That\u2019s because we love the Web, and we love making the Web a better place for you and the millions of others that use it.<\/p>\n<p>But since we created it, of course we\u2019re going to think it\u2019s great. That\u2019s why, when someone else \u2014 either a respected press outlet or one of our fabulous Firefox fans \u2014 says that something we created is great, it\u2019s even more special. That\u2019s because now you can see that the products we love are products that others love as well!<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, <a title=\"Firefox for Android\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/mobile\/android-download.html?src=blog\">Firefox for Android<\/a>. Why would you want to use Firefox for Android over, say, the stock browser, or another browser? We think it\u2019s because we\u2019ve made it faster, safer, more secure. But here\u2019s what some others had to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe company is giving the browser&#8217;s newfound speed the MVP treatment. That rapidity is as good a place as any to start a quick hands-on, especially since the native browser lag on our older Galaxy S handset often makes us want to hurl it through a pane of glass.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2012\/06\/26\/native-firefox-android-browser-adds-speed-flash-html5-and-a-fr\/\">Engadget<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been using Dolphin Mini up until now, but would abandon it for a slicker interface (and one that isn\u2019t an ugly pea green). Firefox for Android, at long last, does the trick.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/techland.time.com\/2012\/06\/26\/firefox-for-android-all-new-and-much-much-better\/\">TIME<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor many Android users, Mozilla\u2019s updated Firefox app could quickly become their favorite mobile browser&#8230; I\u2019ve found it to be the best mobile browsing experience I\u2019ve had yet.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2012\/06\/26\/mozilla-firefox-android-update\/\">VentureBeat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn both benchmark testing and regular use, Firefox is as fast \u2014 and often faster \u2014 than both the stock Android browser as well as the beta version of Google Chrome, which surprised me.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/mobile\/firefox-for-android-loses-beta-tag-speeds-up-mobile-web\/\">\u2013GigaOM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Google&#8217;s own Chrome browser requires version 4.0 (&#8220;Ice Cream Sandwich&#8221;) or newer to run, which covers less than 30 percent of the installed base. This makes Firefox the best option for an actively maintained browser on these phones, which are likely to be older or cheaper models without much hope of manufacturer support.&#8221; \u2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2012\/11\/firefox-for-android-brings-older-smartphones-into-the-fold\/\">Ars Technica<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Firefox for Android\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/mobile\/android-download.html?src=blog\" target=\"_blank\">Download Firefox for Android now.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we here at Firefox create a product we think it\u2019s awesome and cool and fun and, well, you get the point.
