Firefox turns data power plays into a game"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

We\u2019re celebrating Firefox\u2019s 21st anniversary this November, marking more than two decades of building a web that reflects creativity, independence and trust. While other major browsers are backed by billionaires, Firefox exists to ensure that the internet works for you \u2014 not for those cashing in on your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the idea behind Billionaire Blast Off (BBO)<\/a>, an interactive experience where you design a fictional, over-the-top billionaire and launch them on a one-way trip to space. It\u2019s a playful way to flip Big Tech\u2019s power dynamics and remind people that choice belongs in our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BBO lives online at billionaireblastoff.firefox.com<\/a>, where you can build avatars, share memes and join in the joke. Offline, we\u2019re bringing the fun to TwitchCon<\/a>, with life-size games and our card game Data War<\/em>, where data is currency and space is the prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The billionaire playbook for your data, served with satire <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The goal of Billionaire Blast Off isn\u2019t finger-wagging \u2014 it\u2019s satire you can play. It makes the hidden business of your data tangible, and instead of just reading about the problem, you get to laugh at it, remix it and send it into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is a safe, silly and shareable way to talk about something serious: who really holds the power over your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
