control and transparency have been baked into our mission since the start, but we know actions speak louder than words<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why with Firefox, you can choose not to be tracked, to receive alerts if you\u2019ve been part of a known hack, and to keep what\u2019s personal private, always<\/a>. You know what data we ask for (only what\u2019s necessary), how it\u2019s safely stored, and how it\u2019s used (only to make our products better). You get faster speed and inventive new ways to connect to the internet. You get tools to keep your information safe and alerts<\/a> when a known data breach impacts you<\/p>\n

After all, your life is your business, not ours.<\/p>\n
