Download Mozilla Firefox – Improve your browsing experience with Mozilla’s open-source and highly acclaimed Firefox.
Firefox’s has been reimagined in 2024 to be fast, modern and inviting the first time you run it and every day after. We’ve always had your back on privacy, and still do. We think the browser should be a piece of software you can rely on to have your back, pleasant to look at and working seamlessly with the web.
Firefox is considered a secure and private browser. By default, Firefox blocks known third party trackers, social media trackers, cryptomining scripts and fingerprinters from collecting your data.
Yes, Google pays hefty royalties to Mozilla/Firefox for making them the default search engine in Firefox. That deal is worth around $400 million per year (as of 2021-2022) and makes up the vast majority of Mozilla’s total revenue.
Firefox and Chrome are updated every few weeks, so it’s hard to compare them over time. At one point, Firefox has offered advantages over Chrome in terms of RAM usage, but that claim can go back and forth depending on the revision (and the potential for regressions). Microsoft Edge and Apple’s Safari have also made such claims, but in general all browsers are continually improving and beating each other.
Firefox does offer better privacy and customizability (to an extent) and is a solid browser with lots of add-ons available.
