I also don't browse 'dodgy' sites and rarely download anything - if I do it goes into a single download folder and is scanned before I do anything with it. and there's a nice little Pi-Hole on the network.

Firefox runs NoScript, UBLock origin, Self deleting cookies etc. The machine I use for browsing is reasonably hardened, runs Ubuntu, and is on it's own local network. So I'm actually using the last old version that doesn't auto update.ĭoes this mean it might have security holes ? yes.

Worse than that is it trying to continually update itself and force the never ending UI crapification on me. The constant messing about with the UI has put me right off it. For years, it was the best contender for keeping Google Chrome in check, offering a privacy-forward alternative to the world's most dominant browser. Its fate also has larger implications for the web as a whole. All that has left industry analysts and former employees concerned about Firefox's future. A spate of privacy-focused browsers now compete on its turf, while new-feature misfires have threatened to alienate its base. Next year, its lucrative search deal with Google - responsible for the vast majority of its revenue - is set to expire. But its market share decline was accompanied by two rounds of layoffs at Mozilla during 2020. In the two decades since Firefox launched from the shadows of Netscape, it has been key to shaping the web's privacy and security, with staff pushing for more openness online and better standards. 'In the last couple years, what we've seen is actually a pretty substantial flattening,' Deckelmann adds. Mozilla's own statistics show a drop of around 30 million monthly active users from the start of 2019 to the start of 2022. 'Looking back five years and looking at our market share and our own numbers that we publish, there's no denying the decline,' says Selena Deckelmann, senior vice president of Firefox. From a report: Across all devices, the browser has slid to less than 4 percent of the market - on mobile it's a measly half a percent. Almost 15 years later, things aren't so rosy. 'Our market share in the regions above has been growing like crazy,' Ken Kovash, Mozilla's data analytics team manager at the time, wrote in a blog post. In Indonesia, Macedonia, and Slovenia, more than half of everyone going online was using Firefox. Twenty percent of the 1.5 billion people online were using Mozilla's browser to navigate the web. At the end of 2008, Firefox was flying high.
