Mozilla: It’s Time to Ditch Google

The open, global internet is a remarkable resource that connects us all and empowers individuals to share ideas, collaborate, and innovate. It embodies our collective hopes for a better future, fostering learning, understanding, and solutions to the challenges we face together.

As passionate supporters of Mozilla and its mission, we want to express our thoughts on the current landscape, especially in light of the ongoing U.S. v. Google LLC case and its implications for Mozilla’s search partnerships. While Mozilla has always championed user privacy and an open web, the increasing reliance on Google for revenue raises important questions about our shared commitment to these values.

Now is the time for Mozilla to take bold steps to reinforce its identity as a privacy-centric nonprofit and to prioritize the Firefox browser as the heart of your mission.

Embrace Independence

It is time to reevaluate the partnership with Google and seek alternatives that align with Mozilla’s values. By distancing itself from Google, Mozilla can reaffirm its commitment to user privacy and autonomy, fostering trust among its user base.

Focus on Firefox

The Firefox browser has been a cornerstone of Mozilla’s identity. By concentrating resources and innovation on enhancing Firefox, you can improve user experience, performance, and privacy features. This focus will not only attract new users but also retain existing ones who value a browser that prioritizes their needs.

Sustainable, Privacy-First Ventures

Firefox needs new revenue streams to be sustainable. New products and services under Mozilla’s umbrella should reflect the same commitment to privacy that defines Mozilla. By prioritizing user-friendly, privacy-respecting practices, you can strengthen your reputation as a leader in the digital rights movement.

Engage with the Community

Mozilla thrives on the passion and creativity of its community. By actively involving users and developers in the conversation, you can gather valuable insights and foster a sense of shared ownership in the future of Mozilla.

The future of Mozilla depends on its ability to remain true to its founding principles. By taking decisive action to reinforce your commitment to privacy and focusing on the Firefox browser, you can continue to lead the way in creating a better internet for everyone.
