Firefox in 2020: what's next for the fiesty underdog?

Art installation The Glass Room (curated by Tactical Tech and presented by Mozilla) shone a light on the practices of Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook.

Sculptures, videos and other works visualized the labyrinthine connections between the companies that fall under each of their umbrellas, highlighted the length and complexity of their terms of use, and showed how much user data was released in the event of a data breach.

Other recent additions include Firefox Send, for transmitting files securely, Firefox Lockwise for managing passwords, Advanced Tracking Protection to prevent advertisers building up a unique ‘fingerprint’ based on your hardware, and Firefox Monitor, which lets you see if your details have been leaked in a data breach.

Preview is built on Mozilla’s own Gecko engine rather than Google’s Blink, which powers most of the world’s main browsers.

We started by asking Camp about the much-discussed premium features that the non-profit Mozilla Foundation is considering adding to Firefox as a way to pay the bills in a transparent way without resorting to ads and tracking.

Instead, he and his team are looking at privacy-related tools that will augment the existing browser.
