Firefox - Fast & private browsing

Choose a browser that values people over profits. In this new tech era, don't settle for browsers created by unethical companies driven by financial gain and data collection. By opting for Firefox, you are supporting the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, dedicated to constructing a superior internet focused on individual and public benefits rather than commercial gain.

Firefox vs. Other Browsers

Firefox vs. Google Chrome

Firefox’s default privacy settings are much stronger than Chrome’s. We also offer extra features to prevent sites from tracking you, like fingerprint blocking. You can also choose add-ons like ad blocking.

We block trackers by default, Chrome doesn’t.

In fact, Chrome, by default, monitors what sites you visit and what you do to determine “ad topics” to serve you more targeted ads. You can block three topics, but you can’t stop it from determining other ad topics for you.

Chrome allows other sites to collect your data to serve ads. You can block specific sites from serving ads, but you can’t stop other sites from collecting data and serving ads.

Google runs the world’s largest ad network, and Chrome is part of it.

Firefox vs. Microsoft Edge

Firefox makes privacy protection simple and easy, so you don’t have to worry about your privacy.

We block trackers by default, Edge doesn’t.

We also offer easy-to-use features, such as:

Edit PDF files in Firefox without additional software.

Translate web pages securely locally.

When you search, we make it easy for you to choose your search engine. Switching from Bing to another search engine on Edge requires some configuration.

Firefox vs. Apple Safari

Both Safari and Firefox have great privacy and security features.

But Firefox also has built-in tools, like:

Edit PDF files in the Firefox browser without additional software.

Translate web pages securely locally.

Firefox offers extensive customization options, including the ability to move menus and toolbars to different locations in the browser window. Safari's interface offers less customization.

We don't have to please shareholders, so we can focus on making you happy, and always putting your privacy and convenience first.

Easy Switching

Switching to Firefox is quick and easy. Import your Chrome bookmarks, passwords, history, preferences, and more with one click, and you'll be using Firefox in no time.
