Firefox is celebrating 21 years of Firefox by hosting four global events celebrating the power of browser choice this fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are inviting people to join us in Berlin, Chicago, Los Angeles and Munich as part of Open What You Want, Firefox\u2019s campaign to celebrate choice and the freedom to show up exactly as you are \u2014 whether that\u2019s in your coffee order, the music you dance to, or the browser you use. These events are an opportunity to highlight why browser choice matters and why Firefox stands apart as the last major independent option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox is built differently with a history of defiance<\/a>. It is built in a way to best push back against the defaults of Big Tech. Firefox is the only major browser not backed by a billionaire or built on Chromium\u2019s browser engine. Instead, Firefox is backed by a non-profit, and maintains and runs on Gecko, a flexible, independent, open-source browser engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it makes sense that we are celebrating differently too. We are inviting people to join us at four community-driven \u201cHouse Blend\u201d coffee rave events. What is a coffee rave? A caffeine-fueled day rave celebrating choice, freedom, and doing things your own way \u2013 online and off. These events are open to everyone and in partnership with local coffee shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each event will have free coffee, exclusive merch, sets by two great, local DJs, a lot of dancing, and an emphasis on how individuals should get to shape their online experience and feel control online<\/a> \u2014 and you can\u2019t feel in control without choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are kicking off the celebrations this Saturday, Oct. 4 in both Chicago and Berlin, will move to Munich the following Saturday, Oct. 11 and will end in Los Angeles Saturday, Nov. 8, for Firefox\u2019s actual birthday weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you will join our celebration this year, in person at a coffee rave, or at one of our digital-first activations celebrating internet independence<\/a>.  As Firefox reflects on another year, it’s a good reminder that the most important choice you can make online is your browser. And browser choice is something that we should all celebrate and not take for granted.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
