Firefox is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation. It was first released in 2004 and is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS operating systems. Firefox uses the Gecko rendering engine to display web pages and implements both current and upcoming web standards.
Firefox is known for its privacy and open-source principles, which make it a unique web browser. Unlike other browsers, Firefox does not sell users personal data to advertisers or services like Google. Firefox blocks third-party tracking cookies by default, blocks social trackers, and has an in-browser screenshot tool. It also offers features such as tabbed browsing, a pop-up blocker, and add-ons or browser extensions.
Firefox is backed by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, whose mission is to ensure the internet remains a global public resource, open and accessible to everyone. Firefoxs privacy and open-source principles make it a popular choice for those who value their privacy and want a more customizable browsing experience.
