When we hear “Mozilla,” we think of the search engine that is an alternative to Google. But the Mozilla Foundation is much more than that. On its homepage, it says:
“We collaborate with artists who help us see differently. We fund researchers who unlock new possibilities. We equip educators who turn questions into collective learning. We believe the best way to shape the future is to open it up — so more people can take part, create boldly, and learn together. This is where vision becomes practice, and curiosity becomes action. A better digital world doesn’t just appear. We co-create it.”
Cars & Privacy
In September of 2023, Mozilla claimed in an online post, “It’s Official: Cars Are the Worst Product Category We Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy.” That post said, “While we worried that our doorbells and watches that connect to the internet might be spying on us, car brands quietly entered the data business by turning their vehicles into powerful data-gobbling machines … with an unmatched power to watch, listen, and collect information about what you do and where you go in your car.
