Another beauty of using Mozilla Firefox on android mobile is that it supports addons and as you know how addons can greatly enhance browsing experience by adding productive features and additional functions to our regular browser. Matt Burgess is WIRED's deputy digital editor.Mozilla Firefox is already one of the most popular desktop browsers and with its increasing presence on android phones, it is catching up in mobile segment as well. It’s expected the deal could be worth as much as $400 million (£305m) and help contribute to Mozilla’s ongoing survival. As first reported by ZDNet, Mozilla and Google recently extended their current deal until 2023. A large part of its income comes from a deal with Google that ensures its search is the default option inside Firefox. While Mozilla may be creating tools to limit web tracking and online surveillance it is still reliant on Google. Mozilla will keep investing in new products that it can bring in revenue from, he added. “In order to refocus the Firefox organisation on core browser growth through differentiated user experiences, we are reducing investment in some areas such as developer tools, internal tooling, and platform feature development, and transitioning adjacent security/privacy products to our New Products and Operations team,” Baker wrote in a memo to staff. This will impact the development of the Firefox browser in the future.

The trackers that are blocked are all defined by a list compiled by privacy company Disconnect. Mozilla first turned on ETP by default in September 2019 and says it has blocked 3.4 trillion tracking cookies since then. Camp says that because Firefox is relying on Mozilla’s browser engine it's able to use its Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) tool, which is turned on by default and blocks third-party tracking cookies that follow people around the web. Using Geckoview allows Firefox to also make speed improvements on Android that it first introduced on desktop in November 2017. “This independence lets us create a user interface that when combined with an overall faster browsing pace, enables unprecedented performance,” Mozilla adds in a statement. It also means if Blink suffers from any security vulnerabilities, Mozilla’s browser won’t be impacted. “Having our core browser engine be part of our product is a great way for us to be able to make every change that we think we need to see to get the web to where we want to be,” says Camp.
